PER CURIAM.
Upon further consideration of the record we have concluded that it was prejudicial error for the court to refuse to consider the affidavits of the jurors on motion for a new trial insofar as they disclosed the receipt by the jurors of information through the bailiff, apparently under the direction of the court, which information prevented a decision of the issues as to all the plaintiffs other than Pearl Anna Kollert.
The opinion is modified by striking out the first sentence of the final paragraph and substituting the following: "The judgment in favor of defendants and against plaintiffs Gertrude C. Abrahamson, Mary Cleveland, and Steven Kollert is reversed."
The petition for rehearing is denied.
