THREW UP THEIR HANDS.
Damage Suit Dismissed on Motion oil
Counsel for Plaintiff.

Counsel for Plaintiff.
The case of Ernest Crooms against the
Savannah, Thunderbolt and Isle of Hope
Railway. in which the plaintiff claimed
damages for personal injuries and which
had been on trial in the City Court for
three long days was dismissed yesterday
morning, upon the motion of the plain
tiff's counsel.
AS stated in the Morning News, counsel
for the plaintiff offered to dismiss the
case Thursday afternoon. provided coun-
sci for the defendant would produce the
records of the hospital a Waycross and
show by these documents that Crooms
had not told the truth about his injuries
and the time he had spent in the hospital.
Counsel refused to make this showing,
stating that abundant proof had already
been offered that Crooms was lying about
the time he entered the hospital. and
other material facts connected with the
case.
Whatever uncertainty remained in the
mind of Judge Twiggs as to the untrust-
worthness of his client must have been
removed during the night, for when the
case was called yesterday morning he
arose in his place and moved to dismiss
it, In accordance with this motion the
case was dismissed, at the cost of the
plaintiff
Crooms' story was 10 the effect that
while riding, in his capacity of brakeman,
on the top of freight car, he had come
in contact with wire belonging to the
defendant, which was hanging low over
the crossing at Gwinnett street, been
knocked down and seriously injured. The
defendant contended that if Crooms had
ever received any injuries it was not on
the occasion nor in the manner alleged in
his petition and this contention was sup
ported by such an array of evidence that
it even served TO convince counsel for
the plaintiff Therefore, they moved to
dismiss The plaintiff was represented by
Messrs. Twiggs & oliver and the defend
ant by Messrs. Osborne & Lawrence.
