SURVIVING SPOUSE HOLDS
LEGAL RIGHTS IN CORPSE

A railway company is responsible in
damages for the mental pain and
anguish suffered by a bereaved hus-
band if a car of the company negli-
gently collides with a hearse convey
ing the body of the wife for burial.
This is the purport of decision rem
dered today by Justice Siddons of the
District Supreme Court. overruling q
demurrer of the Washington Railway
and Electric Company to a suit to re-
cover $4,000 damages filed by Adolf
phus Conner.
The court held that though the COM
mon law did not recognize any prop
erty right in dead body, the weight
of authority IN this country appears
to uphold a legal right in the sur
viving spouse to have the dead body
for its preservation or burial, and that
when that right was invaded the per-
son aggrieyed may recover dam
ages.
1t was admitted that no reckless
ness was to be imputed to the rail-
road company. but the court declared
that the right of action still remained
to the husband because of the alleged
negligence.
A car of the company collided with
a hearse in which the body of comer's
wife was being carried on 2d street
southwest March % last The coffin
was thrown to the street. the corpse
unshrouded and the body exposed. il
was charged. The husband sued the
railroad company and the firm of John
T. Rhines L. Co, undertakers.
The case will now be submitted to
a jury on the question of negligence
and for the amount to be recovered,
If any.

ward this percentage basis. They be-

In opposition to this attitude of the
majority membership of the commit

a return to the time -honored fifty

upon the District taxpayers to two
