Recently the Supreme Court at Pitts
burg affirmed the decision of the lower
| court In suit of Gardner Y. The Pullman
Palace Car company. The case attracted
widespread attention, and Gardner secured
verdict of $500 for having been robbed OF
valuables while sleeping in one of the
Pullman cars. The Supreme Courts
opinion held that the company, while moi
liable in action as an inn.keeper or common
carrier, yet reasonable ard proper degree
Of care is imposed on them. The main OBJ
ject in taking passage 10 such car Is tc
permit the passengers to sleep. While in
that helpless condition duty rests on the
company TO provide reasonable care and
caution against valuables of the passenger
| being stolen from bis bed or from clothes
| on his person. This is not case of robbery
by force and violence, but by stealthy lar.
| ceny. The tact thsa another passenger in
the same car was robbed the same night
was admissible as bearing on the absence
of the proper care by the company.
