AGAINST ACTRESS
FOR HEART BALM

MINEOLA. y. Y. Oct. 90
Opening Of a sealed verdict in Su-
preme Court here today showed
that the jury which heard the trial
of Mrs. Katherine VI. Frev's 800

ed but 3S minutes.
Mrs. FREY accused the actress of
alternating the affections Of Charles
FREY, turfman and former Kentucky

cal comedy star was unaware that

Former servants in Miss Ben
nett g Great Neck home testified to
the friendly relations Of the couple,
a pair Of purple pajamas figuring
in the testimony.
Frev claimed he had ceased to
love his wife in January, 1922. The
iury's verdict, which was opened
by Supreme Court Clerk Daniel f.

Gated by their actions Friday that
they had found in favor Of the

awarded was largcd than had been
expected, however.

RENT LAW PASSING NOTED

The District Court of Appeals to-
day in an opinion by Justice Van
Orsdel took judicial notice of the
passing of the rent commission and
the expiration of the Ball rent law
The court dismissed as moot" an
appeal by the commission from the
action of the District Supreme Court
granting an injunction asked by
Harry Norment and Charles Linkens
to prevent the hearing of an appli-
cation of their tenant at $50 New
Hampshire avenue, against whom
was then pending an eviction pro-
ceeding in Municipal Court for non
payment of rent.
Justice Van Orsdel said the case
might be affirmed on the strength of
the Peck VS. Fink case in which the
court had held that the housing
emergency having passed Congress
lacked authority to make the last eX-
tension of the Ball act, but as the
extension period has passed the case
failed as moot" with the passing of
the act and the commission.
