Columbus Compress Co. v. United States Fidelity & Guaranty Co.
Opinion of the Court
Under these circumstances, we are constrained to affirm the judgment of the Circuit Court; and it is so ordered.
On Application for Rehearing.
The record before us is not sufficient to show a waiver of jury by á stipulation in writing filed with the clerk, as required by Rev. St. U. S. § 649 (U. S. Comp. St. 1901, p. 525). A recital in the judgment, “that both plaintiff and defendant announcing 'Ready for trial' and formally waiving a jury in open court,” is not such a recital as this court can assume therefrom that a jury was waived by a stipulation in writing. See Kearney v. Case, 12 Wall. 275, 20 L. Ed. 395; Hodges v. Easton, 106 U. S. 408-412, 1 Sup. Ct. 307, 27 L. Ed. 169; Bond v. Dustin, 112 U. S. 607, 5 Sup. Ct. 296, 28 L. Ed. 835. Cases that control the appellate court when the jury is waived without written stipulation will be found cited in 4 Fed. St. Ann. 451. See, also, Bond v. Dustin, supra, 112 U. S. 604, 5 Sup. Ct. 296, 28 L. Ed. 835; Dundee v. Mortgage & Trust Investment Co. v. Hughes, 124 U. S. 157-160, 8 Sup. Ct. 377, 31 L. Ed. 357.
The petition for rehearing is denied.
