Supreme Court rules on alleged invalid ordinances and train injury case
The Wake county case Andrews versus Seaboard Air Line confirms the high court denial of a suit by a minor against the railroad after a boy was hurt while riding a train and knocked from a freight car by overhead bridge supports in Raleigh.

The decision also sustains a verdict awarding Melvin Williams compensation for loss of sight after gasoline splashed into his eye at work, with evidence linking irritation to eventual blindness, in a suit Williams versus J Marvin Thompson and National Casualty Company.
