that the car delivered to him was not

He sued to recover the money he nau

claimed. The firm which had SOLD the
car appealed for new trial solef!

the lawyers were summing up. After
the usual delay, the court of appears
passed an the appeal and granted a
new trial. Meanwhile, the witnesses
necessary for the proof of the PLAIN

important having gone into the army.
For years it had been the custom OF
New York judges to go out into Their
private office to smoke during the
summing up of unimportant civil cases.
No one had thought of making that q
ground for an appeal until about two
months before the trial of the auto
mobile case, at which time an appeal
had been based on that ground and
had been granted. The judge in the
automobile case hadn't read about
this other case in the newspapers and
no one had happened to mention it to
him. Therefore, he went out to smoke
as usual.
