(Bud) Fisher, comic atrip artist and turfman, won a point today in the legal tilt with his wife, the former Countess Beaumont. Justice Tierney or dered Mrs. Fisher's separation ac tion, which was decided in her favor by default, returned to the trial calendar. - Justice Tierney granted Mrs. Fisher a separation on February 8, awarding her annual alimony of 126,000. The hearing was held over the protest of counsel .for Fisher, who said his client was on the way to Europe to. get wit nesses who could refute the wife's charges of cruelty and abandon ment. At that time counsel for Mrs. Fisher suggested ironically that Fisher was going abroad probably tq get Mutt and Jeff, the charac ters of his comic strip, to testify for him. After hearing Mrs. Fisher's story of her life with Fisher, Jus tice Tierney said from the bench that the cartoonist was apparently the kind of man who drew pictures to amuse children during the day and then went home and beat his wife at night. He also charac terized Fisher's drawings as puerile and senseless. VI don't see how anyone can pay money for that nonsense, he ejaculated, when told that Fisher made 1210,000 yearly from his comics. Today, however,, the justice in ordering the case opened and set ting it for retrial Mareh 28 said that when he granted the separa tion he was of the -opinion that Fisher's "sudden and unannounced departure" for Europe was to es cape the jurisdiction of the court. The Fishers were- married aboard the liner Leviathan, Oc tober 24, 19 2 5. and in April of 192 ft his wife left for France, say ing' she would "never, never re turn" to him.
