The commonwealth prevailed in two Berkshire County Superior Court actions. A tort suit by Kermit J. Gordon of Schenectady against James J. Doyle of Pittsfield ended in a directed verdict for the state. A land damage case by Mrs. Victoria P. Weight of Savoy resulted in a jury verdict for the commonwealth after a pretrial motion for directed verdict was denied. The cases involved a 1963 Windsor crash and a 1958 land taking for Route 116 relocation. The court was adjourned with a new jury pool set for Monday ahead of the Consolini-Shelman trial scheduled for Monday.
