be less careless.
James Mcdowell, about whom all the
derogatory testimony had been given in

stated that he had charge of the move
ment of cars in the car shops. On the
day Stewart was hurt, he ordered the car
moved, and Anderson, man whose duty
1t was to do so. moved ladder from the
car and said all was right.
He did not see Stewart until
after he had been hurt. Witness
had never been intoxicated when at work
but admitted he drank little. On cross
examination the lawyers for the plaintiff
piled him with questions regarding his
drinking habits and made him admit that
he left the employ of the company for
reasons he did not care to mention. Then
Mr. Gray, in an endeavor to counteract
these admissions, said:
"What church do you attendY
"The Methodist when go, answered
the witness.
This caused laugh, but Mr. Gray said
he only wanted TO show that the man did
attend church.
Benjamin +. Trivitt assisted to move
the car on which Stewart was hurt.
Stewart and two others were on top of it
when Mcdowell gave the order to shove
Two Of them came down the ladder and
it was moved. Then the car was started

procured it was started again and wit
ness heard scrambling ON the car roof

was not under the influence of liquor
that day
William G. King stated that the plain
tiff stepped over the roof to pick up
piece Of tin that was rolling off of the
car roof The car was moving and he
was drawn under the girder At Mr..
Gray's request the witness came down
before the jury and illustrated the posi-
tions the plaintiff took. Mr.. Constable's
cross examination was of the strictest
kind
Lambert Armstrong, Samuel Porter,
John j. Wallace and Alfred Willing gave
evidence regarding the starting Of the
car and the accident. Two of the above
stated that when warned that car
would be moved. some of the men re.
mainsd on top at their own risk.
Justin d. Anderson said that he was
up the ladder beside the car and told the
men that it was to be moved. Witness
went up a second time and received in
from Stewart that he would re-
main on top of the car.
After hearing a witness or so on the
man being sober on the day of the acci-
dent court adjourned until this morning.
