Hargrave v. Acme Tool And Tester Co‪.‬

After the second trial of the instant action and verdict rendered for plaintiff for $50,000 for personal injuries suffered while working in the crew conducting a water shut-off test of an oil well, defendants moved for judgment notwithstanding the verdict. Those motions were denied. Defendants then moved for a new trial on all grounds applicable to jury trials and those motions were granted "on the ground of the insufficiency of the evidence to justify the verdict."
