INHERITED CROSS EYES.
Jury Again Disagrees In Little
Riohard Johnson's Suit.

In the case of johnson VS.. North Hud-
son County Railway Company, which has
been on trial for three days, before Judge
Nevius, in the Circuit Court, the jury
again disagreed today, having been out
twenty-one hours. This time a majority
of the jurors were for the Railway Com
pany. In the first trial the jury also
disagreed.
The plaintiff in the case, Richard john
son, was little boy four years old, who,
while playing in the street in front or
his home, ran in front of one of the de-
fendant's cars and was severely injured,
the childs knee being fractured.
Mr.. Flavel MCGEE, the child's attorney,
tried to show (the child being cross-eyed)
that this condition of strabismus resulted
from the injurv, On this point there was
a veritable. battle between experts. Mr..
William D. Edwards proved, on the de-
fence, that the cross-eye of the child
was inherited, exhibiting the father and
a sister of the child to the jury, and the
test showed, beyond a doubt, that they
too were cross-eyed.
On cross-exarnination, Dr. McGill, the
plaintiffs medical expert, admitted that
the strabismus was congenital
The disagreement is another victory for
the railroad company. ~
