Juror Forces Mistrial
In 2 Suits by Marine;
Settlement Now Sepn
A juror's admission of possible
prejudice resulted today in A mis
trial being declared in District
Court on two suits in which a
much-decorated Marine Corps cap
tain and his wife seek damages
against a man they accused of
entering their former home without
invitation.
There then developed the possi-1
bility that the two suits may now
be settled out of court without'
again going to trial, according to
counsel.
The two suits had been combined
for trial which began yesterday.
Both Capt. Joseph J. Reardon, U. S.
M. C., and Mrs. Reardon charged
Walter K. Handy. jr„ an analyst
in the Treasury Department, with
entering their former home in the
900 block of South Buchanan street,
Arlington, which he had rented to
them in behalf of his father-in-law.
Total of $40,000 Asked.
In addition, Capt. Reardon also
sought $20,000 damages for alleged
libel contained in a letter said to
i have been written by Mr. Handy
to Maj. Gen. A. A. Vandegrift,
former commandant of the Marine
i Corps. The two suits sought a total
of $40,000 damages.
Justice Henry A. Schweinhaut de
clared a mistrial after having been
informed by the juror that he might
not be able to render a verdict ob
jectively and that he was afraid he
already nad formed an opinion, j
Justice Schweinhaut discharged the
jury, leaving the case open, tech
nically, for a new trial. Counsel I
then indicated, however, that the |
j two suits may be settled out of court.
Capt. and Mrs. Reardon now live i
in Parkfairfax, Alexandria. Va.
Testifying yesterday, Mrs. Rear
don said Mr. Handy walked into her
•home in November and December/
1946 On the second occasion, he
insisted she go down a flight of I
stairs so he could show her how to!
operate the furnace, although she|
was pregnant at the time, she said. [
Three Incidents Charged.
Capt. Reardon testified Mr. Handy
i had entered the home on three oc
i casions. Twice, the officer said. Mr.
Handy went, to Mrs. Reardon's bed
room door while she was dressing, j
Capt. Reardon said he wasj
wounded on Corregidor and was in
the Bataan death march. He was
awarded the Silver and Bronze!
I stars and Presidential Army and j
Navy citations.
Capt. and Mrs. Reardon are rep-i
; resented by Attorney John Paulj
i Jones. Mr. Handy, who lives in An- j
jnapolis, Md., is represented by At
j torneys Leslie C. Garnett and Sam
! uel F Beach.

hole and went over par on the sec- j
ond and 18th.
Favorites Start Late.
Most of the favorites were late1
j starters, including Lloyd Mangrum. !■
Bobby Locke. Ben Hogan, Jimmy j I
Demaret and Worsham.
The four-day chase officially!
opened the PGA's summer tour, but
there was nothing summery about i
the 50-degree temperature that
: greeted the early starters. There
was hurried borrowing of sweaters,
and heavy shirts among the visitors
for the first of the daily 18-hole1
rounds.
The 6,800-yard course, soaked by
rains that forced a postponement of
yesterday's scheduled clinic until 5
p.m. Saturday, was a much tougher,
-layout than last year. Four new
greens, constructed last year under
the impression this event would be
held in June, were opened for the
first time.
Summer Rules in Force.
Summer rules were in force, which
means the ball could not be touched
from tee to green. Players w'ere per
mitted to repair ball marks on the
green and to wipe the ball. The only
exception to summer rules was that1
if a ball was buried on the new 15th!
fairway, it would be dropped without
penalty.
The PGA's new 14-club rule was!
in effect (the previous limit was 16*
and clubs were being checked as
to. excessive grooves which would
produce too much backspin. All -
players had ample warning, how
ever.
With the National Open cham
pion (Worsham*, the PGA titlist
(Jim Ferrier). the National Ama- |
teur champion <Skee Riegel), the I
defending champion and leading |
money winner (Mangrum) and last
year's top money winner 'Demaret)!
in addition to Locke and Hogan en
tered. it was foolhardy to select an
outstanding favorite.
Worsham Much Improved.
There was more than hometown!
sentiment behind those who liked j
Worsham, however, as Washington's j
National Open champion admittedly |
is playing the finest golf of his
career. He tied for fourth last year
and is a much better golfer today.
The most prominent of the iate
entries was Clayton Heafner, the
big fellow from Charlotte, who re- .!
quired 18 stitches in his left hand
when he grabbed a piece of jagged
piDe while attempting to fix a hotel
room fixture less than a month ago.
Three name players withdrew, i
England's ex-British Open Champion1
Henry Cotton, former National Ama
teur Champion Dick Chapman and
Fred Haas, New Orleans pro, were
late scratches which left the start
ing field at 119.
