WINCHESTER ARMS COMPANY
CASE AGAINST THE RAILROAD.
A motion for leave to amend the COM
plant in the suit of the Winchester Re-
peating Arms company against the
Consolidated Railroad company was
filed by Bristol, Stoddard & Bristol and
Alling, Webb &c Morehouse, attorneys
for the plaintiff, in the common pleas
court yesterday afternoon. The suit
grew out of fire which occurred in
the railroad yards four years ago and
in which cars containing merchandise
belonging to the Winchester company
were destroyed. Last spring Judge
Root gave a verdict of $1,Oo3.43 to the
plaintiffs, but the verdict was set aside
as against the evidence.
The defence claimed that contract
was made whereby the railroad COM
pany did not insure against loss. The
motion to amend contains another par
agraph in which it sets up that, con-
tract or no contract, the loss was caus-
ed by gross negligence on the part of
the railroad company.
