- On Friday, in the u. S. Circuit Court at
Chicago, an important decision was given BY
Judge Drummond, TO the effect that a witness
called as an expert can compel the payment OF
his fees as an expert, and that, too, before he
gives his testimony. The case in which the
decision was given was that Of Clark against
the city of Chicago, for injuries sustained By
falling into hole IN the sidewalk Dr. Beebe
was called 10 testify as an expert in medical
science. He refused to testify unless he recei we'd
fess an expert, TO the amount of SIS. Ths
Judge decided that he was right and the tees
were paid.
