FATALLY HURTIN TROLLEY CAR.

furnish a safe car for the carriage OF a
passenger
Judge Wilbur said there should be
some proof that by reasonable diligence
the company could have prevented the
accident. There was none in this case;
the declaration was properly drawn.
but the proof did not, he thought, come
up TO II. The case was very close one,
his honor further stated, but owing to
the testimony of the plaintiff that the
conductor told him the motor fell down
the case might go to the jury.
Mr.. Vincent, I'm his opening to the
jury. said the trip on which the acct
dent occurred was usual one. For
some reason unknown TO those in
charge of the car the motor dropped
down and the car was stopped. The
car was inspected properly by two men
and was in good working order. That
there was no defect of any. nature APP
parent. 4 wrought iron rod broke
without any apparent reason and the
motor was let down on the ground.
There was no flaw in the iron and the
accident was due to some cause that
no inspector however careful could
have prevented.
The car inspectors told about the car
being properly inspected the night be-
fore the accident. Motorman Capron
testified the car was going at the rate
of eight miles an hour that the track
was clear and he inspected the bar ON
which the end Of motor rested just
before making the trip. ON cross-exam-
ination he said the car went around
the curve at the rate of eight miles an
hour and that he did not think the run
ming of the car at a high rate of speed
would cause the motor TO pound against
the bar and break il. The running over
an obstruction might do so.
II. V. A. Joslin, secretary of the de-
fendant corporation. testified the
trucks OF the cars and the bar that
broke were bought OF the Franklin
Foundry.
The point raised by counsel for the
defence was much discussed by mem
bers OF the bar today They all agreed
that Judge Wilbur made no mistake i'm
refusing to grant the non suit The
general understanding OF the law is
that a common carrier Is bound To
carry passengers safely. that " an ac-
cident happens such "a the one here de-
scribed the burden of proof Is on the
carrier TO show that he has not been
guilty of negligence.
Herbert \. Rice was associated with
Mr.. Vincent for the defence and Dharlcs

sci for the plaintiff.
