In the United States district court
Judge Smith has rendered an opinion
remanding the case Of Edward B
Price, administrator, against the
Southern Power company and the Ca
tawba company back to York county
for trial. The case grows out of the
killing of boy by live wire for
which the responsibility Is placed be-
tween the defendant corporations. The
Southern Power company. a North
Carolina concern, had the case moved
to the Federal court and the plaintiff
has now had 1t remanded back. since
the PLAINTIFF and one of the defendants
are residents of South Carolina. The
Judge finds no evidence to sustain the
claim that the Catawba' company Is
fraudulently Joined with the Southern
Power company, in order to have one
of the defendants an alien concern and
afford cause for the transfer Of the
case to the Federal court. The suit Is
for $4,000.
