Peters right eye was injured IN

emrloyed as a brakeman on the

substantial damages for the injury.
Three years later Peters appeared
at the claim department of the

the crew of the car. Names OF
other passengers were noted as
witnesses. Peters had insisted on
medical attention, and the report Of
an attending surgeon was attached
to his claim. The company settled.
He followed this with success

months as many as six. Records
produced in court at his trial
