PLAINTIFF GETS $1,OOO VERDICT

Carme1o Carriero of Garfield. N. J., administrator of the estate of Vim cenzo Carriero, received s1,000 by a verdict brought in by a Superior court jury yesterday in the damage suit brought against John Schultz of Stamford. The case was heard before Judge John F. keeler, and was the outcome of the death of Vincenzo Carriero, who was struck by the de- fendant's automobile as he ahghted from a Stamford trolley, Sept. 2S, 1919.
 Schultz was alleged to be speeding and driving otherwise in a negligent manner, while the defense claimed that the deceased a1ighted from the wrong side of the car. The decision proves that it is risky business at- tempting to pass standing trolleyS upon either side until it is certain all passengers have alighted or gotten on board.
