third trial of the case, after litigation
greatest ury-bribing scandals in the
state of Illinois, the case was decided
in favor of the child, one of the larg-
est personal injury awards ever made
in the history of Illinois courts.
The crippled child, injured October
81, 1895, when she was run down by a
Western avenue electric car, broke into
a fit of weeping when she heard the
verdict sealed by the jurymen, read
by Judge Abbott.
She was only 6 years of age when
the flying car cut off her right hand at
the wrist, crushed all her left hand
except the thumb and index finger, and
crushed off part of her right foot. Since
that time she has been a cripple.
On the first trial before Judge Hane-
cy in 1898, the jury disagreed and this
disagreement was followed by the jury

the indictment of Alexander Sullivan,
who tried the case for the railway, and
