A LEGAL POINT.
Supreme Court Decides A Question
Of Joining Parties.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-The
Supreme Court Of the United States
has decided a delicate point relative
to the jurisdiction Of the Federal and
State courts in cases in which citi-
zens of a state are joined in suits with
corporations which are citizens only
of the United States. The case was
that OF Mrs. Mary Dunn of Texas,
whose husband was killed on the Tex
as & Pacific Railroad.
She brought suit against the COM
pany and two of its employees for
damages, the railroad company ow-
ing its existence as corporation to
Congress and the employees being
citizens Of Texas. The case, original.
ly instituted in state court of Tex
as, was afterward removed to fed
eral court.
Mrs. Dunn then filed an original
petition in the Supreme Court Of the
United States for writ of mandamus
compelling the restoration Of the
case to the state court, on the ground
that only that court had jurisdiction
because Of the citizenship Of the en-
ployed defendants The court, how
ever, held against this contention,
holding that as the employees had
been joined with the railroad com.
pany the federal court had jurisdic-
ton over them as well as over the
corporation. Justice Peckham, who
handed down the opinion, said that
the rights Of the Texas & Pacific
Company could not be taken away
even though it was made an associ-
ate defendant with the citizens of
Texas. ...s
