New Trial Requested in Wiseman Case at Athens Court
On Friday March 4 1938 attorneys for the defense filed a motion for a new trial in the Wiseman versus Mulligan suit. Wiseman had sought 50000 for alienation of his wife and alleged criminal conversation and was awarded 1000 by an Athens County Common Pleas Court jury Tuesday night. The motion argues errors in directing a verdict, jury instructions, additional verdict forms after six hours deliberation, and interference with deliberations. Judge Rowland has not ruled. Court costs totaling 219 will be charged to Mulligan.
