Damages Sought Under Employers' Liability Act at Terra Cotta
Two suits filed in the District Supreme Court seek damages for the Terra Cotta wreck of December 30. George W. Vines, administrator of Barrell F. Legg, asks $25,000 under the employers' liability act, with a second count for $10,000 if the larger amount is barred. William P. Bohrer, administrator of Corrinne Moerie Bohrer, seeks $10,000. The cases challenge the act's constitutionality, following Judge Speer's ruling on a related Georgia case.
