Show M.ti3. Avery D. Futnam, whose husband wa3 killed by Foster the "car-hook murderer," wasn't satisfied satisfi-ed with the hanging of the murderer. Indeed she protested again-t his being lump, and there were some who were wicked enough to charge that she made a nice little sum of money Inner In-ner protect. She lias since then kept watch of the main chance, at all event-?, and has just recovered $5,000 damages from the Street Railroad Company, in whose car Putnam met Foster. The point made was that the deceased came to his death from negligence neg-ligence of the company's employes in not interfering to protect him by ejecting Foster as soon as he was discovered dis-covered to be drunk. This decision makes it the duty of street car conductors con-ductors to atteud to the comfort oX their passengers rather more than has been customary heretofore, or deemed obligatory. A drunken man may now expect to bo hustled out of street ears without ceremony. |
