Novarro v. Illinois Steel Co.

Supreme Court of Illinois
Apr 17, 1935
196 N.E. 489 (Ill. 1935)

Opinion

No. 22858. Judgment reversed.

Opinion filed April 17, 1935.

APPEAL from the Circuit Court of Cook county; the Hon. ROMAN E. POSANSKI, Judge, presiding.

KNAPP, BEYE, ALLEN CUSHING, (JOSEPH L. EARLYWINE, and PAUL R. CONAGHAN, of counsel,) for appellant.

MCKENNA, HARRIS SCHNEIDER, and SOL ANDREWS, for appellee.

SAMUEL A. ETTELSON, amicus curi.


This is a companion case to Parks v. Libby-Owens-Ford Glass Co. ( ante, p. 130,) Boshuizen v. Thompson Taylor Co. ( ante, p. 160,) and Vallat v. Radium Dial Co. ( ante, p. 407,) decided at this term. The facts, although differing in detail, are in substance the same. The same constitutional questions are involved. The circuit court of Cook county rendered judgment, in accordance with a jury verdict, against appellant for damages in the sum of $20,000, and from this judgment the present appeal was taken.

Upon the authority of our holdings in the three above named cases the judgment of the circuit court was erroneous, and it is therefore reversed.

Judgment reversed.
