1Opinion of the CourtBuck, J.
A voluminous paper book of 2,073 pages, more than 100 assignments of error, and nearly 600 pages of briefs are submitted in this case for our consideration. As we view the case, the record contains a large mass of matter entirely unnecessary, and has imposed *383upon this court a burden seldom if ever before cast upon it. However, we have patiently and carefully examined the entire record, and the briefs of the respective counsel, and arrived at the conclusion that a new trial should be granted the defendants. In view of this conclusion, it is proper that we state the grounds thereof.
