U.S. Circuit Court for the District of Southern New York November 28, 1900, No. 7,400 (Thomson-Houston Electric Co. v. H. W. Johns Mfg. Co.)

LAGOMBE, Circuit Judge.

The witness is complainant’s expert, who is being cross-examined on the prima facie; and the question relates to one of many patents set up in the answer, either as anticipations, or as showing a state of the art which calls for a narrow construction of the patents sued upon, or possibly for a decision adverse to complainant on the question of invention.
