In later years, as the social

He urged the jurors to "use

due Mr.. Reynolds for his prin-
cipal claims of injury.
"NOt Injured GraveIy."
In effect, the jury, which had
been celebrating since noon yes

The $175.000 was awarded as
punitive damages, which the
Judge had explained took in "act-

was designed to prevent repeti-

a warning to others,
For Mr.. Pegler it marked the
end of a claim that he has never

Previous libel cases have been
settled out of court, with Mr..
Pegler claiming he has never

Jury Finds PegIer
LibeIed Reynolds
To Tune Of $4,000
BY the Assoeiossd Press

thor Quentin Reynolds today
won a tremendous cash award
and token moral victory in a
Federal libel action against news
paper columnist Westbrook
Pegier.
An award of $175,000 levied
against Mr.. Pegler. the Hearst
Corp. and Hearst Consolidated
Publications, Inc, was believed
to be one of the largest, if not
the largest, libel award ever
made in United States court.
But the jury also awarded Mr..
Reynolds only 81 to compensate
him for loss Of earnings, damage
to his reputation and mental
anguish suffered over the last
four years from a defamatory
Pegler column on which the
100000 suit was based.
Pegler Won't Have to Pay.
Actually, because of a pro-
tective clause in Mr.. Pegler's
contract, the Hearst interests
and not Mr.. Pegler will have to
pay the 100000 levied against
him.
Neither will he have to pay
any part of the 81 which was
allocated to all three defendants.
I'm happy about the award.
but I can't figure out how they
arrived at that dollar" Mr.. Rey-
nolds said after the weary jury
