Miss Honora May 0'Rric", who was

ionaire. has been given ten days by

ticc Cropsey handed down his decision
in Brooklyn yesterday as the result Of
motion BY Martin W. Littletor.
counsel for Manning, to sct aside the
verdict as excessive.
Mss O'Brien. who is twenty-nnc
years old, brought suit against Man
ring, who is cighty-four, after he hai
abruptly broker his engagement to her
on the day set for their wedding. She
asked for 100000 damages, and as
serted that Manning was worth be
tween S75,OOO.OOO and 2O,0OO,Oo0. The
case was tried in Long Island City be-
fore Justice Cropsey, and the jury's
verdict was generally believed to set
record in such actions.
IN reducing the award made Miss
O'Brien by almost half justice Crop
sey pointed oft that Manning. in all
probability, had but a few years TO
lie. and Il was extremely doubtful to
him if Miss O'Brien could suffer s22j.-
600 worth OF damages n that short
time by being deprived OF the right
to spend them with him.
1.-THE only question:" said Justice
Cropsey. rs whether this verdict is
excessive. Generally that is a ques-
ton for juries alone 10 decide. There
are facts. however, which put this case
in class by itself. The defendant
is very rich. but he is also very old.
THE plaintiff has not lost chance
Of bettermcrt through her inability 10
marry the defendant, nor has she lost
her chance 20 marry some one else.
The damage she did suffer was mostly
from wounded pride, modification and
the loss of benefits which she would
haze had il she had married the de-
PENDANT.
Evidence was introduced that the
defendant strangled his daughters pet
dog, that he had been expelled from
the Stock Exchange, and that he had
been sued by his former wife for
cruelty and non-support. These bits
of evidence may have prejudiced the
fury. but they should not have been
figured in estimating the damages"
Stephen {. Baldwin, counsel TO Miss
O'Brien, is out Of town. ". $. Butler,
partner. said that il would not be
possible for him TO state what action
would be taken until after he had had
an opportunity to confer with Miss
O'Brien.
