Almost by Default.
The Southern railroad has had a
pretty close shave from having to sub
NIT to judgment by. default in the case
Of Dorothy H. Brickman as adminis-
tratrix, in her suit for $4,000 damages
on account Of the killing Of her hus-
band, Engineer C. H. Brickman at
Fishing creek. The plaintiff had duly
filed her complaint, and Judge Town
send granted a motion for amendment
on the ground that 1t was not specific
enough The plaintiff amended and
fled a new complaint without delay.
Then the defendant failed to answer
within the twenty days allowed. Two
de VS. afterward, however, the defend
ant went before Judge Townsend and
asked to be allowed to put In It's an
swer, Col. Abney the attorney repre-
senting that because Of the press Of
other business he had forgotten the
time, etc. Judge Townsend decided
that he did not have power to allow
the answer to come in and the defend
ant appealed to the supreme court.
The plaintiff moved in the supreme
court for the dismissal Of the appeal,
but the supreme court has refused to
grant the motion, and the question as
to whether or not Judge Townsend
had the right to let the answer Of the
Southern railway in after the expira-
tion of the twenty days time limit will
be heard on the call Of Sixth circuit
cases. II the supreme court should
uphold Judge Townsend, the plaintiff
will be entitled to judgment and the
only question that will be left for a
jury will be to determine the amount
of the plaintiffs damages.
