Imperial Safe Deposit Co. v. University of Chicago ( 1914 )

Mr. Justice McSurely

delivered the opinion of the court.

3. Treae, § 192*—rule as to direction of verdict. Although a ease should not be taken from the jury where there is any evidence from which reasonable inferences favorable to the plaintiff may be drawn, such inferences must be reasonable and not mere speculations produced-by fervid appeals to the emotions or imagination.
