SETS ASIDE PLAINTIFFS
 VERDICT IN TUCkIE SUIT

Judge Donald T. Warner of the su- perior court handed down a decision Friday setting aside the verdict for the plaintiff which the ury gave in the suit of John A. Moran, adminisS trator against George H. Bradford, administrator of the estate of George H. Pratt, in which the Tuckie es- tate was trying to secure possession of the so-cailed Newmarket hotel prop erty at 7I5 Boswell avenue.
 The case was tried before Judge Warner in the superior court here with Brown & James appearing for the plaintiff and Brown and Perkins appearing for the defendant. The jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff on No- uember 19, which Judge Warner now sets aside.
 In his memorandum of decision Judge Warner sai:
 This case presents some unusual and rather Vexing features to be submitted to and passed upon by a jury.
 The trial commenced upon the is sues joined wherein plaintiff claims damages simply, and during the progress of the trial the plaintiff twice amended his complaint and in each instance asked for equita ble re- lief, and defendant put in a second uz- fense, claiming in effect an equitable mortgage, and asking for foreclosure thereof and other equitable relief, and later denurred to the plaintiff,s prayer for relief, because the heirs at law of defendants intestate estate were not made parties defendant which the court overruled, to enable the trial to proceed. And when the evidence was all in defendant with drew his second defense, wherein he himself had asked for equitable reiieI
 The court is unable to render a money judgment for damages, because of the failure of the jury to find and determine what if any was the value ofsth property conveyed Aug. IS, 1914, by plaintiffs intestate to defendants intestate in excess of all incum- brances then existing thereon, as de- manded by plaintiff in his complaint: and I am now satisfied that the court cannot grant the equitable relief prayer for, declaring said conveyance void and involving the reconveyance of said property. because the heirs of the defendants intestate are not parties to said action.
 These req sons of themselves would therefore constrain the court to grant the motion to set aside the verdict.
 Independent of these reasons, more over, in view of the absence of any evidence. Of dureSs by force or threats, l especially when it appears by the an swer to certain written interroga- tories propounded to the jury, that the plaintiffs intestate, John Tuckie. 1 had mental capacity to make the said | conveyance and that said conveyance was not given with the intention to l defraud Tuckie's other creditors, l l am convinced that the jury made some | mistake in their application of the l legal principles upon which they were ] instructed; or were influenced by prejudice or partiality; and, therefore for all of the foregoing reasons, grant the motion to set aside the yer dict.

Snowfall Explained.

Snow is that form of precipitation of water-vapor condensed from the atmosphere which reaches the ground in frozen and crystalline condition. Snow thus occurs when the process ol condensation and fall take place. at temperature below B degrees Fahr. The crystals. which vary greatly in form, belong to the hexagonai sys- tenn. They are formed upon nucleus in the same way as a raindFep, and sometimes reach the. ground singly, but more commonly in coherent mass es or flakes.
 If in it's passage from the upper atmosphere snow passes through a temperature above 32 degrees F'afr. It reaches the ground as sIeet or rain, according. to the degree of heat en- countered. Thus, after a fall of rain over Iowlands, the higher parts of mountains in the vicinity may be seen .to have received the fall as snow Meteorological observers have ob- tained photographs of the crystals al seen through the compound micro scope.
