Verdict Of $4,000
In Fatality Stands

BALTIMORE. April is P.-
"A Federal judge has refused to
tamper with a jury's verdict that
the owner of a dump truck was
negligent when he allowed a man
who might have been drinking
to drive 1t.
The jury last week awarded
$98, 900 to the widow and three
children of Vernon Weaver. who
was killed when the. truck
crossed the center line of a
street just outside Washington
and collided head-on with his
car.
Damages were assessed against
John L. O'Brien, driver of the
truck, and Thomas F. CLANCY Of
Capitol Heights, the owner.
Federal Judge Roszel C.
Thomson, in a 12-page opinion,
refused Chaney's request that he
pc 1ree0 from uaDllCy unQer the
jury verdict.
The judge said there was evil
dence O'Brien had visited sew
eral taverns the day of the acct
dent.
Chaney's negligence, Judg e
Thomson said, would be that he
knew O'Brien lacked chauf-
feur's license and there was a
likelihood he would drive the
truck under the influence of
alcohol.
The fatal accident occurred in
March, 1854. on Branch avenue
near the intersection of Alabama
avenue.

Chesapeake and Ohio has grown during
