decision Is written by Judge Keith, Judge
Cardwell dissenting. The affirming opln-
ion reviews the case at length ana sus-
tains the lower court in every particular.
Concerning the demonstration IN the
courtroom during the trial, which counsel
for plaintiff in error claim had its lntlu-
ence on the jury, Judge Keith says the
Corporation Court seems to have done all
that it should have done to keep order.
On this point Judge Cardwell dissent
ing, says:
..Where the court has failed to eXer-
else its discreti0& with becoming Nisor
or the public has been SO violently ieX-.
cited as to ovcrawe the jury and anord
ground for the belief that justice has
not been done, it would be the duty OF
this court to set aside tho verdict.
Just here he continues lis where
differ with my brethren. They take the
view that the case before us is not such
as to demand or Justify interference on
our part. 1 take exactly the opposite
view.
