SCHWA RTz JETS
FULL PAY Ii nj
WELL KNOWN TRAVELLING MAN
RECEIVES CHECK FOR YER
DICT IN DAMAGE SUIT

A check for $4,000, the full amount
of the judgment given him in his dam
age suit against the c. O.. & K. G.
railroad for personal injuries suffered
in wreck, has been received by G. w.
Schwartz, the we'll known Ottumwa
travelling man. The receipt of the check
by Mr.. Schwartz closes case that
was bitterly fought: Mr.. Schwartz
suffered permanent injuries to his hip
and knee in wreck at Trenton, Mo-,
on June 10, 1908. Mr.. Schwartz says
he awaited payment on his claim un.
til April 16, 1910, and then he sued
the @. o. & K. c. road at Trenton for
$4,000. A change Of venue was taken
to Liberty, Mo-, and continuance was
granted the company until November
80, 1910, when the case came up for
trial. Two days of bitter warfare be-
tween four railroad attorneys and two
lawyers representing Mr. Schwartz,
ended when the jury returned Yer.
dict for $4,000. A motion for new
trial filed by the railroad was argued
March 81, 1911, and overruled, and
Mr.. Schwartz's claims the verdict
should have been paid in June, 1911.
An appeal was made by the O., o. &
K C. road and all facts in the case
were ready for submission to the Kan
sas City court of appeals, when The at.
torneys for Mr.. Schwartz were advised
that payment of the verdict would be
forthcoming soon. Mr.. Schwartz be,
lieves that the defendant company
was apprised of his preparation to file
charges of perjury against one of the
company's witnesses, and this hurried
the settlement.
