Railroad Overruled in Appellate Decisions by Supreme Justices
The Court of Appeals with Justice McComas led several rulings. It upheld the United States right to sue the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad for penalties under the 186 act, and reversed a lower ruling that suits could only be filed in district courts. Other opinions sustained dismissals and affirmed verdicts in cases involving the Junior Order of United American Mechanics, real estate heirship, conspiracy charges, elevator injuries, and patent appeals, with Justice Duell authoring multiple opinions.
