March 31 (A)- The death toll of a highway bridge washout near here had mounted to 12 today and two persons were still missing as search continued in rainswollen Clear Creek, into which at least seven motorcars plunged Wednesday night. Refuses to Upset Accident Award Doubts Witnesses.

Court Says, But Cites Two Jury Verdicts Although the evidence in the case was such as to make him doubt the veracity of the witnesses and the verdict of the jury was against the weight of the evidence, even if credited, Justice Mitchell May in Brooklyn Supreme Court declined today to disturb the verdict of $3,000 Edward Wight, 14, and $1,000 to his father for doctor bills, handed up on March 23 in a suit growing out of injuries sustained when a truck rolled over the boy's foot. It was the second jury which favored Edward with a verdict. The first awarded him $2,000 and his father $1.100 in 1937. The Appellate Division set that aside and another jury disagreed after Harry Cohen, a juror, created a scene in front of the courthouse by refusing to go to dinner in a taxicab during a strike. Justice May agreed with Robert S.

Fleckles, counsel for the Brooklyn Queens Transit Corporation, that the testimony failed to establish negligence on the part of compan yemployes and that the testimony of two boys made it appear "as if their part in the trial had been carefully prepared." Doubts Boys' Testimony "But," Justice May declared, "AS two juries have now rendered verdicts in favor of plaintiffs I feel constrained not to disturb the verdict in the intsant trial." Justice May also declared that "one would accept with serious hesitancy the testimony of two boys concerning the circumstances of an accident that happened four and a half years previously, when they were 8 and 11 years of age." The testimony reOfferred to was that of Edward and his friend, Henry Barbey. Edward was injured at 4th Ave. and 100th St. when a trolley company repair truck rolled over his foot.
