)n 1902.
With a jury having been selected
Tuesday from a panel of eighteen,
the taking of testimony got under
way Wednesday in the fifth test
case of the year being held at the
Law College.
The case involves a civil suit for
damages arising from an accident
near Des Moines, la., in which a
seventeen year old boy was killed.
The youth, while riding a motor
cycle, was struck and killed by a
motor car driven by a salesman for
Des Moines cement firm.
Attorneys for the plaintiff, the
heirs of the boy, are Reginald Mil
ler and Dick Ricketts, while those
representing the defendants are
James Doyle and Willis R. Hecht.
Prof. Lynn Coffman is serving as
judge.
The highlight of Wednesday's
proceedings was the effort of
Ricketts to extricate himself from
a situation in which he found one
of his own witnesses, Milton Foe,
changing his testimony. Foe had
previously testified as to the dis
tance the motor car involved had
traveled after passing the crest of
a hill. Later when the question was
repeated in another form he
changed the distance by a number
of feet. After several questions by
Ricketts intended to clarify the sit
uation, all challenged by Doyle,
representing the defense, "Judge"
Coffman called a recess.
Professor Coffman's contribu
tion to the solution of the point
was, "Ford sedans jump around a
lot but not to the extent of fifteen
feet."
The jury is composed of the fol
lowing: Brown, Piper, Walker, En
teman, Wilsey, Refshange, Neu
meister, Carstesen, Travis, Bar
rett, Wade and Young. Those serv
ing as witnesses in addition to Foe,
who were called for testimony,
Wednesday, are William Darroh,
Imogene Steinmeier, Merle Kings
bury and Clarence Meyer.
Edward W. Washburn, chief
chemist of the United States bur
eau of standards at Washington
and a member of Alpha Theta
Chi when he attended the uni

ated into Chi Phi fraternity Tues
day night.
Mr. Washburn published the
first issue of the Daily Nebraskan
in 1902, the daily being established
from the weekly Nebraskan and
the Hesperion. Washburn had been
business manager of the Hesperion
and H. H. Roberts, now of Omaha,
was editor. The two continued in
charge of the Daily Nebraskan
when it was first organized.
Mr. Washburn was in Lincoln
Tuesday to address the American
Chemical socity at their annual
meet. While on the campus he was
a guest of the fraternity.
