Questions On A Marriage Anniversary Document

CROSS-EXAMINATION OF QUIE CONTINUES

THE SUPREME COURT

AT THE

Mr Joseph L. Quie, who is suing three Government doctors for damages, denied under cross-examination at the hearing at the Supreme Court this morning that a document he gave to his wife in 1948 "was the sort of document that would be drawn up by a person who is mentally unbalanced."

Plaintiff explained that the document was a kind of certificate of marriage to commemorate 21 years of married life which he drew up him- self, but which was not meant to be taken seriously.

The claim against the three doctors is being heard before Mr Justice

T. J. Gould, Acting Chief Justice, and a Jury of three men and four women.
