Defense Counsel Sydney johnson

This action came after Judge

than r. Margold, who presided over
the four-day trial last December
had improperly instructed the jury.
Victim Was Girl, 16.

in February, 1947, is lust as dead
because of the bus drivers negli-
gence as if she had been pre-

Judge Nelson commended Mr.
Johnson's move to appeal the ver-
dict, emphasizing that the appellate

The lawyer contended that in
cases where drivers of two or more
cars may be found negligent in a
fatal traffic accident none can be
convicted of negligent homicide.
Judge Nelson held that any driver
involved in the traffic death may be
convicted.
