kee, Cannot Collect $4,000

Jury to the plaintiff was excessive.
The verdict of $4,000, awarded the
plaintiff, was returned at the trial OF
the case in Sioux Falls a few months
ago after the jury had been out only
bou 20 minutes. The amount OF
damages given Mrs. Armour MS heart
balm in her suit against the Milbanll
woman for the alienation Of her hus-
bands affections was one Of the larg-
est ever allowed in the northwest in
such a case.
In commenting on h matter before
ordering q new trial Judge Elliott de-
clared that the size of the Judgment
had shocked him, and convinced him
that the jury was influenced by other
considerations than the evidence and
law.
The plaintiff. at the trial of the case,

frequently visited South Dakota on
business, had met the defendant while
In Mflbank and had become infatuated
with her to the neglect of his wife.

livered to Secretary Lansing today a

cided a nothing concerning it would
