TO dispose OF IT, Mrs. Perry and another

on a car that was going along Tockwot-
ten street and asked for a transfer for
Olneyvile.
At Market square the two women board
ed Brook street and Olneyville car and
when the car was going along Westmius
ter street the plaintiff offered the transfer
that had been given her on the Tockwot-
ten street car. The conductor claimed II
was punched for travelling In the wrong
direction.
Then Mrs Perry says she offered the
conductor a nickel for her fare. The CON
dhctor said she offered ~ TO him IL he
would give her another transfer. Mrs.
Perry says she offered the nickel without
conditions. IL evidently puzzled the jury 20
discover what use she might have for an
other transfer as she was going home.
She was elected from the car. Presiding
Justice sweetland said IL the transfer was
punched wrong the conductor OF the
Olneyville car had the right TO reject II
and II Mrs. Perry did not pay her fare
the conductor had n right to eject her
from the car. In another form OF action
his honor said Mrs. Perry might recover,
n she asked for transfer TO a certain
point or In a certain direction and the
conductor gave her one 10 another point
or In an opposite direction.

plaintiff and Alonzo r. Williams repre-
