Supreme Court of Minnesota July 8, 1932, Nos. 28,708, 28,709. (Newton v. Minneapolis Street Railway Co.)

Wilson, C. J.

(dissenting).

I concur in the dissent of Mr. Justice Stone. In addition thereto I comment upon but one assignment of error.

Every witness may, under cross-examination, be asked whether he has made any former statement relative to the subject matter inconsistent with his testimony upon the trial. This is for the purpose of impeaching him by contradictory statements.
