Deny New Trial In $200000 Damage Suit
Superior Court Judge Albert R. Owens denied a motion for a new trial in a $200000 damage suit filed by Charles A. Lawrence of Whitcomb Heights against the Pennsylvania Railroad. Lawrence lost a leg Dec 6 1956 near West Terre Haute after being struck while lying unconscious beside a spur to a brick plant. The jury awarded the railroad, and the motion for a new trial followed. The court struck an addendum citing the death of a court reporter as preventing a transcript for appeal. Lawrence's lawyers included Jack Mankin. defense counsel were George C. Forrey Thomas H. Hicks and others.
