OUT OF THE ORDINARY
VERDICT FOR DEFENDANT Or
DERED AFTER JURY DISAGREED.

A jury which had been locked up all last
night considering verdict appeared In
Circuit Court No 1 to-day and announced
its inability to reach an agreement. The
twelve men were informed by the court
that the plaintiff could recover only in one
view of the situation. and that as there
was evidence adduced at the trial to
substantiate that view. should a verdict for
the plaintiff be returned II would have to
be set aside. The court thereupon directed
the jury to find in favor of the defendant.
The case which had the unusual finale
was that of Paul ID. Barstow boy about
fourteen years of age, and his father.
Francis Il. Barstow. against the Capital
Traction Company to recover damages in
the aggregate sum of $4,000 for personal
injuries to Paul d. Barstow. alleged to have
been received through negligence of the de-
PENDANT company. AS the result of the ac-
cident young Barstow had his left leg am
putated below the knee. II was charged
by the plaintiffs that the boy was called
from his play on the roadside by the con-
ductor of passing car and that In response
to the call he ran close to the car, losing
his balance and falling under the wheels.
He sued for $4,000 and his father for
$3.50. The hearing was begun last Thurs
day, and the case went to the jury yes
terday morning

Statement by Court.

The court IN directing the verdict for the
defendant said:
The court was very DESTROYS that the
jury might determine this question of fact,
if it were able to do SO; but inasmuch as
you are not able to agree, and all indicate
your judgment to be So L think 1t is not
worth while to require that you deliberate
further. But in view of the nature of the
evidence. and in view OF the legal propo-
sitfons which were submitted to you in the
charge. to the effect that there was no
theory of this case whereunder the plaintiff
could recover. save one, and that was that
the boy had approached the place of danger
with the knowledge of the motorman, and
that the motorman. having knowledge that
he was in danger, was called upon by the
circumstances to stop the car, and failed to
do it. the court is of the opinion that there
is evidence sufficient to warrant find
ing by the jury that the motorman did
know that this boy in place of
danger; in fact. he had no knowledge of
his proximity to the car until the accident
had happened. Therefore, the situation
solves itself into this, whether or not, when
the court is called upon to afford the sane
ton of judicial approval to a verdict
dered In favor of the plaintiff. in case the
jury did render that verdict, the court
would be required to say as a matter of law
that there was no evidence to justify such
verdict and, therefore. the court now
resolves the case into that question of law,
instructing you as matter of law that
there is evidence to justify verdict in
favor of the plaintiff, and that, therefore
you ought under the law to render a verdict
in favor of the defendant.
If there was any probability that either
party would be able to bring. on another
trial, more evidence than they have brought
now, | would simply discharge you and per-
NIT a retrial but 1t is perfectly patent
that both sides have produced all the evil
dence that is susceptible of being produced
and, therefore, the result of another trial
would have to be the same as this, on the
same evidence"
The clerk then took the formal verdict
for the defendant. and counsel for the
plaintiff noted an exception to the action of
the court In directing a verdict after the
case had been submitted to the jury. 1t
was lntlmated that the matter would be
taken to the court of appeals
Attorneys Wilton J. Lambert f. J. Hogan
and r. ID. Brady represented the plaintiff
ana Attorneys r. Ross Perry & Son and
u ihoInas Dunlop appeared for the rail-
