THE SUNDAY ALEWATIN SUT AWARD CANCELED Federa! Judge Orders Re- trial in Bedford-Jones Case. By the Assoclated Press. CHICAGO, April 20.—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 Willlam H. Holly. < The jurist set aside the huge judg- ment a Federal jury had tendered Mrs. Helen Bedford-Jones early this month and granted & new trial to Mrs, Mary Bernardin Bedford-Jones, present mate of the widely known author. The retrial was set for June 24. Judge Holly observed “there seemed STAR, WASHINGTON, 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- | oyiqe; tained his love for his first 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. Bedfo; 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- ng retry the case before me,” Judge Holly told Irwin, “ my expressed conviction.” Irwin 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- 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- D. €, APRIL 21, 1935—PART ONE. mented, “that the verdict was an effort to punish there was suffic uncontroverted evidence to justify the verdict. He said he had deliberately refrained from introducing sensational use he felt sufficient facts were present. Testimony in the trial brought out that Bedford-Jones left his first wife and three children on Chris night, 1928. He was divorced the fol- lowing year and hurried to London, where he married the former Mrs. Mary Bernardin, widow of an Evans- ville manufacturer.
