She was represented by Lee & Molse, wnue ine raiiroau attorneys de fended the claims of Estelle. The case was heard in the probate court and then In the court of common pleas, the trial lasting nearly three days at the recent term. The verdict was In favor of the Sumter widow and Estelle was declared to be no Widow at all. But as she had already received the $350 in full settlement of all claims against the railroad, the A. O. L. was the mourner and not Estelle. After this sad and expensive experience with Estelle it Is rather tough for the railroad to be confronted with more trouble on Estelle's account. But Estelle being injured, and having once had the privilege of spending railroad money, will not let slip so good an opportunity to put a claim for a good big chunk of damage money to ease her pains.
