'The verdict of the jury is against the overwhelming weight of the evidence,' Justice Shientag said. 'The plaintiff clearly established a deliberate libel. To allow the verdict to stand would be a travesty on justice, and I have no hesitancy in setting it aside.' Dall based his suit on an article published in the 23 Apr 1934 issue of Time. The article, described by the defense at the trial as 'an imaginative illustration,' told of the imagined 'suicide' of Dall in the White House in the presence of his former wife and Mrs. Roosevelt" | *O — [http://www.newspaperarchive.com/PdfViewerTags.aspx?img=12255275&firstvisit=true&src=search¤tResult=25 ''Frederick News-Post'', 6 May 1937, page 5], "Turns Down Verdict Against Curtis Dall : Judge Says Plaintiff Clearly Established Deliberate Libel By Time Magazine", "New York, May 5 — A Supreme Court jury returned a verdict for Time magazine in the $250,000 libel suit brought by Curtis B Dall, former son-in-law of President Roosevelt, but Justice Bernard L Shientag set the verdict aside on motion of Dall's counsel.
