Put Same Passenger OFF Twice-4Act
Sustained by the Court.-ln the suit of
George f. Brown against the United Railways
and ELECTRIC Company, on trial in the Court of
Common Pleas Of Baltimore, Judge Harlan
| decided on Monday that car conductor was
| right in ejecting Mr. Brown from a car for the
second time, notwithstanding Mr.. Browns
| offer to pay his fare. The jury was instructed
| to render verdict for the company, but Mr.
Browns attorneys prevented the verdict being
rendered by taking non pros.
| On September Z, 1900, when going into the
city from the country, Mr.. Brown paid his fare
with coupon out of commuters book. He
declined to show his book when the conductor
asked to see it. For this he was put off the
car, and the conductors action in that respect
it was said, is sustained by decisions of the
| Court of Appeals.

on again and was again put off. He then said
| he would pay his fare, but the court decided
! that the conductor was justified in refusing to
accept Mr.. Brown as passenger again. The
case was tried by Messrs. E. Lynn Painter and
Howard Bryant for Mr.. Brown, and Mr.. Fielder
G. Slingluff for the company.
