Frey, ypace hors owner and sportsman, The case was given to the jury in and sealed verdict was returned late I'riday night, The verdict was read when court convened this morning. | The case was trled before Supremc) Court Justice Faber. Mrs. Frey sued for $100,000, trial lasted almost a week. Bennett and ¥ sat in the =~surt room as Mrs. Frey, on the witness | stand, accused the actress of steal- | ing the aftections of her husband. Wilda Bennett made her biggest hit perhaps in “Apple Blossoms.” She fs of the demure type and is considered to be good looking. Miss Bennett came Into the court room on the arm of Frey a few min- utes before the verdict was opensd and Mrs. Irey entered just as the verdict was being read. Willlam J. I'allon, counsel for Mjss Dennett, immediately announc- od that he would appeal. His mo- tion to set aside the verdict as being contrary to the welght ot evidence was denfed. Fallon then asked pers mission to argue a similar motion next Wednesday which Justice Fab- er granted. Miss Bennett smiled when the ver- dict was read, “Verdict or no verdict, T know 1 am all right. Of course I do not in- tend to pay it," ¥ |eald “There will be an appeal. Don't |worry about that.” Mrs. Frey said she was too happy to talk. I feel that my suffering somewhat allayed,” she {said. “The verdict shows that th |things cannot go on unchecked in | |New York." Considerable testimony was faken on the question whether Mrs. Frey's | husband Charles C. Fr: wealthy clubman and turf follower had been “pursued and won” by the actress, as charged by Mrs, I'rey or whether he had, as he testified, ceased to love his wife before he met Miss Bennett in 1923. DBreakfast parties at which Frey was said to have at- tended, clad only in purple silk pa- jamas, and entertainment by him of women in Dhis apartment, were prominent features of the testimony. | Mrs. Frey avowed that she and Iher husband lived together until |F met Miss Bennett at Syracuse, Frey testified that he had to live his wife in 1922 for Mrs. Frey referred to ise Bennett as “a Broadway doll Wk nted, and got lit." ¥rey swore that it was he who! |did the pursuing, not Miss Bennett. | Justice Faber, fn charging the jury, said that damages could be lawarded only if the jury found that |the actress had indeed nated the affections of Frey from hig wife, DINES EXPLAINS Wedding Postponed Because Denver | Clubman Had Not His Affairs in Shape.
