Sensation in Carrier Suit Over Testimony at Trial
In a federal case over the Ley Post Office site Judge Lewis ordered attorney W. McCreery of Greeley to retire if he could not accept witness statements. C. Herbert, VP of the Greeley National Bank, testified that Currier's property, valued at 50 000, was worth about 27 000, as government figures and expert witnesses placed the range between 25 600 and 30 000. The jury, drawn from the mining district, began deliberations after fifteen witnesses testified, with a likely verdict near 25 000 to 40 000 depending on the median of estimates.
