NEW YORK, April S.-Those

people at their own solicitation

injured by an accident caused by
fast riding. That, in effect, was
the verdict of Judge Brady and a

At the trial IL was brought out
that DR.. Thomas met Miss Haas
and her friend, Alvini Wiesman,
at Broadway and Seventy-second

that the girls asked him for a ride
and he acquiesced. On the other
hand Miss Haas assertion that
he had invited them to go for
a ride was substantiated by Miss
Wiesman.
The weight OF evidence was
against the plaintiff, although her
crippled condition elected the
sympathy of judge and jury, and
she lost her case.
