 mon Pleas

Errors were found in two cases that were tried in the common pleas court here and they were sent back for new trials. The cases included that of Ada Rochon against the Preferred Accident In- surance Company of New York in which the plaintiff was awarded $1, 900 damages and Michael Pop owicz, administrator, against the Metropolitan Life Insurance Com- pany, in which Michael was al- lowed a judgment of $a4l.69.
 In the Rochon case, the girl was awarded a judgment against Fred A, and Josephine A. Spencer fol- lowing an auto collision on sunny side avenue. The Preferred Acci- dent Insurance company held the insurance on the Spencer machine but upheld the payment Of the Judgment on the grounds that Phillip Duphiney, driver Of the Spencer machine at the time or the crash, failed to cooperate Wit' the insurance company. A demur. Ter against this defense was filed by the plaintiff and Judge Harry J. Beardsley, then presiding in the common pleas court sustained the demurrer. An appeal was taken by Attorney J. Warren Upson for the insurance company and in the d decision handed down yesterday bG the supreme court, error is found in Judge Beardsley's decision. Al torney Michael V. Blansfleld and Attorney Herman E. Engelmap appeared for the plaintiff.
 Tn the Popowicz suit. the plain tiff sued as administrator of his ,wife's estate to recover on an in surance policy issued by Metropol- itan Life Insurance Company.
