173 F.2d 221 (3d Cir. 1949)

Opinion

No. 9726.

Argued January 7, 1949.

Decided February 21, 1949.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania; Guy K. Bard, Judge.

H. Francis DeLone, of Philadelphia, Pa. (Barnes, Dechert, Price, Smith Clark, of Philadelphia, Pa., on the brief), for appellant.

Elias Magil, of Philadelphia, Pa. (Richter, Lord Farage, of Philadelphia, Pa., on the brief), for appellee.

Before BIGGS, Chief Judge, and McLAUGHLIN and KALODNER, Circuit Judges.


Consideration of the record in this case and of the briefs and oral arguments of the parties convinces us that no substantial error was committed by the trial court. Our conclusion would be otherwise had not the court below instructed the jury to give no consideration to the testimony concerning the fracture of the trochanter. Cf. Moreau v. Pennsylvania R. Co., 3 Cir., 166 F.2d 543. The court, however, adequately charged the jury on this point.

Accordingly the judgment will be affirmed.
