HEART BALM SUIT
BAN HELD LEGAL
Supreme Court of Indiana Voids
Penalty for Filing,
However.
BY the Associate Press.

BY the Associated Press.
INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 26.- The
State Supreme Court yesterday upheld
the Legislatures ban on heart balm
lawsuits, but outlawed that section OF
the statute which provides heavy
penalties for filing such actions.
The Indiana law attracted Nation
wide attention in 1885 when it was
sponsored in the General Assembly by
Representative Roberta West Nichol-
son, only woman House member, and
had a stormy career before it finally
was accepted by the Senate.
The Supreme Court ruling was on a
test case from Marion County, where
a Superior Court had denied Clarence
Pennington $4,000 damages for the
alleged alienation of his wife's affec-
tions by Harry and Annabelle Stewart
his parents-in-law.
Judge James P. Hughes said in his
opinion he believed there was little
question but that the Legislature could
enact such laws covering public policy
He devoted considerable space. how
ever. to that section Of the statute
which provides sl0o to $1,000 fines and
one-year to flve-year terms for attor-
neys and their clients who file such
suits.
Judge Hughes pointed out any in
dividual whose interests are directly
affected by any statute has right to
test its validity in the courts. The fix
ing of fines and penalties for filing
suits deprives an individual of an in
herent right, he asserted.
