Dear Sir:-
- Referring to recent oorresyondence in respect to the above
case.

I now attach for your inspection and further investigation
correSpondence showing result of our investigation, in which you
will note thmt the trunk covered by local check 0-521754 was check-
ed at Winchester, Ky. for whiteehurg, Ky., and forwarded on Train

- ho. 1, July 11th, 1914, in which haggagenan, F. J. Barns shows
this piece as a zinc trunk on Line 13, as delivered at WL 179,
which is shown in Colwml 6 of mic report, which I ma attaching
for your inspection, but in Column 5 you will note that he has
Whitesburg ditto. This piece together with letter evidently cov—
ered by Register nabel 95l50? was delivered, signed by Fields
with K mark in front of it.

If the Agent at Whitesburg is not able to furnish you with
any infuriation, it night be well to place thertotter in the hands
of ;r. Hardesty and let hm; investigate the case immediately. I
believe it would be best tor you to retumz the papers to me at
your earliest convenience with whatever infonnution you may be
able to obtain, so that we can send than all to} r.? oonnun, -
Assistant Liotriot Attorney, as per his letter of April 12th,
which is one of the enclosures, attaching copy of petition in

Lexington, Kentucky.
Dear Sir:- I
In Re suit 5. H. Hart vs. Lexington & Eastern
Ry. L30., now pending in Letcher Quarterly Court:
You will note in this case that Mr. Hart sues
for $70.00 fa loss of trunk and contents. Mr. Hart holds
a check for this trunk from Winchester - W. L. 20, to
Whitesburg, Ky. No. 6521754. It seems that the trunk
was delivered to the L. & E. at Winchester. By refer-
ence to petition in this case which was sent to you some
few days back, you will note that the plaintiff claims
$70.00 and itemizes in it the articles in the trunk. You ,
will note that check numoer is also given in the petition.
I have seen the Agent here and he says the trunk did not
arrive at Whitesburg and have been unable to locate it.
If this trunk cannot be located, it looks like We might ~
as well settle this case. Hart and his attorney have
agreed with me to accept $60.00 and the defenoant to pay
the costs, which will amount to $3. or 34. up to this time.
Please let me hear from you as soon as you well can, relat»
ive to this matter.
Yours very tnu1y5
