Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1896-05-12
JURORS WERE FIRM.
No Verdict in Hatch VS.. Chicago,
Milwaukee and St. Paul Case.

The jury in the case of l.. o. Hatch,
administrator, VS.. the Chicago, Mil
waukee and st. Paul railway, suit
in the federal court for $15, 900 damages
for death of Judge Hatch at McGregor,
reported at noon yesterday that they
could not agree. The jury was charged
and sent out at O'clock Thursday
afternoon and it was said that they
stood s to for defendant from first to
last. Judge Shiras yesterday noon
discharged them from the case. 1t is
not generally known, but the case was
singular one and involved two very
important points, one of which has
never been decided by United States
court except once i'm Missouri. The
late Judge Hatch, who had been car
ried past the depot at McGregOr and
across bridge into the company's
yards, was let off the train south of
the bridge. 1t was dark and he started
to walk back. The bridge is on a
public street and is used by the public
as foot bridge in conjunction with
the company as a railroad bridge. 1t
is unguarded, there being no raised OBJ
struction on either side of any kind.
The testimony showed that before
Judge Hatch had reached the north
end the lights i'm the vicinity threw
the shadows in such way that made
it seem that the end of the bridge had
been reached before it had in fact.
Witnesses testified that they had tried
it and found the illusion present.
Judge Shiras instructed the Jury that
if they thought from the testimony
that the circumstances as stated, the
liUhtS castipu Sha6oUC mazda SIIcb IL
fusion, then the deceased Judge Hatch
had used all due care and there was
no negligence on his part in walking
off the bridge. The other point was
whether the railroad company, be-
cause of the bridge being used as a
foot bridge, was responsible for the
guarding of the bridge. The court
held that the company, having con-
structed the bridge should have con-
structed in a safe manner, and if it
was used jointly by the company and
the public the company was liable. 1t
was for the jury to determine, however
from the evidence whether the
bridge was so used by both public and
company. There Were many who ex-
pected a verdict for plaintiff and the
disagreement was surprise to them.
Messrs. A. Chaplin, of McGregor, and
John McCOOk, of Cresco, tried their
case for plaintiff i'm a very thorough
manner and it was from no fault of
theirs that they did not receive ver-
dict. The defense was represented by
very able attorneys, among whom
were Judge Noble, of McGregor, and
Hon. w. j. Knight of this city Du-
buque Herald.

BRYAN's MANAGERS.
There Arc too Many cooks aud they May

Chicago Record: 1t Is n rather puz-
zllng situation which surrounds Candl-
date Bryan At the present juncture. He
has managers enough TO 20 around
among all the candidates and still leave
him several to spare. There Is Senator
Jones. who Is now threatened with re-
tIrement. There Is Governor Stone,
who has been managing also, and who
may yet step into Senator Jones shoes.
There Is Governor Altgeld. who has been
quietly aiding Governor Stone. and
there is Senator German, who slipped
Into camp when no one was looking and
began to DO Il little managing On his
own account until he was invited to do
something else. And then there Is Mr..
