JUDGES CHARGE WRONG;
RAILROAD WINS APPEAL
$1,000 Awarded for Killing of
Fireman.
IFrom n staf Correspondent.I

IFrOm n Staff Correspondence
TRENTON, Nov. 20.-The Supreme
Court today granted a new trial in
the suit of Martin Ruane, administra-
tor for Patrick Ruane, against the
Erie Railroad Company, and at the
same time set aside the judgement OF
the Hudson County Court.
Patrick Ruane was a fireman on
the Erie and was killed october q,
1910, when the boiler of his locomo-
tive exploded. The administrator
brought the suit for $3.50 JOG damages.
The verdict in the Hudson County
Court was for $4,000, and Judge Vail
held this to be excessive and reduced
it to $4,000. The appeal was then
taken by the railroad company.
The judgement is set aside upon
the charge made by the judge to the
jury, which was that it was the
duty of the defendant to see that the
inspection of the boiler was so thor
ough as to disclose any defect, and to
see that the locomotive was kept in
perfect condition as far as human
ability could do so.
Justice Minturn says this charge
was erroneous, since the legal duty
imposed upon the master is limited
to the use of reasonable Ire and
ordinary prudence under the cir
cumstances.
