Wiest, J.

¶1 (dissenting). I think the verdict for $450,000 so excessive, considering the relations, conduct, temperament, and sensibilities of the parties, as to evidence misjudgment to a degree requiring an unconditional new trial.

¶2 Adequate correction demands more than a remittitur of $300,000. The judgment for $150,000 is excessive and should be reversed and a new trial granted, with costs to defendant.

Potter, J., concurred with Wiest, J.
