Stuart could have sworn the doctors

shown in the testimony that the thr se

handled the plaintiff roughly, causing
serious injury. during an initiation into
the Woodmen lodge at Charlotte. In his
instructions to the jury the court held.
that those who took part in the initia-5

Plaintiff stated that the defendants who
injured him did SO while following the:

claim, consequently the instructions of
the court were that the jury should
consider Bee by, Dolan and Hines as

Damages at $1,000 against the woodrnen
society. but nothing against the indi-
