Superior Court of Rhode Island · Decided October 15, 1924 · Capotosto
1 R.I. Dec. 26

Counsel

For Plaintiff: A. S. & A. P. Johnson., For Defendants: B W. Grim.

Hall & Cole, Inc. v. De Blasi & Gelardi Co.

Opinion of the Court

CAPOTOSTO, J.

I can not sustain the jury’s verdict for the defendant. The defendant’s case is based in part, at least, upon testimony which, in my opinion, is wilfully distorted or intentionally false. Whatever the real merits of the issue between the parties may be, the plaintiff in this trial has been the victim of a successful attempt at evasion and deception.

Motion, for new trial granted.
