Supreme Court Says Railway Must Settle Holman Claim
In Des Moines on June 3 the Iowa Supreme Court affirmed lower court rulings in the Omma Holman case against Omaha and Council Bluffs Railway and Bridge Co. The jury awarded $12,000 damages for injuries when an electric car halted suddenly, throwing Holman against a railing and causing fatal injuries. The plaintiff’s death during appeal led to the administrator of the estate being substituted. The appeal contended the action started after the statute of limitations, but waiver by Superintendent Dimmeck bound the company, leaving the $12,000 verdict intact.
