while Riding on Platform.
Street car companies are not to be held
responsible for accidents received by pas
sengers while riding on platforms Of cars,
according to the opinion OF Justice Van
Orsdel, or the Court Of Appeals Of the
District, in affirming the Judgment Of the
District Supreme Court in the case Of
Sullivan against the Capital Traction
Company.
Sullivan. who was employed IS a car
penter in the navy yard. was standing on
the platform Of a closed trailer with his
back TO the front dash. He was thrown
between the two cars. the wheels cut
ting of his arm, when the car entered
the curve at the foot Of Capitol Hill.
Sullivan claimed that the car was going
too fast, but the jury gave verdict in
favor Of the company.
The case was appealed Justice Van
Orsdel holds that In the case Of a passen-
ger being hurt while riding on a platform
no presumption arises that the accident
was due to negligence on the part of the
company.
