Malcolm Damage Suit Goes to Jury Today
This morning at 9 o clock closing arguments concluded in Sherman Malcolm versus the Pennsylvania Company for ten thousand dollars in damages. The jury soon retired amid speculation on a verdict or disagreement. The plaintiff, aided by L M Ninde and Randall Vesey, was injured December late when a locomotive crown sheet burst, throwing him from the cab. The case hinges on crown sheet weakness from a prior collision at Crestline and mud on the sheet. Defense contends the boiler was clean and the accident resulted from low water. Expert testimony on explosion causes was presented by Potter Stephans and others, with roadmen including Engineer Jackson adding practical input. Also, Mr O J Willson to succeed Master Mechanic Morris temporarily as Wabash master mechanic.
