District Court News Recaps Damages and Wills in DC
Mrs. Rebecca A. Hall was awarded 7140 damages against the Washington Railway and Electric Company after a June 1, 1913 incident in which a track switch caused a fall. The will of James Lithgow Ewin Jr. leaves a trust for two children with the widow as guardian and treasurers as executors. Indictments were returned by the grand jury for robbery and other charges, while a separate will leaves almost all to the wife with a small bequest to a child. The Page bill to connect street railways was sent for commission recommendation amid talks of municipal ownership and unified management.
