Norwich bulletin., 1909-04-16

At the resumption of the trial of
the case of Gardner VS.. Downing e.
Co., in the court of common pleas here
on Thursday morning there was
long conference before the jury was
called in and Attorney Thayer for the
defendant made a motion that the case
be dismissed and new trial ordered,
because of the alleged fact that Jury
man Russell w. Fitch had talked with
James Mccoy. a witness from Lisbon,
regarding the case. The witness was
called by Attorney Thayer, and he
stated that after court adjourned on
Wednesday as he was going down Bath
street Juryman Fitch, whom he had
known for 25 years. caught up with
him and said: THAT fellow don't con-
slider lumber very valuable in your
country" to which Mr.. Mccoy said his
only reply was, 1T seems So" Mr..
Mccoy is witness for the Downings
Attorney Thayer quoted the law in
regard to such alleged action, stat
ing that the fine is 800, and insisted
upon a new trial. Attorney Perkins
showed by supreme court rulings that
such a slight thing did not carry with
1t any bias or opinion, which is nee
essary for a mistrial. Attorney Thay-
err claimed the statement may mean
an appeal, but Judge Waller thought
that while there might have been a
disregard of his oath by the juryman
II was purely technical and the
grounds insufficient for a new trial.
He denied the motion, to which At
torney Thayer asked an exception.
The Jury was then called in at Ills
and it was found that F. S. Armstrong
of Franklin was not present and Dep
uty Sheriff Draper was hustled out to
locate him. 1t was found that there
was trouble on the Central Vermont
