“Mr. Foote: Well Your Honor, if the jury in response to this interrogatory answers it “No”, meaning they were not prohibited, do I understand then that that ends this entire case, other than Your Honor entering judgment on the issues in this case? The Court: That’s what I said. Mr. Foote: Let me talk to Mr. Wendrow. Mr. Foote: Very well Your Honor. The Court: All right. Mr. Foote: You have my agreement. The Court: Well, I think that we have, —I think that we have everything now agreed upon.”
