damage SUIT against the city. arising
out Of change of grade in front of
her property Mt $50 Third avenue in the
latter part Of 1907, on the grounds
that the verdict for SS9sl5, returned
by jury in Judge Ritchie IS division
of the Third district court, was a
chance verdict
Mrs. Coalter alleged that the street
grade was lowered for width of SIX
feet and a depth of four feet along the
entire street front Of her property,
impairing cgrcss and ingress and re
ducing the value of the property for
residence purposes, and asked for $4,000
damages,
After listening TO testimony for al
most two days, the jurors got the case
Monday noon. They wrcstled with the
evidence for four hours, six favoring
verdict for the plaintiff and the re
naming two holding out for verdict
in favor of the city, Then one of the
previous similar jury experience, sug
gestcd, 1T is said, that each juror sci
down on piece of paper the amount
of damages he thought Mrs. Coaltcr
ought 10 receive. The suggestion was
followed. the amounts were added to-
getbcr and the aggregate divided by
eight, the number Of jurors, it is al
legged The quotient was approx
mately $500 and the Jurors decided TO
make it an even $500. This they re-
ported to the court as their verdict.
The court then told them to 90 back
and fix the amount of interest due the
plaintiff. Interest in tho amount of
S9S.15 was determined on, raising the
verdict TO the total Of $S9s.l5.

wards set up q howl against thc ver-
dict on the grounds that he had not
been given a chance TO vote. The howl
reached the city attorneys Office.
which investigated and learned that
The disgruntled iuryman is willing to
make affidavit to his allegations, The
