new TRIAL
Mrs. KoIb's Case Against Union
Railroad Co. Before Court.

Chief Justice Stiness and Justices Til
linghast and Rogers today heard an old
case on plaintiffs petition for new trial.
The plaintiff was Catherine Kolb admin
istrator VS.. Union Railroad company.
Mrs. Kolb sued TO recover damages for
the death OF her husband Gottheb Kolh
who was a passenger on a Mount Pleas
ant car on the evening OF Jan. 9, 1894.
While he was preparing TO alight from
the rear platform at a point some %
or 40 feet west Of the railroad bridge on
Atwels avenue the car was suddenly
started forward, and the deceased was
thrown from the platform and step so
that his head struck the curbing on the
northerly side of Atwell's avenue. A
Jury at the third trial OF the case found
for defendant.
The suit was brought by Mrs Kolb.
not only In her own behalf, but also in
behalf OF her three minor children A
new trial is asked on four grounds. the
two chief ones being that the verdict was
against the evidence and that the presid-
ing Justice erred in admitting testimony
90 show that Mrs. Kolb had an illigit-
innate child by her iormer husband 8
brother after the husbands death. At one
trial OF the case the presiding justice
promptly and severely ruled this testimony
out but at the last trial another Judge
let IT go 10 the jury.
John W. Hogan, counsel for Mrs. kolb,
urged that the admission OF this testi-
mony was wrong because IL was irrele-
want aud because the authorities beyond
question sustained the opinion often
times given that only in criminal cases
where the woman is q prosecutrix In a
charge of involving an attack on her
honor or in cases where the case is
seduction OF n father sues for loss OF
services can testimony TO show unchast-
itv OF n female plaintiff be introduced.
MIR. Hogan argued that this testimony
WAS introduced 10 slur the family OF the
plaintiff and 10 work a wrong on the
dead mans innocent children. David =.
Baker and Lewis 4. Waterman were
counsel for defendant.
Mr.. Baker commenting on the test-
nony of a witness for the plaintiff named
Good, said Il was evident the witness
WAS giving testimony whose untruthful-
ness or idiocy was clearly marked. lie
also claimed that the record showed it
WAS Mr. Hogan who asked first how
many children Mrs. Kolb had.
Mr. Baker further argued contrary 20
Mr. Uogan's view of tho law that = wit
ness could be questioned as 10 her chast-
itv i'm any case and said tho authorities
fully supported the sta tement that per

WILL CONTEST.
New Trial Asked for In the
Case Of Late Mary J. Dodge

The appellate division OF the supreme
court today was called upon 10 say
whether a jury's verdict was sustained
by the testimony I'm finding that Mary J.
Dodge, at the time she made her last
will and testament, was of unsound mind.
Mrs. Dodge was the wife OF Bartholo-
NEW r. Dodge. BY the instrument under
consideration Eugene IL. Lincoln was
made executor.
new trial is asked for on the grounds:
Error in permitting witnesses not expert
to testify as 20 the mental condition OF
the testatrix; error in admitting testi-
mony that the mother OF the testatriX
committed suicide that The verdict is
against the evidence and the weight
thereof: newly discovered evidence
Mrs Dodge was married TO Barthole-
new r. Dodge June 18th, 1898. and was
then 45 years old. while her husband was
81 years. The difference i'm the age was
made up by dollars. as the deceased was
the owner of one-half of house on New
ton street and had money amounting TO
Sl5.0c She was milliner before her
marriage. When she died she left real
estate at Washington Park taxed Tor
silOO, and besides her interest IN a New
ton street house, had money in banks and
notes 10 the value Of about sll.G00
Mr. Dodge says his wife had lost her
mental balance long before she made the
will and the executor and friends of the
deceased say she was strong mentally
and made her will as she did because of
her husbands cruel treatment.
Mrs Dodge, by her will, leaves most OF
her property to her sister, Mrs. sam
