MORAN, J., dissenting: In Littlefield v. Alton & So. Railroad, 96 Ill App2d 470,239 NE2d 147, this court said at 482: “. . . Under the circumstances, we cannot say that ‘the record affirmatively shows that the error was not prejudicial’ as required by Duffy v. Cortesi (supra) or as stated in Both v. Nelson, supra, that the error did not tip the scales in defendant’s favor. We conclude, therefore, that the error requires reversal of the judgment and remandment for a new trial.” In the present case I fail to see how this court can say that the record affirmatively shows that the error committed by the trial court was not prejudicial.
