First Jury Hearing Sees Snags In Unfurnished New Box
The first jury trial since the new jury box was built faced snags. Judge Alton H. Combs noted the seats were old hard wood from the old high school and uncomfortable. A tall juror struggled with his seat and a woman tore her dress on a rough spot. The judge endured a long morning and lunch, missing part of Governor Lausche’s speech. The civil case is Sam Hazley v. Ralph Geisler for $2000 damages from an auto collision on January 5 with claims of medical bills and lost earnings. Hazley is represented by I A Casper. Geisler by Andrew Cherney.
