The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1904-02-07

Because a railway train struck James
Flynn. broke most Of the large bones
in his body and caused him to lose his
watch, that gentleman wants the As
toria & Columbia Railroad Company
to pay him s4O,035. He wants the s4o,-
900 to compensate him for the injur-
les he suffered in the accident and
the y35 for his watch. The suit was
filed yesterday In the circuit court
The accident occurred August 6, 1902,
while Flynn was walking along the
railroad trestle near the o. r. & ~.
Co.'S wharf. The complaint recites
that the license OF the defendant COR
poration give It permission to main
tain footpath along the trestle and
that he was on the path when the
train came by; that the accident was
due to the negligence Of the company.
He says his left collar bone was broken
In two places. the left houlder blade
broken and crushed. his ribs likewise
broken and crushed, one Of them driven
into his lung. and thigh bone broken
and crushed. Permanent injuries are al
legged to have been sustained by the
man who lost his watch In the mixup.
The suit was brought once before, but
when called for trial Judge Bennett
asked postponement. This the at
torneys for the A. & c. would not agree
to. so Judge Bennett then asked al
nonsuit, which was granted. AT thel
former trial attorneys for the A. G. C.
indicated that they would base their
defense on the condition Of Flynn, who
was said to have been more or less un-
der the influence of liquor.

With the filing OF the suit against
the A. &. c. by James Flynn there has
been some speculation as to the reason
the attorneys for the plaintiff asked
a nonsuit at the former trial. Similar
action was taken by the attorneys in
the case OF Charlotte Grimberg vs. Co
lumbia River Packers Association. Mrs
Grimberg asked damages for the death
OF her husband. who fell from the
rigging Of a ship under charter to the
packers. About that time the Book
case was on and 1t is the belief that
the attorneys feared their case would
be weakened IL permitted to go on
trial at the time the men who mulcted
the city were convicted.
