Evidence -Admissibility Of Statements Of Fact Made During Negotiation For Compromise, John E. Tracy
Evidence -Admissibility Of Statements Of Fact Made During Negotiation For Compromise, John E. Tracy
Michigan Law Review
At present, the various jurisdictions hold with comparative uniformity that while offers to settle a dispute are not admissible in evidence, statements of independent fact made during such compromise negotiation are admissible. The routes of logic by which the courts arrive at this similarity in result are marked by some fundamental differences, as will be shown later, but the result is the same under any theory. The question therefore presents itself, whether the distinction made by the courts between the admissibility of offers to compromise and statements of fact made during compromise negotiations can be justified under a system of …
Administrative Law-Operation Of Federal Statute Creating Presumption Against Suicide In Compensation Cases
Michigan Law Review
A carpenter making repairs nearby, hearing a sharp report followed by groans, found plaintiff's husband lying upon the floor. He died without recovering consciousness from a bullet wound through the breast. The pistol to which the fatal bullet was traced lay in a partly closed drawer which was spattered with blood as was the counter near by. The ejected shell lay some feet away in the position where it would be found had the pistol been discharged directly in front of deceased's breast. There were powder burns on his clothes. Contradictory evidence of deceased's mental state was adduced toward the …
Powers-Exercise Of Power By Residuary Clause In Will-Admissibility Of Evidence To Show Donee's Intent
Michigan Law Review
Testator was the donee of general powers of appointment conferred upon him by his mother's deed and will. By the ninth clause of this will he gave to two named persons "all the rest and residue of my personal property . . . to be divided equitably among the members of said two families as they may in their uncontrolled discretion decide." Held, this did not exercise the powers of appointment. Evidence was admitted to show the testator's knowledge of the nature and scope of his property and of the fact that his estate was being diminished by the …

Search And Seizure - Burden Of Proving Illegality Of Search For Purpose Of Suppressing Evidence
Michigan Law Review
Defendant was charged with unlawful possession of five mink skins during the closed season. His motion made before trial to suppress the evidence because of unlawful seizure was denied. He was convicted, and now appeals assigning the refusal to suppress the evidence as error. Held, judgment affirmed. The court said, "Upon a motion to suppress evidence because of an unlawful seizure, the burden of establishing that his rights have been transgressed is upon the party asserting such transgression." State v. Drew, 217 Wis. 216, 257 N. W. 681 (1934).

Practice And Procedure - Reservation Of Decision On Motion For Directed Verdict As Means Of Avoiding Unnecessary New Trials
Michigan Law Review
What may be done to remedy the situation if a jury brings in a verdict in favor of a party against whom a verdict should have been directed? This question becomes pertinent in view of the fact that judges, while hard pressed by counsel in the heat of trial, frequently wrongfully deny a motion for directed verdict and submit the case to the jury. One obvious remedy is the granting of a new trial by the trial judge, or by an appellate court after reversal. But this practice has proved eminently unsatisfactory, for it submits the aggrieved party to the …

Evidence-Use Of Photostatic Copies In Proving Books Of Account-Model Statute
Evidence-Use Of Photostatic Copies In Proving Books Of Account-Model Statute
Michigan Law Review
Private records, books of account, and documentary evidence in general present an evidenciary problem in litigation if one, in proving his case, must use the records and books of account of a third person outside the jurisdiction of the forum. A subpoena duces tecum is limited to the boundaries of the state of the forum. Written evidence in the hands of a third person outside the state where the litigation is being pursued can only be obtained by permission of the owner, and even if the owner does permit the transportation of records and books of account necessary to the …
Evidence - Admissibility Of Parol Evidence Showing That Contract In Writing Was Executed Only As Sham, John E. Tracy
Evidence - Admissibility Of Parol Evidence Showing That Contract In Writing Was Executed Only As Sham, John E. Tracy
Michigan Law Review
An individual is sued on a written contract or, suing on an alleged oral agreement, is confronted by a written contract which he has signed. He offers testimony that, although he executed the instrument which bears his name freely and with full knowledge of its contents, he is not to be held liable thereon because the agreement between the parties was that it should never be legally enforceable, the sole purpose of its execution having been to deceive some third person into a belief that the parties to the instrument had contracted together as in the instrument set forth.
Criminal Law And Procedure-Admissibility Of Evidence-Rule As To Determination Of Preliminary Question Of Fact
Michigan Law Review
Following his arrest for murder, the defendant was held thirty-six hours before being arraigned for the purpose of obtaining a confession. On trial the defendant objected to introduction of the confession on the ground that it was involuntary, having been induced by wrongful detention and beating by the police. Held, failure, after due request, to instruct the jury that unnecessary delay in arraignment is prohibited by law and that such delay might be considered in determining whether or not the confession was voluntary was reversible error. People v. Alex, (N. Y. 1934) 192 N. E. 289.

