Description
MERRILL, Justice. Plaintiff McLemore sued the defendant Unions and one Michael Volk, alleging that they prevented him from
working at his job at the copper plant in Decatur, by means of unlawful picketing and committing an assault and battery on
him. The jury awarded a verdict of $8,000. Defendants filed a motion for a new trial which was granted, and it is from that
ruling that this appeal is taken. In the language of the trial Judge, 'the pivotal question raised by the motion for a new trial is whether the arguments of
one of plaintiff's attorneys complained of, constituted such prejudicial error as to require a new trial'. The questioned
argument was not objected to at the time of its utterance; thus, no part of same was reported by the court reporter. The matter
was presented on the hearing of the motion for a new trial by three affidavits; one by an attorney for the defendants, one
by the plaintiff and one by one of plaintiff's attorneys, Mr. Horace C. Wilkinson.
