Jury Awards $4,000
Damages to Johnson
In Heart Balm Suit
COURTROOM PACKED
AS FAMILY AFFAIR is
AIRED IN COURT

A $4,000 verdict was returned
in favor of Charles c. Johnson OF
Springfield Wednesday afternoon
by a district court jury after con-
sideration of three days of testi-
mony concerning the family diff
culties of johnson, his deceased
wife Emma and her father, c. w.
Schultz of Shutdown, defendant
in the $4,000 alienation of affec-
tions suit which attracted county,
wide interest.
The courtroom was packed
throughout the trial which open
ed Thursday, adjourned that eve
ming until Monday and continued
through Tuesday. The attorneys,
John E. Regain of Mankato for
the plaintiff and Albert Pfaender
of New Ulm for the defense,
climaxed the case with impas-
stoned pleas to the jury Wednes-
day morning.
r. D. Butler of Lamberton,
jury foreman, handed in the de-
cision at 2:40 p. m. after the
jurors, six men and six women,
had been out three hours and ten
minutes. The jurors retired at
1880 a. m. and returned a few
minutes later for instructions as
to whether they could specify that
some of the money awarded the
plaintiff be put in trust fund for
the Johnson children. Judge A.
B. Gislason told them the chill
dren were not party to the ac-
ton and the proposal could not
be allowed. It is understood the
jury had already balloted unan-
imously to return verdict for
the plaintiff.
Centers On Trips
The plaintiffs case conferred
around trips to the Twin Cities
made by Schultz, Mrs. Irene
Krumweide, Arthur KEEPER and
Mrs. johnson and drinking par
ties in cafes at Springfield and
Lamberton which it was claimed
were part of Schultz effort to
separate his daughter from her
husband. The defense was based
on testimony that Johnson was
cruel to his wife, that they were
estranged prior to the associa-
tons in question and that Schultz
was interested only in his daugh-
ter's welfare.
Schultz was castigated as a
"vulture" in Regan's singing
summation to the jury in which
he placed full blame for the
broken home on Schultz should
ers although admitting johnson
is looking for revenge possibly
=. He wants to make him pay
because by so doing he'll save
some other poor SOUL"
Pfaender commended "This case
should have been lowered into
the grave with the casket of EN-
ma Johnson" He stated that
Johnson blindly threw his wife
and best friend together over a
period of several years and then
tried to win her back by violence.
Calling it a "voice from the
grave" he read of cruelties by
her husband from the divorce
complaint signed by Mrs. john
son month before her DEATH.
During court sessions Thurs
day, Monday and Tuesday a pro-
cession of witnesses, many Of
them relatives of parties to the.
action, took the stand.
In the Tuesday afternoon ses--
sion Schultz told of helping john
son financially. He was closely
cross-examined concerning why
he didn't take his daughter to his
home when she left her husband,
rather than to a house in Sleepy
Eye.
