$250000 Injury Suit Dismissed
The U S District Court of Southern West Virginia dismissed a $250000 personal injury suit against the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway Company after defense counsel moved for dismissal at the end of prosecution testimony. Plaintiff James D Crawford claimed a July 22 1964 accident at Whitestick Street when a train struck him. Crawford testified he could not remember much about the incident. Defense argued the railroad owned the right of way and Craw ford was not supposed to be there. Plaintiff’s counsel argued the railroad failed to maintain the right of way and brush blocked the engineer’s view. Jurors were excused until 9:30 a m Tuesday for the next case involving Holstein Chevrolet Inc. and a guardian against alleged infant gasoline-fire injury.
