COURT DECIDES AGAINST
THE UNITED RAILROADS
Aged Woman Secures New Trial
of Damage Suit

A verdict in favor of the United
Railroads in the suit in which the
streetcar corporation was sued for
$4,000 damages by Mrs. Catherine
Hackett, an aged woman, for personal
injuries, was set aside by Judge Hunt
yesterday and new trial ordered.
The Judge said that there was no JUS
tification for the jury's verdict, as
the evidence clearly showed that Mrs.
Hackett was entitled to damages.
The plaintiff was riding on the front
platform of a Folsom street car No
vember %, 1907, when the car stopped
so suddenly that she was thrown to
the street. She fell on, her head and
face and was badly bruised and other
wise hurt
In setting aside the verdict yester-
day Judge Hunt said there was no evil
dence of contributory negligence on
the part of Mrs. Hacket. THE evil
dence in my opinion justified verdict
in favor of the plaintiff for reason

of the Mask and Dagger society of
Berkeley, is to be taken by Miss Helen
Hill, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Hill of this city and granddaughter of
Barton Hill.
Miss Hill will play the role of Miss
Dyott. a part that will call for con-
siderable histrionic ability. She has
already made quite a name for her
self In the amateur dramatic world,
having taken an interest in all of the
student plays of the university for
the last few years, and as she is most
talented along this line her friends
predict big future for her should she
eventually decide to adopt the stage
as a career.
A report was circulated on the occa-

Barrymore Colt to the effect that Miss
Hill was about to abandon her col
lege course and adopt the f6otIights
under Miss Barrymore's guidance. The
report was merely a rumor erroneousIy
founded on the intimacy existing for
two or three generations between the
Hill and Drew families. Mrs. Colt and
Miss Hill are great friends, but as vet
the latter has made no plans to turn
her talents to account. She is presi-

ACCUS[DOf TAKING
DEAD FRIfND'S D'SCOlN
Railr0adman Sought by Police
on Complaint Made by Sui-
cide'S Widow
Charged With Theft of Money
Left in Saloon During a
Nights Debauch

Out of the issuance of warrant by
Police Judge Weller yesterday for the
arrest of John L. Sullivan on a charge
of felony embezzlement there developed
story of tragic interest. The COM
planning witness was Mrs. Lulu Fisher,
1881 Eighteenth street, widow Of Fred
Dexter Fisher, who committed sui
eide by shooting in a room in the
Hotel Irwin the morning of March 3.
Fisher and Sullivan belonged to the
brotherhood of railroad trainmen. They
started to do the tenderloin" the night
of March . and late in the evening were
in the High Life saloon 166 Eddy
street, where they began to open wine
to every one at the bar, Fisher holding
himself responsible for the bill. Fisher
was induced by Sullivan to leave s400
and his gold watch for safe keeping in
the saloon, and later was taken to a
room at the Hotel Irwin. Sullivan
was arrested for intoXication and was
released in a few hours.
When Fisher awoke the morning of
March he complained of having been
robbed and in a fit of despondency
killed himself. When sullivan saw
from the evening papers that Fisher
had committed suicide he went to the
High Life saloon and demanded the
$500 and the gold watch. The sa-
loon keeper deducted $3.50 for a wine
bill and handed Sullivan $3.50 and the
watch.
The widow learned that Sullivan had
obtained the money and watch and
when a demand was made upon him
he gave up the watch. but asserted
that he had been held up and robbed
of the money. The widow placed the
matter in the hands of Attorney Edward
j. Lynch, who notified the police. Sui
livan is believed to have left the city.
