C. 0. LASSITTER GETS VERDICT
Jury Awards Him $4,000 in
Damage Suit

The case of @. o. Lassitter vs.. the
Florida East Coast Railway Company,
for damages, was terminated Saturday
night when the jury returned verdict
for the plaintiff and fixed the sum Of
damages at $4,000.
AS was mentioned last week this
case grew out of an accident whereby
Mr. Lassitter lost his left foot, and this
suit was brought for $4,000. The jury
was secured last Wednesday night and
Thursday morning the hearing of tes-
timony was begun,
Much evidence was introduced by
both sides. The plaintiff produced
witnesses to show that the accident
was caused by insecure appliances on
the car and the fault of the railroad
company. The defense put 10 the plea
and testimony that contlibutory negli-
gerce on the part of the plaintiff was
the cause.
The following jury was on the case:
L, ID. Jones, A. Snellgrove, G. A.
Powers, Thos. Heller, C, s. Bixby and
Jens Helseth. Saturday counsel adj
dressed the jury in the following order:
j. D, Beggs for the plaintiff, +. L.
Hemmings for the defense, o. r. Par
ker for plaintiff, Geo. M. Robbins for
defense and w. Z. Palmer closed for
the plaintiff. This occupied all day
and Judge Jones called night session
to charge the jury and let them decide
on the case. They were given the
matter 10 hand at eight o'clock and
one hour later returned verdict for
the plaintiff and named the amount of
damages az $1,000.
The court gave the defense fifteen
days in which TO make q motion for
new trial, Taken altogether all out
siders, regardless Of sympathy for.
either side seem to think the verdict a
just one, and everybody seems to be
satisfied oyer the result.
Naturally, as all these cases do, the
matter win be taken 70 the supreme
court where more expense is necessary
before settlement will be reached,
