i | 1 t ; Seer bes ASK NEW TRIAL ON GROUND THAT JUROR FAVORED PLAINTIFF Hughes and Mann Say L. Van Hook Indebted to McCurdy For Blood Transfusion Charges of misconduct on the part of a juror were advanced in district court here Saturday as a reason for judgment notwithstanding the verdict or a new trial in the case of F. E. Mc- Curdy, Bismarck attorney, vs. E. A. Hughes and George D. Mann. The misconduct alleged was that L. Van Hook, 523 Sixth St., a juror in the case in which McCurdy obtained @ verdict for $10,000 in a libel action against Hughes and Mann, failed to disclose the fact that he had received two blood transfusions from McCurdy. McCurdy, resisting the motions to Teopen the case, admitted through his attorney that the blood transfusions had been made but asserted the event took place in 1918, not 1929. Presenting the matter to Judge R. G. McFarland in district court, E. B. Cox and Alfred Zuger attorneys for Hughes and Mann, asserted it was ob- viously impossible for a fair trial to be had in view of the fact that a member of the jury had the plain- tiff's own blood in his veins. Cox was joined with Hughes and Mann as a defendant when the case was tried. but the jury found in his favor in its verdict. Cox asserted that Van Hook's action made a “hollow mockery” of the trial which lasted six days, ending last Dec. | ABSTRACT 6 : For the Year Ending December 31, A.D. 1921 Of The Actna nee ( located at Hartford, in the Connecticut.

Judge McFarland reminded Cox of | the legal rule that, in order to jus- tify reversal of the case on that ground, it was necessary to show that the misconduct complained of was prejudicial to the defendants. Cox replied that, human nature being what it is, this followed as a matter of com- mon sense. | In his affidavit, Van Hook asserted that he answered “wholly and truly” all questions asked as to his qualifica- tions for jury duty, that he was not asked as to his relationship with Mc- Cur that he felt he could act fairly and impartially and still so believes; and that, as a juror, he acted fairly and impartially and in accordance ith the evidence and the law as given by the court.” He further as- serted that, on the first ballot after favorable to the plaintiff*and that the only question discussed was which la juror. { extent.

Because of the lapse of time he had no recollection of the matter while being examined, he said, “and he had no reason to mention the same for the reason that the same could not have influenced the said verdict {and that this could have in no way in- fluenced his verdict or his judgment. He further asserted that the infor- {mation regarding the blood transfu- sion was not withheld “questionably jor wilfully or with desire to conceal” any facts that might be material in the trial or affect his qualifications as Van Hook “further states that his feeling toward the plaintiff is the same as that toward any of the parties in the said case and that there is nothing in his relationship, on his part, with any of the other parties, that would in any way affect his qual- ifications as a juror or in any manner affect or prejudice him in the render- ing of a verdict.” McCurdy’s affidavit admitted giv- ing the blood to Van Hook but that he “did not at that time, has not since and does not now place any particu- lar stress upon that occurrence, and that he would be glad to do that un- Piles Cured After 15 Years Pauley, Lineville, Ia. suf- Piles and other — rectal I He tried many Upon the Mr. J. fered th troubles for 1 remedies but got no relief, urgent advice of a friend, he tried tite McCleary treatment and began to im- prove immediately.
