GET $4,000 JUDGMENT

One of the best judgments which have
been secured in local courts recently
was that in the case of Mary A Hav-
erty, Administrative of the estate of
John Haverty who was, killed at Blue
Island when the locomotive upon which
he was engineering ran into a derail
and then toppled over on him.
Marvin E. Barnhardt of Chicago, L. L.
Bomberger and John F. Sawyer of
Hammond, were the attorneys in the
case Considering the fact that Hav-
erty was killed and that he was so
years old at the time of his death, a
verdict of $4,000 is considered a good
one.
The verdict was secured against the
Chicago Junction and the Wabash rail-
roads. The case was tried before Judge
H. B. Tuthill in the Porter Circuit court
whether it was venued from Hammond
The defendants attorneys demured
tc the evidence and the jury then re-
turned a provisional verdict of $4,000.
The court will hear the argument on
the demur Monday.
The attorneys for the plaintiff devel-
oped more strength than was expected
and the verdict came as a surprise to
the defendant railroads.
