ALIENATION SUIT
AWARDCANCELED
Federal Judge Orders Re
trial in Bedford-Jones
Case.
, By ths Associated Press.
CHICAGO, April 30.—The $100,000
awarded the first wife of H. Bedford
Jones for the loss of her husband's
affections was wiped off the books to
day by Federal Judge William H.
Holly.
The jurist set aside the huge judg
ment a Federal jury had tendered
Mrs. Helen Bedford-Jones early this
month and granted a new trial to
Mrs. Mary Bemardln Bedford-Jones,
present mate of the widely known
author. The retrial was set for
June 34.
Judge Holly observed “there seemed
to be little affection to alienate” and
opined the verdict was “against the
manifest weight of evidence.”
The first observation Jibed with the
arguments advanced by the handsome
writer and his second spouse during
the recent trial. Bedford-Jones main
tained his love for his flrst wife had
been virtually nil. The defendant
claimed the plaintiff’s nagging had
driven the author from his Evansville,
Ind„ home and denied she had done
anything to encourage his flight.
None of the principals was present
for the hearing on the motion for a
new trial, but the first Mrs. Bedford
Jones’ attorney, Royal Irwin, Indi
cated the battle would be carried on.
He stated:
“I will win this case as often as
It comes before a Jury.”
“I wouldn't blame you for not want
ing to retry the case before me.”
Judge Holly told Irwin, “in view of
my expressed conviction.”
Irwin agreed It would be best to
retry the alienation of affections suit
before another Judge.
John B. Black, counsel for Mrs.
Bedford-Jones No. 1, contended the
$100,000 award—half the amount
sought—was "excessive and uncon
scionable.” He argued it was due in
part to Irwin's statements concerning
the wealth of the defendant.
“It seems to me,” the Judge com
merited, "that the verdict was an effort
on the part of the Jury to punish
Bedford-Jones for alleged mistreat
ment of his first wife.”
Irwin insisted there was sufficient
uncontroverted evidence to Justify the
verdict. He said he had deliberately
refrained from introducing sensational
evidence because he felt sufficient
facts were present.
Testimony In the trial brought out
that Bedford-Jones left his first wife
and three children on Christmas
night, 1028. He was divorced the fol
lowing year and hurried to London,
where he married the former Mr*.
Mary Bernard In, widow of an Evans
ville manufacturer. !
