CHARLES STIFF
 JURY SPLIT UP
Liverwurst Man Favored 8 to 4 But There Peace
 Was Ended

New York, Nov. 19-(UP)-A supreme court jury of nine women and three men reported to Justice Philip McCook today that after 10 hours of deliberation it was unable to agree whether Charles A. Stiff was entitled to damages for the loss of his wife's affection-a loss he said became painfully evident when she quit putting liverwurst in his lunch box.
 Stiff, railroad baggage master, sued Oscar Douglas, Jr., for $25O, 900 charging that the wealthy chain store executive stole the affections of Mrs. Alice Stiff.
 Took Case Yesterday
 The jury took the case at 2 p. m. yesterday shortly after the baggage masters attorney, Bernard Sander, caused Stiff's upper lip to tremble and his eyes to fill with tears by describing the day when Mrs. Stiff not only left liverwurst out of the lunchbox but inserted in its place a cold boiled potato.
 Because of her failure to stock his lunchbox with his favorite food, Stiff knew what he had long sus- pected, that his wife no longer loved him, the attorney said.
 8 to 4 for Stiff
 The jury, it was reported, stood 8 to 4 for Stiff when it finally. gave up at midnight. Two of the men, it was said, voted that the baggage master had been wronged. But even those who favored the plaintiff were unable to make up their minds as to the extent of the damage. After 10 hours of argument they were so befogged, as one said off the record, that they could no longer distin- guish between liverwurst and ba- loney."
 Justice McCook reserved decision on Sanders motion for a new trial and defense motion for dismissal.

what unenviable isolation"
 Recalls Dukes Marriage
 Those who heard the archbishop recalled the defiance of the Rev. R. Anderson Jardine in performing Q marriage ceremony for the Duke and Duchess of Windsor.
 Some thought that the motion yesterday of Lord Hugh Cecil might have had some connection with the dukes marriage. However, the duchess was the plaintiff, hence the innocent party as it is termed, in the two divorces which preceded her marriage to the duke. The church nevertheless frowns on church marriages for any person who has been divorced.
 What Cecil Said
 In his speech, Lord Hugh Cecil said:
 "The bed rock of the church is the indissolubility of marriage as expressed in the marriage service. An eccentric clergyman can defy the church and marry divorced per- sons according to the service, and give the blessing of the church. If we do not get freedom to enforce discipline we shall be at the mercy of any eccentric clergyman in the Church of England, and there are quite Q number of them"
