Warner Jr. had brought a suit against Pearl Antibus, a private investigator, whom he had hired to determine if his fiancee, Jean MacDonald, loved him for himself or was only interested in his fortune.

He further opined that, after viewing Jean MacDonald on the stand, that "she is well worth that $1500 and more."
