OLSON v. HORTON MOTOR CO.
499

order that he be made a party plaintiff so that his interest in the action may appear. In court practice there should be no deception, no sailing under false colors. An attorney should not be allowed to pose before a jury as a disinterested minister of justice in case he has a half interest | in the verdict or the recovery. Such a practice lowers the standard of legal ethics. It brings the legal profession: into disrepute. It is demoralizing.

Birdzell, J. (concurring specially). I concur in the reversal of the judgment on account of the errors committed in the submission of the case for a special verdict. These errors are of the same character as those involved in Daniels v. Payne, 182 N. W. 1o10, which case seems to be followed, though condemned, in the principal opinion herein. It is for the reasons stated in the opinion in Daniels v. Payne, which are also applicable to the case at bar, that I concur in the reversal of the judgment.

Christianson, J., concurs.
