139 Conn. 317 (1952)

STATE OF CONNECTICUT v. GEORGE M. DORTCH, JR. GEORGE M. DORTCH, JR. v. STATE OF CONNECTICUT

Supreme Court of Connecticut.

Decided December 9, 1952.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Francis F. McGuire, with whom was John F. Gallagher, for the appellant (defendant in the first case and plaintiff in the second).

Robert P. Anderson, state's attorney, for the appellee (state).

BROWN, C. J., JENNINGS, BALDWIN, INGLIS and O'SULLIVAN, JS.

JENNINGS, J.

He assigns error in the denial of his motion to set aside the verdict, in the charge and in rulings made upon the trial. In the second he appeals from a judgment entered for the state on the sustaining of a demurrer to his petition for a new trial. The denial of the motion to set aside the verdict will be considered first.
