The case of William Culver VS.. the S.
ii. Il + II +. Co., although three times
tried in the circuit court and once heard
in the supreme court, is still hanging
fire At each Of the three trials the
plaintiff WAS awarded damages, $4,000
at the first trial. $4,000 at the second
and $4,000 at the third, and now the
defendant company is asking the court
TO set aside the last verdict and order a
fourth trial Siyty-nine reasons are
specifically alleged as cause for retrial
of the cause, the motion concluding that
"for the reasons set forth, and for sun
dry other reasons the defendant has
not had fair and impartial trial.
Forty four of the reasons set forth re-
late to alleged errors on the part of the
court. Other matters charged are that
the verdict was against the law and the
evidence that the verdict was excessive,
that it was the result of passion and pre-
judice. of sympathy for the plaintiff and
was secured by fabricated and perjured
testimony, because the special findings
of the Jury exonerate the defendant COM
pany from the charge of negligence, be-
cause OF improper conduct on the part
of the jury and because OF improper re-
marks on the case made by the proprie-
tress of certain boarding house in pre-
sence of the jury. The motion is sup
ported by several aflidavits, one made by
VI. duBuu CCitdih
testimony of Viola Sunny and William
Baldwin as to he Vaughn having offer
ed them large sums of money to leave
Paw Paw, so as not to testify in the case
Also an affidavit of Albert Baldwin stat
ing that he was a detective employed by
the defendant to watch that no outside
influence was brought to bear on the
jury. Bald win swears to certain improp
er conversations in presence of as well
as by number OF the jurors. Fred NJ.
Steele also swears to hearing two of the
Jurors Mr.. Tabor and William Baldwin
discussing the case in the rotunda of the
court house. Several other afiidavits
were filed in support of the motion,
which was argued last Monday and taken
under advisement. On account Of not
: being legally authenticated, the affida-
Wits of Vaughn, Baldwin and Steele,
which were taken in Chicago, being OBJ
jected to by plaintiffs counsel, were not
permitted to he read on the hearing.
