LIFE MAY COST ROAD $4,000
Court Awards That Sum to Heirs
of Man Killed by Train.

somerville, n. j. Nov <. (SpeciaD.-
Jury in the Somerset County Court here
to-day returned a verdict awarding S35.
600 10 the heirs OF Robert H. Kyle, who
was struck nd instantly killed by the
Black Diamond Express az the Hills
borough crossing on the night of April
@ 1910 This is said 70 be the largest
award ever given in court for the loss
of a single life
KYLE was a wealthy cattle dealer Of
the firm OF Newland & CO. Jersey City
He had a country place two miles from
Somerville While riding in a carriage
over the Hillsborough crossing, which
was unguarded after sundown, he was
struck by the fast express and his body
was hurled many feet along the tracks
of the Lehigh Valley Railroad.
The heirs Of Mr.. Kyle brought suit for
100000 against the road. The case was
tried before Judge Benjamin F Vail and
a jury The PLAINTIFF produced the books
OF the Newland company, which showed
that Kyle was earning more than S1O.-
eco year. and that he had contributed
more than 5000 annually to the sup
port OF his family. 1t was also shown
that the family had been deprived of
more than years income by his death
Counsel for the defendant company at
tempted TO prove that Kyle was intoxi-
Gated when he was struck and that
there was other contributory negligence.
and that the crossing was no more dan
gerous than scores OF others in the rural
sections The case will probably be ap-
neaIed 10 the Supreme Court
