~~» OF MRS. HEVENOR INDIVORCE TRIAL Decides Husband’s Charges, Supported by 15 Witnesses, Were Not Proved. HER DEFENSE WAS LONE. @ a Sensational Case Ends, as Did First Suit, in Failure of Chief Complaint. ‘The unsupported word of Mrs. Grace Dimon Hevenor was accepted by @ jury in Justice Giegerich's court to-day against fhe testimony of fif- teen witnesses called by Harvey H. Hevenor, local manager of tho Louis- jana Company, to prove that Mrs. Hevenor was in the Hotel Navarre on the night of Nov. 12, 1913, with a man known to her as George Win- ters. It was Mrs, Hevonor's second victory after her husband's second attempt to divorce her. In many respects the Hevenor dl- Vorce case was the most remarkable tried in the Supreme Court in years. Mrs. Hevenor had no witnesses fo verify her alibi that she was in her apartments at No. 626 West One Hun- dred and Twelfth street when her husband and several mon swore they found her in a room with “Winters.” Mrs, Hevenor chargod a€onspiracy. The jury took the case under con- sideration at 5.30 o'clock last night and deliberated until 8 o'clock, when all agreed that Hevenor had failed to prove his charges, into two forces at once, with Juror No. 5, Jacques Ireedman, leading for the wife, and duror No. 9, Max Loew- enthal, upholding the husband's con- tention, The first ballot stood & to 4, it 2 understood, for the wife, JURY DECIDED HUSBAND'S WIT- NESSES WERE WRONG. The jurymen refused to belicve the testimony of Arnold L. Empey, Hev- enor’s friend in the Louisiana Gom- pany. Tingley, Comptroller of the Interna- tional Mercantile Marine, one of the raiders, was mistaken in his identity | of Mrs. Hevenor, inasmuch as he had geen her only once in three years, ‘They did not* believe that the little black bag and the open door of the room in the hotel were consistent with the husband's claims, When the jurymen returned to their seats to-day neither Hevenor nor the pretty defendant was in court. Frederick B. McNish, the wife's counsel, was present to re- ceive the verdict, but David M. Neu- ‘ger, the opposing counsel, was absent. His associate moved to set the verdict aside, but Justice Glege- rich denied the motion, Mrs. Hovenor was first sued for di- vores in February, 1913, George: Shirer being named as co-respondent. ‘The basia of the first sult was a raid on her apartments at No. 46 Pine. hurst avenue. produced elght witnesses, mainly chauffeurs, waiters and bellboys, who testified that they found Shirer in the apartment with Mrs, Hevenor.
