NO BALM FOR MRS. DENNY

Jury Returns Verdict in SIO,OOO Alienation of Affections Case. Laporte, November 25.—-Sylves-ter Thurman, a wealthy Chicago and Knox contractor, will not have to pay Mrs. Lloyd Denny of Warsaw SIO,OOO, or any part of it, because he hugged and kissed her and pinched her, as she alleged on the witness stand in the Laporte circuit court, in her suit against Thurman for alleged alienation of her husband’s affections. The jury spent just thirty minutes in deliberation over the case, and then returned a verdict in favor of the defendant. The Warsaw woman sued Thurman because she alleged her husband had left her when he learned of Thurman’s actions.
