Verdict Reversed In Joynes Damages Suit
Pittsburg July 21 An extraordinary judgment by Judge James R. K. MacFarlan reversed a jury verdict in a common pleas court damage suit over delays and demurrage on potatoes shipped by the Eastern Shore exchange. The jury had awarded Joynes $18,773 but the judge found Joynes failed to unload within 48 hours and caused congestion, reducing liability and favoring the railroad. The decision implies Joynes and shippers may have gluttened the market. It remains unclear if the Eastern Shore exchange would have benefited under the jury ruling.
