Court of Appeals affirms railroad liability in assault case
The Kansas City Court of Appeals yesterday affirmed a circuit court judgment against the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific Railway Company in a suit brought by Eugene L Randall. The case concerned an incident aboard a Rock Island train where Mattie E Randall, wife of Randall, was forcibly removed from the car after her ticket from Denver to Kansas City expired. The court found the conductor’s call to a policeman unnecessary force, deeming the conduct an outrage and violence without excuse. The railroad can be liable if force used by staff is wanton or malicious.
