'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"
