How later courts describe this case

  • stating that interrogating jurors after they have been discharged is an extraordinary procedure which should be invoked only upon a strong showing of jury misconduct
  • upholding jury verdict because juror's statements, during deliberations, that "cops take bribes" demonstrated a shared experience rather than bias against a defendant police officer
  • state suit seeking order compelling arbitration of labor dispute held properly removed because federal labor law preempts state law
  • owners of bowling establishments agreed to restrict tournament and league eligibility to bowlers not frequenting competing establishments
