Judge 3. H. Wilson,
General Counsel L. & E. Ry. Co.,
Boxington, Ky.
Dear Sir:—

I am in receipt of yours of the 29th, and same would
have been answered sooner but in some way it became misplaced
on my desk.

I believe in this case that a motion to quash would
not reach it as we must net up in some sort of fleadirj the
correct name of the company. It is not like the ordinary mo—
tion to quash the process. The Code provides that we can on-
1y do this by setting up and giving the correct name.

I am herewith handing you.my office eupy of a brief
in which I recently had this question in Wolfe County. Kindly
return this to me as it is the only one I have.

If you think we can reach it by the motion as sug:
gested in your postscript, kindly prepare the motion as ye)
would want it, send it to me and.l will have it entered.

If you_deeide to adopt the one heretofore suggested
by me have Mr. Gary swear to the plea which 7 sent you.

Kindly let me hear from you as soon as possible about
this as our Court begins Monday.

Yours very tr‘.Y. ;;7 /ﬁ\

VS:- PLEA IN ABATEMVHT. .

Now comes the Lexington & Eastern Railway Company and,
without entering its appearance to this action, and without admit
ting the jurisdiction of this court, of the Lexington & Eastern
Railway Company in same, or the subject matter of same, and with—
out pleading to the merits of this action, but solely by way of
plea in abatement says that there is no such corporation, known to
it, as the "Lexington & Easter; Railroad Company”. It says that
the Lexington & Eastern Railway Company is a corporation created
under and pursuant to the laws of Kentucky, with its princigal
office at Lexington,Kentucky; that Arthur Cary is its President
and Chief Officer and resides in Lexington,Kentucky, and that its
true and corporate name is the "Lexington & Eastern Railway Com~
pany", and not the "Lexington & Eastern Railroad Company." It
says that process in the action of "Will James v. 'Lexington &
Eastern Railroad Company" has been executed upon the agent of the
"Lexington & Eastern Railway Company" in Winchester, Kentucky, and
the return on same reads as follows:—

"Executed the Within summons Feb. 5rd,

1915, by delivering to I. N. Puckett, chief

agent of the L. & E. R. R. Co., for this coun—

ty, a true copy thereof.

‘ W. O. Erock, S.C.C.
By J.D.Bush,D.S."

 -2_

The undersigned says that I. N. Puckett is the chief
officer of the "Lexington & Eastern Railway Company" in Winches-
ter, Clark County, Kentucky, but is not the agent of the L. & E.
R. R. Co.

Wherefore, the Lexington & Eastern Railway COmPany

, prays that the process herein and the return thereon be quashed,
and that it be adjudged not before this court in this action.
LEXINGTON & EASTERN RAILWAY CO.

Affiant, Arthur Cary, says that he is the President
and chief officer of the Lexington & Eastern Railway Company
and that the above statements are true as he believes.

PEz~ Will James v. E. & E. R. R. Co.
March 29th, 1915.
Judge 8. H. Wilson,
Gen. Counsel n. & B. By. Co.,
Lexington,}Qn
Dear Sir:-

I have heretofore sent you a cOpy of the petition
in the above case. You will notice that James has sued the
Lexington a Eastern Railroad Co., when our corporate name is
the hexington & Eastern Railway Co.

The process was issued against the L. & E. Rwy. Co.
and eyeeuted upon Hr. Puckett, and the return readﬂas shown in
the plea whioh I ma herewith handing you. Under this state of
case I do not think we should stand by and fail to answer and
let judgment go against the L. & E. Railroad Go.

You might examine the case of University of Louis—
ville v. Hammock, 160 S. Va 218, also the case of Heckman's adm.
v. L. & N. 4 S. N' 542. You will notice in the last case that
our Court of Appeals quoted iron First National Bank of Baltintre
v. Jaggers as follows:—

"There is no doubt that when a party is sued by

the wrong name, and he appears to the suit, and does
not plead the misnomer in abatement, and judgment is
rendered against him in the erroneous name, execution
may be issued upon it in that name, and levied upon
the property and effects of the real defendant; but
there is some conflict in the decision whether the
same result will follow if he does not appear, and the
judgment is obtained by default. The weight of au—
thority is, however, that this makes no difference;
and if the writ is served on the party intended to be
sued, and he fails to appear and plead in abatement,
and suffers judgment to be obtained by default, he is
concluded, and in all further litigatiuns may be con—
nected with the suit or judgment by prOper averments."

I would also refer you to Thompson on Corporations, Third
Volume, Sections 3188 and 5199, under the heading "A misnomer must
Be Plead In Abatementn"

I believe it will be a little too risky to sit quietly
by and allow judgment to be obtained and then to attempt to set it

 #2. Judge 3. H. Wilson.
t
aside or enjoin the collection on the ground that the judgment
was against the Lexington & Eastern RailTO‘ﬁ Co. when the proof
will show that the agent ofthe L. & E. Ry. Co. was served with
process anﬂ that the injury, if any, was occasioned by the L.
&. Ea Ry. Co.

I haveo therefore, thought that the best thing to 60
would he to file a plea in abatement, which I believe will he sus—
tained and will thus take the case over until Septemher. I sue—
pect by that time the plaintiff, who is a negro, will have tired
out or left the country.

If you think we should file this plea in abatement
you can have Mr. Gary swear to it anﬁ return to he, or you are
at perfect liberty, of course, to make whatever changes you
wish in the matter.

Yours very tpnjy,I//j I /

man boarded train with ticket to Tallega,dy.,and after I had taken up
and cancelled ticket I found that this man had with higﬁambggggtmcon—
taining about 5 or 4 gallons of rhiskey. I told this passenger that
he could not carry the whiskey on thatrain,that he would havg to put
it off. I stopped train about 15 car lengths north of station and
when he got off he asked me for his ticket which I returned to him.
This colored man also had some bottles of whiskey sticking out of
coat pockets; also two pint bottles of boer,whioh he left on train.
There being only two passengers in colored compartment of coach the

'Inclosed I an herewith. handing you a copy of the

haVe this process quashed at the .’april term of Court, by
proper motion and disclosing the true name of our crrmany.
This will avail us nothing except to be able, in this way,
to put the case off until the September term uhﬁch would. give
