MRs. HARKINs aETs THE 1000


The Circuit Court of Appeals Amrms
the Decision Of the Delaware Circuit
Court.
A telegram was received yesterday
from the clerk Of the Circuit Court Of
Appeals at Philadelphia, stating that the
Judgment given in the Delaware Cir
cult Court in the case Of MS. Maggie
Harkins VS.. the Pullman Palace Car
Co., had been affirmed The amount
allowed by the jury in this city was
81, 600 for the death of Michael Harkins,
who was killed by alleged carelessness
of the defendant company, in January,
1891.
An appeal was taken by Lawyers
George d. Bates of this city and John s.
Runnels of Chicago, counsel for the de-
fendants. from this judgment to the
Circuit Court of Appeals and the judg-
ment Just rendered by the Court Of Ap-
peals finally settles the case and gives
Messrs. Bird and Sanborn, counsel for
Mrs. HarSins a victory over their op-
ponents. The prosecutor will conse-
quently get the 81, 900.
IL was an interesting case involving,
as it did, the liability Of corporation in
sending its employees to work in danger
GUS places.
The suit was brought by the plaintiff
to recover damages for the death of her
husband, Michael Harkins who was
killed at the works of the Pullman
Company by being caught in a revolving
! shaft. He had been sent with
other workmen to raise heavy
ioist. and had assembled a ladder
and was standing on the timber twenty
feet above the ground, engaged IN
raising the joist, when his clothing
was caught by the end Of
revolving shaft. he was hurled ovel
it and almost instantly killed.
Several interesting points Of Law
we're decided by the courts of appeals
in this case, one Of which was tha
expert evidence was admissible to SHOW
the danger Of shafting in motion
Another that the question Of fellow
serving could not arise where the negli
gence of the master in furnishing
safe place, combines with the negligence
of the fellow servant .. in producing tn
accident.
After the verdict was given in tn
United.States Court in this,city. a.motio
for a new trial was asked for by Messrs
Bates and Runnells, on the ground tha
the amount of the verdict was excessive
The motion was heard by Judges Dalla
and Wales. who refused 10 issue an orde
to that effect and the case was then dc
clared in favor Of the plaintiff.
