SOUTH SHORE CASE
IS STILL UNDECIDED
Noted Personal Injury Case In Which
August Ambre, Employe of South
Shore Gas Co., Gets Judgment for
$4,000, Taken From LaPorte Su.
perior Court, Is Reversed.

Attorney Peter Crumpacker of the
firm of Crumpacker & CrumpacIxer re-
ceived notice today of the reversal of
the decision of Judge Charles TrusdaIe
of LapOrte In the case of Auust AM
bre VS.. the Postal Telegraph company.
in which Attorney Crumpacker had TAX
en- an appeal to the appellate court of
indiana.
The case was one in which August
Ambre. then an employe of the South
Shore Gas and Electric company climb
ed a telegraph pole, which was used
Jointly by the South Shore Gas and
Electric company and the Postal TeIe-
graph company, to locate some trouble.
How Accident Happened.
He came in contact with a live live
wire and 1890 volts of electricity
passed through his body A street car
was passing at the time and as the
injured man fell he dropped on top of
the car and then rolled of to the
ground He was quite seriously in
jured.
AS both the Postal and the South
Shore Gas companies were the owners
of the poles separate actions were
brought against each of them. The
case was venued to Laporte. and while
judgment of $4,000 was secured
against the South Shore Gas and Elec-
trio company, the Postal Telegraph
company was relieved of any liability.
Attorney Crumpacker, as the repre-
sentative of August Ambre, took an
appeal from the verdict of the jury in
the case of the Postal Telegraph com
pany and Attorney John b. Peterson
of Crown Point, who represented the
defendant companies, took an appeal
from the verdict of the jury in the
case of the South Shore Gas and Elec-
| trio company.
Syllabus of Decision.
| The case, in which the Postal Tele-
graph company is the defendant, is the
one that has been decided by the ap-
pellate court, and the attorneys are still
awaiting the decision in the other case.
| The following is the syllabus of the
| appellate courts decision:
! Cd A servant employed by a tele-
graph company to locate trouble by
testing its wires, which were strung
| on the same poles with other wires
which he knew belonged to and were
used by an electric light company of
the city of Hammond, was not neces-
sarily chargeable with notice that the
electric light wires were carrying a
dangerous charge at 4 o'clock on a
| bright summer afternoon, where the
day current had been put in operation
| only six months before, after six years
! use without day current, and said
! servant had only been in the service
of the telephone company one month
and had not been warned. CD Whether
or not such employe was bound to as
sumo that the electric light wires were
live wires" or might reasonably sup
pose them ::dead," and on that sup
position omit precautions necessary
when working about lives wires" was
question that should have been left
to the jury.
