being the same in each. The plaintiffs
alleged that they tagged the after
noon passenger at Garys, but that the
train, although it recognized the flag
and slowed down, failed to stop. They
wanted to come to NeWberry to attend
a meeting of Woodmen of the World
and to attend to some other business,

stop for them they walked on to New

saw no signal given by the young men
in the nature of flag. The jury re-
turned verdicts for the defendant The
plaintiffs were represented by Messrs.
Hunt, Hunt & Hunter, and the defend
ant by Messrs W. H. Lyles, Fred. H.

of James S. Gillian, on Mr.. Jno. C.
Hipp's Old Town plantation, and that
Mr. W. Frank Hipp had agreed to pay
him 5000 for his services in connec-
ton with the case. Mr.. Hipp con-
tended that he saw Mr.. Dominicl, at
the request Of the negroes, and that

to make the arrangements with Mr..
Dominick. The jury sustain ed Mr..
Dominick's contention and gave him a
verdict for the full amount asked. The
plaintiff was represented. by Mr., Eu-1
gene S. Blease and the defendant by.
