## Opinion text

Mr. Justice Wilkin: I dissent. The verdict and judgment in this case is for $10,000. The unprofessional conduct of counsel for the plaintiff prevented an orderly, fair and impartial trial, and for that reason the verdict of the jury should have been set aside and a new trial granted.
Mr. Chief Justice Cartwright concurs in the dissent of Wilkin, J.
