Commissioner of Public Charities v. Watson
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York · Decided January 15, 1922
200 A.D. 876
Commissioner of Public Charities v. Watson

Opinion of the Court

While we are slow to interfere with the findings of the trial court in this class of cases, the date of the alleged intercourse, as testified to by the complainant, is squarely contradicted by the evidence of the disinterested witness Redman, and we, therefore, think that in the interests of justice we should order a new trial, where the matter may be more fully investigated. The order is reversed and a new trial ordered. Blackmar, P. J., Rich, Kelly, Kelby and Young, JJ., concur.
