warmly contested in the Roan
iuptrior court and is peculiar. Th -jnryjgjre
a verdict for $15,000
damage to the estate for the killing
of Will .Tumea in the collusion on
the Western road. Jude Starbnck
decided as a point of 1 iw that the
West-rn North Carolina Rai'rmd ie
oot responsible for the accident un
der the management of tbe Southern
Railway. This purtically non-suits
the James's and they appeal to th.
Supreme ccurt while the Railroad
company appeal aleo on the ground
that ihe verdict ia exorbitant. S
