Third Trial of Case
Of Wunrath Against
Furniture Go. is On

A gAird trial of the personal injury
damage suit brought by William WunL
rath, a ianitor, against the Peoples Fur
niture company. was begun in district
court before Judge Begley Of Papillion,
who is presiding in court room No. In
the absence of Judge Estelle.
A former verdict for the plaintiff was
set aside recently by the district and SUI
preme courts on a showing of alleged
fraud in the evidence presented by the
defense, leading former jury to believe
he had lost an eye in his fall I'm the
furniture store. Detectives who investi-
gated Wunrath's past history in connec-
ton with an imaginary inheritance of a
big estate in Germany, learned that he
had lost the eye two years prior to the
accident in the furniture store and had
collected 1900 from an insurance COM
pany for the loss of the eye.
Counsel for the defense in examining
prospective jurors inquired whether they
connected tine case in their minds with
the fact that Wesley Gard served as d
Juror in the former trial Gard was a
Juror whose alleged friendship for the
Bromes, attorneys for Wunrath, was ex-
tensively aired in other court proceed
ings.
