The supreme court Of Kansas recently
handed down decision holding asains |
Mrs. Elizabeth Rudolph Of this city
who was awarded 100000 damages
against the Santa Fe Railroad Company
by Barber county jury, on account Of
the death Of her husband who lost his
life while working as brakeman several
years ago. on the branch between this
city and Attica. The court not only
reversed the lower court but denied
a Tehearing. the effect Of which is to put
the plaintiff out Of court. In this decisien
the higher court squarely reverses itself.
In substance the opinion says that a
brakeman is guilty Of contibutory neeli-
Sence if he makes couplings by stepping
between cars or assists In making flying
switch. even though that is the custom,
while the former opinion Of the court is
that i such method was the custom with
the knowledge Of the railroad company,
il is not to be construed as negligence on
the part Of employees who are injured or
who lose Efe in the performance Of
their work. These conflicting opinions
demonstrate that courts are falEble and
that bench-made laws are susceptible to
swift changes. The people Of this city
and the county generally regret that Mrs.
Rudolph was deprived Of what wa.
awarded to her as her just due by twelve
ofihe good citizens Of Barber county,
The incident will give more reason fol
blinking people to lower their opinion o.
ihe court Of final resort.
