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. !
