MARKEY CASE SETTLED.
Famous Roarload Case Settled
Plaintiff Gets Twenty Thousand
Dollars.

The case OF Patrick Marley against
the Louisiana g. Missouri River Rail-
road, tried In the Circuit Court OF this
county at the June Term 1902 In
which a verdict was rendered for the
plaintiff for thirty-6ye thousand
dollars, has at last been settled by the
Company. The defendant appealed
to the Supreme court, when at the
October Term 1904 the Judgment of
the Circuit was affirmed upon condi-
tIon OF plaintiffs remitting fifteen
thousand Of his verdict, leayingitstand
for twenty thousand. Thereupon the
railroad company by writ Of error, re-
moved the case TO the United
States Supreme Court where the same
has since been pending but had not
reached a hearing.
On last week the defendant signified
Its purpose to pay the judgement as
modified in the Supreme Court aud
pay all costs OF all the Courts The
question OF main interest in the case
was the liability Of the Louisiana &
Missouri River Railroad Company,
which had leased its line TO the Chi
cage & Alton Railroad Company, for
the negligent acts Of the operating
| road.
Locally, George Robenriso represent
ed the plaintiff and took the position
that under the laws OF Missouri the
Louisiana g. Missouri River Railroad
Company was liable as though II oper-
ated the road itself. The plaintiff was
an engineer and had been injured by
the explosion Of one Of engines Of
the Chicago & Alton Railway com
pany.
The lessor railroad being a Missouri
corporation and the operating railroad
being an Illinois corporation, the
plaintiffs attorneys we're especially
desirions Of maintaining their suit
In the state courts, whereas If suit
was Brought against the Illinois cor.
poratlon 1t would remove TO the Fed,
eral Court. The action was ltherefors
brought against the Missouri corpora
tion aud thus prevented a removal.
The late Judge Hughes was JudgI
at the time and upheld plaintiffs view
Of the case, and was afterwards sus
tanned by the Supreme Court of thi
state.
The accident occurred 10 Pike Oun
! ty In October 1900 By which Mr.. Mar
key lost both OF bis legs.
BY now settling the case the defen
dant abondons its claim made in tn
Supreme Court OF the United State
and the plaintiffs attorneys are sus
tanned in their original view by all o.
the courts in which the case has beef
tried. Frank P. Walsh and Hon
John NJ. Creary, Of Kansas City weri
