Court Remarks Infer Excess Speed Not Cause of Fatal Run Down
Judge Archibald concludes that Pletcher's death was not due to car speed and says a cross street procession by boys was not the cause. He states the incident would occur even at safe speeds and rejects the idea that the motorman should have anticipated a procession. The ruling upholds the non-salt rule in the case.
