CASE AGAINST C. v. RAILWAY.


The Windham county case OF James
Griffith against the Boston & Maine
railroad took up most OF the time in
supreme court yesterday This case
was entered Feb, 23. l9ll, and was heard
at the May term Of that year, when a
verdict was awarded the plaintiff, but
exceptions were filed by the de-
| fendant and motion made to set
aside the verdict.
The plaintiff testified that in January
1911, he and two other men, who were
employed on the West River bridge at
Brattleboro were ordered by superior
to walk from one end OF the bridge to
the other; that while they were on
the bridge train appeared and that al
though one man reached the aboutment
and escaped without injury, and second
was able to jump when near an abut-
ment, he was struck by the train and
knocked off the bridge, causing injuries
which form the basis Of this suit.
Attorney Bacon, for the plaintiff, ar
gued yesterday that the rule that trains
should not exceed four miles an hour
in crossing the bridge had been dsre-
customed to cross at speed OF 10 to
20 miles an hour. He stated the men
employed on the bridge knew the speed
limit allowed and knew ii a train should
approach at that speed there would be
time for them to reach place Of safe.
ty; that Engineer Harvey OF the train
knew the orders and disregarded them,
not only this time but many times. It
was alleged the train that struck Griffith
was running 20 miles an hour, and that
the officials Of the road knew how Har
vey was disobeying orders and should
have discharged him therefor.
J. a. Sargent closed for the defend
ant company, claiming that Griffith had |
worked on the job for several months
and knew all the risks Incurred thereby, /!
the speed OF trains, etc; also that no |
had ever been received Of /
negligence on the part OF Harvey. The |
company also contends that Harvey was
not engineer on some of the trains which |
,he witnesses alleged were driving in
.xceess OF speed. Il is the claim of the
defendant the mere fact that Harvey !
vas running over four miles an hour
cross the bridge on the day the aeci-
lent occurred did not make him habit
iriffith would not have had time to es-
ape had the train been running but
our miles an hour, as Mr.. Sargent said
he plaintiff saw ii when he was in the
enter Of the bridge and before the train
cached the structure, as the man
gas seen running.
