Came Into-Court Next Day and Apnounced a Change of Opinion. Queer Complications in a Damage Suit Tried in a Los Anzeles Court. LOS ANGELES, Car, March 25.—An unheard of circumstance in the Superior Court here to-day produced a genuine sen- sation. The flurry among the attorneys for the plaintiff in an action for heavy damages was <sused by a juror changing bis mind -after agreeing upon a verdict in favor of said plaintiff and then voting in open court against his own decree and that of his associates. A bare “quorum” bad agreed upon the verdict, and there- fore the action of Juror Milsap in voting “‘no” on the call of his name to sustain the verdict kills it and makes it necessary to try the case over again. The case was one brought aainst the Los Angeles Traction Street Railway Com- pany by the guardian of =n incompetent, Frank Abrahams. The verdict was formu- iated and sealed yesterday. Tais morn- ing, when the jury was asked if it bad | agreed upon a’ verdict, Foreman Butler said it bad and read the followin, *We, the jury i the &bove-entitled ac- tion, find for the piaintiff, and fix dam- ages in the sum of $4250.” The sensation of the aay soon followed. Juror- Miisap, when his nsme was called in tne poll, promptly voted “no” along with three others who had been sgainst the findings all along. The court an- | nounced that he wonld have an investiga- | tion, and the case may go before the Grand Jury. The only explanation of | Milsap’s strange conduct is that he was anxious to go to his supper last night and voted with the majority to hasten an ad- journment, LSRN | GENERAL CLARKSON’S RECEPTION.
