years old, a wealthy paper box manufac-
turer. of Brooklyn, brought in a verdict
for $500. Miss Mcintyre sued for Sl5o,OOO.
AS the aged but affectionate Mr.. Hughes
had sent in a letter to Miss Mcintyre a
Chain of hugs and kisses seven hundred
miles long, with not a link broken the
verdict seemed TO be at the rate of so
a mile.
Mr.. Hughes, who was not in court yes
terday. had said on the stand that he
did not mean it when he wrote to Miss
Mcintyre in terms Of endearment' but
only to fill space" in his letter.
Mrs. Elizabeth McAndrews, daughter
Of the defendant, testified yesterday that
she thought il was "a big joke when she
heard about her fathers engagement TO
Miss Mcintyre. who had been friend OF
Mr.. Hughes's three daughters. Miss
Katherine Hughes, another daughter
quoted the plaintiff as saying to her:
our IdlneI has bOl W 49,
he doesn't. I'll expose him and the whole
family TO the public. I've got the rings
and the letters. I'll disgrace you all.

OF culture and refinement, and was earn
ing from 81. 500 To $500 a year when she
became engaged to the defendant Ihe
Justice said there was no denial that the
contract Of marriage was made or that
il had been broken. All the jury had to
determine, he said, was whether there
was any justification for the breach OF
contract.
zone great element of damage to be
considered" said Justice Hooker, is the
mental anguish suffered by the plaintiff
We must remember that the marriage
contract is the most important known 10
society. the most sacred known TO the
law. IL is not the same as contracting
TO buy land; neither is II the same as
contracting to buy merchandise. II rep
resents a fundamental social relation
After the verdict was rendered counsel
FOR Mr.. Hughes moved TO have 1t set aside
as against the weight Of evidence and as
excessive. Justice Hooker VIII hear ar
