Paralyzed by railroad suit contrast in Dumas case and later evidence
A 1903 Dumas suit against the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railway for injuries claims severe paralysis. In later affidavits and testimony other witnesses describe Dumas as active and ambulatory, contradicting the initial doctor's prognosis. The article compares multiple cases of alleged lifelong paralysis from rail accidents and notes inconsistent evidence and outcomes.
