DEFENSE
Thomas N. Weeks, Esq, opened the
case for the defense. He took up va
rious branches relative to due care
and also the negligence and brought
out points of law relative to railroad
crossings. He claimed that no failure
on the part of the railroad should pre-
vent Mr.. Ham from paying attention.
and that the binder crossing, the
more the duty of the traveller to in
vestigate. He claimed no. excessive
speed on the part of the train because
they were just getting started also
that the engineer was on the lookout
and saw nothing. He claimed the
bell on the engine was ringing and
that the bushes did not contribute to
the accident because the train was by
the bushes before the auto occupants
could have seen the train at all.
Eleven witnesses were called for the
defense and John Burleigh was the
first witness in his capacity as civil
engineer. He described the map he
had made of the station surroundings.
