Charles P. Webber, Brookline lumberman, was awarded $13,500 in Dedham Court yesterday. His attorney J. B. Ruggles said a motion for a new trial would be filed at once and the case would go to the Supreme Court on exceptions if needed.
The jury awarded damages for the estate of Harriet FE Lambertson of Lansing Michigan. The 64 year old cousin of Mr Webber testified just before her death that Webber tried to embrace her in Brookline on January 18 1913 causing her to fall down cellar stairs and break a leg. Webber’s witnesses claimed Lambertson recanted before filing suit.
The case contends drinking water access and a misentry led to a fall on cell stairs. It argues Brights disease caused death rather than the broken leg. The suit, filed for 25000 by Mrs Lamberston and continued by her daughter Frances Crumb, administratrix, seeks damages while alleging meritless accusations against Mr Webber.
Professor Dugald C. Jackson of the Institute of Technology and adviser to the Massachusetts Highway Commission applies to serve Detroit as an electrical expert in the city’s fight against the Bell Telephone Company of Michigan.
