Supreme Court Decision in Case OIL
Wright vs. Union Pacific
LOWER COURT IS REVERSED
And New Trial OF the Cause Ordered
Grounds Upon which Re
ycrsaI II Made.

The supreme court handed down an
opinion today In the case Of Willard A.
Wright VS. the Union Pacific Railroad
Company appellant reversing the
cause and remandng the same to the
court below with directions TO grant
"a new trial
This action was begun In the Sec
end district court az ogden TO recover
$1,000 damages from the appellant, TOT
AN injury which the respondent
Wright. alleged he sustained While ia
the railroad companys employ. Nnile
engaged, with others, In transferring
steel rails from one car % another IN
the Union Pacific yards az the Junction
city on January H. 1899.
The case was tried before Judge
kolapp and a jury In July, lSge' ana
six Of the eight jurors found Tor pam
TOM In the sum Of $6,242.50
The attorneys for appellant moved
FOR a new trial upon the following
grounds. That the verdict was Oh
tanned by rtsorting 20 chance, that tie
verdict was excessive.
Judge Rolapp ordered that a new
trial Doe granted unless within ten days
the plaintiff reduced The verdict to SA-
900. The paintin. by his attorneys, re-
mtted all OF the verdict above $4,000
and reduced the judgment Go that sum.
From this latter Judgment the defend
ont appealed.
When the motion for new trial was
made ufndavits were introduced show
ing that two OF the eight Jurors were
opposed To finding any verdict what
ever for the plaintiff The other six
agreed that the plaintiff should be
awarded damages, but could not agree
upon the amount. 10 was then pro-
posed that each one should write on
q slip Of paper the amount he favored
assessing as damages, and that an
such amounts should be added together
and divided by six, the number OF the
agreeing Jurors. This suggestion, IL
appears, was agreed To ana carried Gus.
one Of the dissenting jurors preserved
the Sins and maze them a part of his
afiIdayit. The respective amounts writ
ten on each slip WAS as follows. $3.50.
$4,000 $1,000. 1855. 1000 and 5000.
The total OF these amounts is S3I45j,
which divided by six. lives a quOuent
OF SG.2i2JO. the amount named in the
verdict
Five Of the six jurors made affidavit
avcrring that while Che above agree
ment was made and carried out. no
agreement was made that the quotient
should be the measure of WriEht's
damages. The other three, one OF whom
was a. ]. Proudnt who signed and re-
turned the verdict with the others
We're positive that Il was agreed and
understood that the amount so arrived
az should be the damages.
Justice Baskin who wrote the opin-
ion. after reviewing the ahdavits on
both sides, holds that the verdict was
not the result Of the deliberate and UNI
trammeled Judgment and action OF the
jury, but was determined by the chance
result Of the methods resorted %. A
reversal and new trial Is accordingly,
ordered.
The opinion is Concurred In by Chief
Justice Bartch and Justice Miner.
