Teeth as Fortune in Court for Injured Passenger
Brennan testified before Chief Justice Brown in Municipal Civil Court that a Boston Elevated Railway car hurt him on Blue Hill Avenue last November. A crowded car forced him to ride at the front, a brake handle strike broke a tooth, cutting his earnings and forcing slower cigar finishing. The motorman argued the plaintiff contributed to the accident, and the judge reserved verdict. A separate case by Helen Selby for injuries when alighting from an Elevated car at Dudley Street resulted in a verdict for the defendant.
