CALLS JUSTICE SHOPS
FARCE COMEDIES
East Chicago Man Defends
Position of Jurors in
Insurance Case.

THE TIMES is in receipt of the follow
ing communicable from East Chicago:
Editor TIMEs:--In your issue of Dec
oath there appeared an article under the
heading, Jury Hung In Insurance
Case" Not knowing from what
source your information came relative
to this case and in view of the fact
that the latter part of said article
seeks to place the two jurors viz: ]. 4.
Day and H. cambridge at fault be-
cause a verdict was not rendered in
favor of the defendant insurance co,
would like to explain more fully the
facts in the case.
In the first place (as the evidence
showed) this man Greenwald was not
merely agent. but was a recognized
district manager for the Midland Co..
who had previously issued his receipt
for moneys collected by him from the
complainant, Mr.. Sakacs. All pay
ments made by Mr.. Sagacs his
policy SO far as the jury could learn
entered and reciptea for by the district
manager Greenwa1d with the exception
of the $40 which did not appear in the
receipt book but which Greenwa1d ad-
mitted he got and had not returned to
| Mr. Sakacs. although the Midland had
| denied him reinstatement on his
| policy.
At time during the deliberations
| of the jury was there any motion be-
| fore them tending to the rendition of
| q verdict in favor of either the defend
ant company or the complainant.
| There was motion to determine
| whether the complainant had cause
/ for action or not, and the vote on this
| motion stood four to one that there
! did exist a cause for action. Later on
| two of these four Jurors for some I'M
/ explained reason, unles the reason be
| technical, saw fit to change their
| minds. The jurys deliberations there
/ fore were all upon this one point and
/ as the writer conscionetiously believes
/! that corporation employing agents or
! managers should be responsible for the
acts of said manager and desiring to
| be right and just in all matters in
volving his fellowmen, could not hon
! estly do otherwise in the above case.
The writer in his younger days has
| taken part in some real farce comedy
| from the playwright's viewpoint But
l must say that the average justice
| shop farce comedy fmostly farce has
| everything else backed entirely off the
boards. Yours for universal justice.

While the Judge is footing the bill
for all this elegance. he had no idea
until Christmas even when he took
possession of it, what the furnishings
were to be like. He gave the furnish

to take a look about, he switched on
the electric lights and to his amaze
