Appeals Court Sustains
Verdict in Market Injury

The United States Court OF Ap-
peals today sustained a $750 verdict
in favor of George G. Richards,
retired Navy Yard empIoye, 18
NICHOLSON street NV, who had
charged that the District govern
ment was negligent in permitting
ice water in a clogged drain at
Eastern Market, causing him to slip
on the wet floor and be injured.
Mr.. Richards brought suit In Dis
-trict Court against the District Of
Columbia and John r. Stone, lessee
of a stand at Eastern Market where
he conducted a seafood business.
The court was told that the acci-
dent occurred on July 2, 1896. Mr..
Richards was represented by At
torneys William Wendell, John A.
We'll and Richard w. Oliver. After
a District Court jury awarded him
$3.50 for the broken tarm and other
injuries he sustained the District
government appealed, denying any
negligence on the part of the
municipality.
Today's decision was written by
Associate Justice Wiley Rutledge,
who considered the case with Asso-
cite Justices Harold M. Stephens
and Fred M. Vinson.
