F. Brewster Wickersham, with him Hermas L. Weary, Boyd J. Landis, Landis & McIntosh, Metzger & Wickersham, and Weary, Hess & Humer, for appellee.

Before STERN, C.J., STEARNE, JONES, BELL, CHIDSEY and MUSMANNO, JJ.


OPINION BY MR. CHIEF JUSTICE HORACE STERN, March 14, 1955:

The record in this case follows the pattern, all too frequent, in which an inordinate amount of time is consumed in fruitless litigation involving merely procedural controversies. The accident which is the subject matter of the suit occurred more than five years ago, the action was instituted nearly four years ago, and not even an approach has thus far been made toward a trial of the case on its merits.
