WANT A N0N-suIT.

Tho Railroads. Counsel Move to Dis
miss the Case of the Ward Heirs.
Plaintiff in the suit to recover damages
from the New York and Long Branch
Railroad Company for being the cause of
the death OF Widow Rachel Ward ID the
Little Silver disaster, rested their case
yesterday. Ex-Chancellor Williamson
at once moved that the Court grant nom
suit on the ground that the plaintiff had
not proved any negligence, or if negli-
gence had been proved, it was shown
that the plaintiff had been guilty Of con-
tributory negligence.
Counsellor Magee denied this and cited
recent decision of the Court of Errors
to sustain his position. The case was
very similar to the one being tried and a
man was killed at Elizabeth. The Su-
preme Court granted non-suit. but the
decision was reversed by the upper court.
Ex-Chancellor Williams then continued
his argument at great length, occupying
nearly two hours In discussing the legal
bearings of the case. When he had con-
cluded Judge Knapp took the papers in
the case ana said he would decide the
motion on Monday.
