Judgment as to defendant Nye reversed on the facts and a new trial granted, with costs to said appellant to abide the event; judgment as to Ackerly against Biddlecome reversed on the facts and a new trial granted, with costs to said appellant to abide the event, unless the plaintiff Ackerly shall, within ten days, stipulate to reduce the verdict to the sum of $6,000 as of the date of the rendition thereof, in which event the judgment is modified accordingly, and as so modified is affirmed, without costs of this appeal to either party; judgment as to Appleton against Biddlecome affirmed, with costs.
