Verdict awards 1500 to plaintiff in 10000 suit
Damijian Ryonkouvas of this city won 1500 in a Superior court verdict yesterday in the 10000 damages suit brought by Rronktovias against Albert Falk of this city. The jury deliberated briefly after the accident on June 20, 1917, when Ryonkouvas, riding a bicycle on Pembroke street, was knocked from his wheel allegedly by Falk’s negligently driven motor truck. Falk denied negligence. The witness Ryonkouvas was allowed to show the jury the bumps on his head. The day was hot with a thunder shower in the evening.
