AS to Finding Articles In Street Cars-
An Interesting Point.-An interesting ques-
ton as to who is the proper custodian of arti-
Giles found in the street cars arose in the trial
of the suit OF Mrs. SaIie Justi against the
United Railways and Electric Company, before
Judge Elliott and jury in the Superior Court
of Baltimore on Tuesday. Attorney Albert E.
Donaldson, who tried the case for the railway
company, submitted a proposition of law to
the effect that articles found in the cars belong
to the company, as against every one except
the real owner.
Judge Elliott refused to grant the instruction
The Judge thereby held that passengers who
find articles in the cars are not obliged to turn
them over to the conductors 1t is the duty of
the conductor, the judge said in speaking of his
ruling, to obtain the name and address of a
passenger who finds ali article in car and de-
cides to retain it, so that the article may be
traced by the owner. Passengers, the Judge
said have the right to retain articles they find
III the cars and to endeavor to find the owners
themselves.
Mrs. JUST lives in West Arlington. On
October %, 1907 as she was returning home
from market in North avenue car she picked
up pocketbook in the car She said she re-
fused to turn the pocketbook over to the co.,
ductor, as he requested telling him she would
notify the company of her find when she got
home.
"As l was getting off the car" Mrs JUST
went on, 1.-THE conductor grabbed my market
basket by the handle and said, you can't get
off this car with that pocketbook.' !"
Mrs JUST said she kept the ,pocketbook, but
the conductor was angry and called after her
twice "Pocketbook thiefl'
As soon as she got home, Mrs. Justi said, she
notified the COMP any of her find, and the lady
to whom the pocketbook belonged called for it.
Roy Caldwell, conductor of the car, testified
that he asked Mrs. JUST to give him the pock
etbook because il was his duty to do so. He
said his instructions are to turn over to the
company articles found by him in his car, but
be had received no instructions as to the arti-
Giles found by passengers. He denied calling
Mrs. JUST "pock etbook thief"
Judge Elliott instructed the Jury that the
company was not liable for language used by
the conductor after Mrs. JUST had gotten off
the car and ceased to be a passenger. The
only question for the jury to decide, the Judge
also said. was as to the injury, if any, suffered
BY Mrs JUST by reason of any violence by the
conductor while she was on the car.
Mrs. JUST claimed 5000 damages. A yer.
dict for the company was rendered by thejury.
