CHRISTMAS SPIRIT
AFFECTING JURY
This i. Question Which Lawyers and
Court Officials Are Ask
Ing at This
Time.
PLAINTIFFS WINNERS
Members Of jury ali Scott at the Idea
of Santa Claus In
fiuenee How
Ever.

Is the present Jury In the district
court plaintiffs jury. or has the
Christmas spirit something to do
with its findings.
This is question which has been
bcthering judges. and lawyers ever
since three OF the four Jury cases
tried this month have resulted in ind
inss for the plaintiffs.
The first case which the jury decid-
ed was that OF eastman against the
Powder Company. and the full meas
ure OF damages, 1880. was awarded.
The second case was that Of Spring
against the Bridge Company. and
Judge Bank instructed verdict for
the defendant The following case.
that of Sterne against the Powder
Company. resulted in a verdict for
Sterne, after twenty-five hours time,
and yesterday the jury returned It's
third verdict for a plaintiff, when
$3.50 was awarded William Scherer.
1t is not uncommon to have the
juries go IN cycles, one term they
seem to return all verdicts for de-
PENDANTS and the next for the lain
tiffs. This is evidently the time for
the plaintiff to score.
It has been suggested by one of the
judges that perhaps the Christmas
spirit may have Influenced the fury to
a certain extent The spirit OF good
will and fellowship may prevail to
such an extent that the Jury cannot
help but feel some OF It.
The jurymen all scoff at the idea of
the Santa Claus spirit having anything
to do with their findings They re-
literate that they are told by the judges
that they must be governed by the
evidence and the instructions.
However, some OF the iurymen are
willing to admit that 1t does look like
j this is a plaintiffs jury. but still main
tain they are following only the course
prescribed by the law and the judge.
