RAILROAD SUIT
MAY BE TRIED
FOURTH TIME

The supreme court. In an opinion handed
down today in the case OF Martha A.
oates. administrators. VS.. Union railroad.
sets aside the verdict OF s4Os5 in favor Of
plaintiff and grants defendants petition
for a new TRAIL.
The case has already been tried before
three juries.
Patrick Oates. husband OF the plaintiff.
was on May 90 1902. driving along Gaspee
street in a tipcart and the cart was struck
by a car that came down Francis street
Oates was thrown from the seat and a
wheel passed over him and he died the
same evening
One of the grounds on which a new
trial was asked was that the name OF
one George w. Bennett as a Juror was
substituted for another George w Ben
nett by the city clerk. AS Il does not
appear that the Bennett who sat on the
jury was not qualified. nor that defendant
was prejudiced by his being there, the
objection made after verdict Is held to
come too late.
On another point Chief Justice Doug
las finds that defendants contention that
the city ordinance was violated need not,
as the defendant contended, be declared
upon, for the rules of the city council
made in pursuance OF the statute must be
pertinent to the case.
The deceased, the chief Justice says,
had the right TO expect that the COM
pany would observe the requirement of
the ordinances and If the violation OF the
duty imposed for the safety OF the pub
lie is the cause Of the injury evidence OF
the violation is prlma facie evidence OF
negligence.
THE province OF the jury is not to de-
termine that a given act Is negligent be-
cause 1t is a violation OF an ordinance
or regulation but To declare such an
act TO be negligent because IL Is not
marked by the degree OF care which the
circumstances impose"

OF the family. Mrs. Wood also recognized
some OF the belongings of the deceased.
Letters written by Mrs. Gushing showed
that She had been in Paris, Vienna and
Monte Carlo since she left England last
October.

deceased as conclusive and thought IL
wiser to secure the evidence OF hand
writing experts. The inquest thereupon
was adjourned for three weeks
Mrs. Gushing arrived March IA at the
hotel where she died, coming directly
from Paris. Five empty laudanum bottles
were found in her room. In one OF the
letters left by Mrs. Cushing she asked

be avoided. and ended with the following
statement: mo one can claim me as
am without family. relations or friends
and the name under which am registered