Evidence - Federal Practice - Competency Of Wife To Testify In Defense Of Husband In Criminal Case
Michigan Law Review
The defendant, being tried in a federal district court on an indictment for conspiracy to violate the prohibition law, offered his wife as a witness in his behalf. The district court, following what it concluded to be the established rule of the federal courts, refused to allow her to testify. The circuit court of appeals affirmed this ruling without discussing the point. Certiorari was granted by the Supreme Court, limited to the question as to what law was applicable in determining the competency of the wife. Held, that the federal courts have the power to determine for themselves the …
Practice And Procedure - Direction Of Verdict - Scintilla Rule
Practice And Procedure - Direction Of Verdict - Scintilla Rule
Michigan Law Review
In an action to recover from the defendant gas company damage to the plaintiff's building caused by a gas explosion resulting from a defective pipe, the plaintiff's only evidence to prove the defendant's duty to repair it was that the pipe was used exclusively for the conveyance of the defendant's gas, and that the meters to which the pipe was connected were owned and controlled by the defendant. The trial court, by virtue of the scintilla rule, submitted the case to the jury which rendered a verdict for the plaintiff. Held, the scintilla rule no longer prevails in Ohio, …
Equity - Admissibility Of Evidence Arising Pendente Lite
Equity - Admissibility Of Evidence Arising Pendente Lite
Michigan Law Review
In equitable actions "the right to judgment is not limited to the facts as they existed at the commencement of the action, but the relief administered is such as the nature of the case, and the facts as they exist at the close of the litigation, demand." While this quotation may express the general rule regarding the admissibility of evidence arising pendente lite, the difficulties in its application are numerous.

Evidence - Admissibility Of Blood-Group Test
Michigan Law Review
The old axiom, "blood will tell," has been given a new lease on life by the work of biochemists and hereditists in the last thirty years. At the beginning of the twentieth century a scientist, Karl Landsteiner, working on the means to make blood transfusions safe, discovered that the New Testament saying, the Almighty "hath made of one blood all nations of men," is not true. He found that human blood is divided into four groups, characterized by the possession or non-possession of certain substances in the serum and the corpuscles of the blood. If one puts a little blood …

Future Interests - Federal Estate Tax - Admissibility Of Evidence Of Barrenness Of Devisee
Michigan Law Review
In an inquiry as to the value of an executory bequest to charitable institutions, conditioned on the death of the testator's daughter without issue surviving her, was evidence that at the time of the testator's death she had been rendered incapable of bearing children admissible for the purpose of determining the amount of a deduction from the federal estate tax? Held, that such evidence was admissible. United States v. Provident Trust Co., (U. S. 1934) 54 Sup. Ct. 389.
Contracts - Liability Of The Assignee Of A Land Contract - Reformation By Extrinsic Evidence
Contracts - Liability Of The Assignee Of A Land Contract - Reformation By Extrinsic Evidence
Michigan Law Review
Defendant Campbell assigned a contract to purchase land from the plaintiff to the defendant bank, the evidence being undisputed that the assignment was additional security for an existing indebtedness of Campbell. A printed form containing a promise by the assignee to pay the purchase price was used. The name of the assignee was left blank in order that the name of a prospective purchaser could be filled in if an anticipated sale materialized. In an action to foreclose the land contract the vendor asked for a deficiency judgment against the defendant bank. Held, that the vendor was not entitled …
Searches And Seizures - Reasonableness Of Arrest - Use Of Evidence Secured Through Unreasonable Arrest- Statutory Changes
Michigan Law Review
Police officers patrolling Detroit streets in a radio-equipped police car stopped a taxicab in which defendants Stein and Massie were riding. From the statement of the court, the officers' attention was attracted to the cab "because it was 'driving pretty fast,' about 32 miles per hour." The police car pursued it for a block or more; as it drew abreast of the cab defendant Stein was seen to reach into his pocket as if to take something out and put it behind him. "There was something about the cab, probably aside from its speed, which suggested to officer Sullivan that …

Evidence-The Unchastity Of A Female Witness As A Ground For Impeaching Her Veracity
Michigan Law Review
The underlying question which we propose to consider is this: Has the trait of chastity any such definite correlation with that of veracity that courts are justified in using the former as a criterion of the latter? It must be apparent from even a brief survey of the decisions in this field, and the reasons given therefor, that on this question the courts are swayed far more than ordinarily by their emotional reactions. Buttressed with sentiments that cannot fail to stir the heart of the male in any monogamous community and riveted with references to religion as well as the …
