Syllabus

<p>New Trial — Grounds—Misconduct or Jury. Tbe fact that tbe jury accepted the evidence of one party rather than that of another does not show passion or prejudice.</p> <p>Depositions — Examination oe Witness — Answers—Responsiveness. An answer to a cross-interrogatory in a deposition as to the condition in which the witness found the vital organs of the deceased when he performed the autopsy, is properly excluded as not responsive, where the answer only stated the conclusion of the witness that the condition of the organs was the same as would be caused by chronic alcoholism and that the odor ,of alcohol was present.</p> <p>Appeal — Review—Verdicts. A verdict up'on conflicting evidence, sufficient to support the theory of either side, is conclusive on appeal.</p>
