Plant or Court Order
UNUSUAL ORDER FILED HERE
Plaintiff in Suit of Yesick VS.. Brass
Company Anxious to See the Ma
chine on Which He Was In
jured a Year AGO
(From Fridays Daily.l

Attorneys for Peter Yesick, a for.
mer employee of the Chicago Brass
Works, who recently brought suit for
damages in the sum of SIS, 900 for per-
sonal injuries against the company,
filed an unusual order In the Office of
the Clerk of the Circuit Court, and
the order and the incidents atten ding
its issue and use may form a very iu-
teresting story in the Circuit Court
when it conveues on next Monday
morning. The Yesick case against
the Chicago BRASS Company is sched-
uled to come up for trial at that time,
and on Wednesday the attorneys for
Yesick went to Elkhorn and appeared
before Judge Be1den and asked for an
order permitting them to go into the
plant Of the defendant company and
make au inspection of the machinery
which resulted in the injury Of the
plaintiff in the case. 1t was stated In
support of the motion that the attor-
neys had made an effort TO inspect the
plant, but that they had been denied
admission by the men IN charge of the
plant. The Court issued the order
directing the officials of the Chicago
Brass Company to permit the plaintiff
Peter Yesick, his attorneys, Calvin
Stewart and Wallace Ingalls,, and one
of his witnesses, Joseph Grenier, to
enter the plant and make an inspec-
ton of such portions of the plant as
might have bearing on the case in
court.
Armed with this order the attorneys
and Yesick went to the plant but they
failed TO gain admission. Even after
the order had been read to the man
ayers of the company they stated
that they were unwilling to have the
men enter the plant until after they
had consulted with their attorneys,
Harper & McMynn, of Milwaukee.
The attorneys were summoned by
telephone and it is said that the
managers were advised to permit no
inspection of the plant save when the
Milwaukee attorneys could be present.
A copy of the order of the court was
read to the attorneys over the phone.
bat after this had been done they did
not chang ~ rice to their clients,
and care-.A4y Sc wing the notice on
the managers of the plant the Yesick
party left the Brass Works office and
the matter is now in the hands of the
court.
The order as issued is not a COM
mon one in cases in Kenosha county it
being the second of the kind to be
issued in the last few years. This is
the first time that a defendant has
refused to allow attorneys and plain
tiffs to enter place on the order of
the court.
Some of the attorneys claim thae
the refusal on the part of the man
ayers of the plant and their attorneys
is violation of an order of the Court
and that the men could be cited for
contempt. For this reason the future
developments in the case will De
watched with great interest.
The case is on the call for trial on
next Monday, but it is possible that
the disposal of criminal cases will take
up SO much of the day that the civil
actions will not be called for trial
Yesick alleges that he was permanent
ly injured while employed in the
Chicago Brass Works, and he is de-
handing damages in the sum of $751;
600. The case was originally started
in the United States Court, but later
brought to the Circuit Court for this
county.
