Kingston seeks retrial in Zittrisch damage case
H A Kingston of Armstrong filed a motion Monday through attorney J W Morse asking to set aside the verdict and grant a new trial in a damage suit. Zittrisch and decedent died after a bakery truck collided with Kingston’s car near Swea City. Lewis Wilson of Algona defended the bakery owner on a cross petition amid claims the verdict was excessive and prejudiced. Separate charges of resisting an officer yielded three month sentences for Carl and Magnus Nelson of Ruthven in Emmetsburg.
