Does a full railroad ticket expire
at the time stated on its face or is it
good until travelled on, Is question
often asked. This question came be-
fore a court In a suit some time ago
brought against the Erie railroad for
damages. Six years ago a Soman
bought a round trip ticket for a sta
ton for which she paid 81. She did
not use the return part of the ticket
until recently. The conductor re-
fused to take the ticket and put her
of the train. She sued and recover
ed $1,000. The case. was carried to
the United States Court and the
Judges affirmed the decision of the
lower courts, although since the tic
ket was bought the road changed
hands, even its name. The court
holds that the purchaser of the ticket
paid full fare for trip for the dis
lance called for by the ticket and
was entitled TO ride at her own con-
yenience.
