Judges on the berch.
The case Of George D Stewart vs.. the
Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore
Railroad Company was again taken up,
and the examination of Witnesses con-
tlnued.
William Howard testified that he is
employed in the p, w. 4 B. car shops
and knows james V. Mcdowell well. He
never knew him to be under the influence
OF liquor while on duty.
William X. Long testified that he has
known Mcdowell for at least seven years
aud had never known him to even take a
drink. He was surprised when he heard
the testimony that had been given con-
corning him, as he was under tn. impress
sion that he was q total abstainer.
This closed the testimony for the de-
fence, and Alfred Williams, Charles +.
Powell aud George b. Stewart were call
cd on behalf Of the plaintiff In rebuttal,
and when they had given their testimony
Mr.. Gray stated that he was willing 10
submit the case 10 the jury without argu-
ment, MIR. Constable declined to agree
to this proposition, and the court decided
TO limit the plaintiffs counsel to two
hours and half, and the defendant to
two hours.
The argument was opened by Mr.. Con
stable, who presented the law bearing on
the case to the Court and submitted sew
eral p1luts on which he asked that the
jury should be charged. lie claimed
that the employees Of this company were
not placed In this noisy shop without
rules or regulations to scramble for them
selves, but on the contrary 1t was the
duty of the company TO see that they
were protected.
Mr.. Constable concluded at 1l.30
O'Clock, and was followed by Mr.. Lore,
also fer the plaintiff, who addressed the
Jury. lie contended that IL was the duty
of the railroad company TO furnish safe
place for its men ~ work, and that 1t had
been shown that Mcdowell was unfit to
have charge OF men. He claimed that 1t
bad been clearly shown the accident was
the result of carelessness on the part OF
the company's employees, and concluded
by asking the jury which of them would
undergo the pain and suffering expert
enced by Stewart for $50 1000
He finished at IL. 30 O'Clock, when Mr..
Gray Commenced his argument to the
