CASE WAS BROUGHT
IN WRONG COURT
Judge Raymond Directs
Jury to Find Verdict
in Holmes Suit.

Basi1g his decision on that of the
Supreme court of the state of West
Virginia in a similar case, Judge VIII
liam S. Raymond. yesterday on mo-
ton OF counsel for the defense, m
structsd the jury 10 bring in a yer.
dict for the defendant in the damage
suit of Holmes against the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad after a lengthy ar
gument by counsel for borh sides last
ing through several sessions OF the
Circuit court.
The point OF law in controversy was
whether the suit should have been
brought under the state lay, which
had been invoked, or under the Fed
eral Employers Liability Law as
claimed by the attorneys for the de-
PENDANT.
Many citations were made by ths
attorneys for both sides, instances OF
what were claimed to be similar cases
passes upon by the courts of this and
many other states as well as by the
United States Supreme court, but the
court ruled that the decision made by
the Supreme court of the state of Wesi
Virginia in Fortney VS.. the Coal and
Coke Railway company furnished the
precedent upon which the motion was
allowed. This case had not been men,
toned by either side.
In this case, train made up in
Elkins, W. Va, for Charleston, w.
Va. contained thirty-three cars. of
which nine had come from another
state. Crossing West Virginia the
freight engine blew up, killing the en-
gineer, fireman ald student fireman.
After fight on other legal technicali-
ties, the Supreme court decided that
the presence Of the nine cars in the
train was evidence that interstate
commerce was carried on in that in
stance, therefore the suit should have
been brought under the federal law.
The similarity OF the Holmes case
lies in the fact that the car which
caused the death of Walter Holmes
was placed in a train made up at Graf.
ton but composed also of other cars
coming from Cumberland, Md.
Motion to appeal was filed by James
A. Meredith and Harry Shaw, the at
torneys for the plaintiff, which will
be argued later.
In explanation OF the delay in get
ting to this suit. which was filed late
in December, 1912, almost two years
after the casualty, which happened in
June, 1916. it is understood that up
until this term of court, criminal as
well as civil suits had been tried in
the Circuit court and under the law,
criminal cases had to be tried first
which left large number of civil
cases on the docket. At the beginning
of this term of court there were one
hundred and six jury cases to be tried.

The open charge made by Cox had
an object. That was to draw public
attention. II possible from the dis
astrrous facts Of the Wilson admin
istration and Wilson himself. Cox
went to Washington and took orders.
He was a little Wilson when he came
from the conference with the presi-
dent. He confessed 1t when he stult-
flied himself and his newspaper by
his flop to the Wilson league of ma
lions. It did not require, any great
length Of time to make pl,lin to dem
ocrat leadership that the people were
opposed to the Wilson league. sick

that they are thinking and talking of
the shameful waste and extravagance
OF the war expenditures ard the fall
ure to deliver that which the people
had paid and overpaid for again and
again. So something had 10 be done.
The attention Of the public must be
diverted.

lean people are quick to seize upon a
new sensation. Cox attempted to give
them the sensation, to set them talk
ing and thinking about som ething else
In politics except the Wilson admin
istration and Cox as the trrand boy
OF Wilson. The Wilson administra-
tion and the Cox campaign were too
much in the light. SO they started a
smoke on a vacant lot and yelled fire.

reflected in retail circles. The pur-
chasing disposition of consumers,
however, has undergone an unmis-

counts for the liquidation of some
