Circuit Court, Nc. =, Of Washington
before Justice Gould, has awarded
$4,000 damages to William Finch
am against the Washington, AleXan-
dria and Mount Vernon Railway Com
pany.
Fincham was riding along side the
driver of a horse ambulance in June,
1910, when a car OF the company
collided with the team and injured
the plaintiff.
The railroad company claimed the
ambulance was driven onto the track
within ten feet Of an approaching
car. Counsel for the plaintiff claim
ed the car was fifty feet away when
the driver attempted to cross the
track. and urged that the motorman
did not take advantage of his oppor-
tuuty to- stop the car before the
collision.
