Dear Sir:

Yours of the 24th relative to suit of M. C.
Napier vs. L. & E. Railway Company, Perry Circuit
Court, received.

We tried this case on the day it was set
for trial. In fact, we wound up the whole business
today. Had a hung jury. Five of the jury were for
the defendant. Mr. Hardesty was present and we had
the engineer and fireman. The plaintiff proved by
two witnesses that the train actually struck the

/ mules. However, we succeeded in hanging the jury,

“L g and I am reasonably sure that we will win this case
v i

5 in the end.

‘ I have instructed Mr. Hardesty how to get
some additional information relative to this case,
and I think with the added information we will have
no trouble.

Very truly yourstw

Your wire of this date advising me that the suit of M.C.

that I need not come unless I want to, was receives and I am re~
plying that it would be impossible for me to come to Hessré on that
date, but that you should, by all means, have ﬁr. Esrdesty present.
To this I have sﬁaeﬁ the hope that you might su:eeed in defeating
the claim. I also acknowledge receipt of your letter of the lBth
instant,disoussh§:thio mum Suit. Vﬁth Mr.1ﬁuﬂesty‘s aﬁg I
believe you Wil’ be able to Show that the trsinmen did not run '
or chase these animals lor any eons'ferahle eistanee along the

snulderﬁly
track, but that the anhmﬂsexxmﬂdﬁ®§@&ﬁa'rsn on the track next
to the orioge and immeﬁietely in frent of the eneine ane train, ené
that before the train reaohed them they suffered injury in their
efforts to extriotte themselves from the bridge: Notwithstanding
the odds against you, I sincerely here that you may be fortunate
enough to ﬁeiest this claim.

In.this connection, I trust you will keep me navisea of
the oonﬁition of your docket so thrt, ii any Gene of importance is

Mr. demuel K. Eileen,
Lexington, Kentucky.
Deer Sir:

Replying to your letter of the thh inst., with
reference to the ease of K. C. Iapier v. L & B By Co., will
say that we are of tie oyinion that if the plaintiff esteb—
lishes a case ageoraing to the allegations of his getition,
and shows the feet that the mules were chased a distance of
400 yards, then it will he a QUGStiQU Li negligence to be
Submitte” to the jury. Under the Iiokett case, cited by
you in your letter above referred to, we believe this would
be true. In that case the engineer was not Charged with
knowledge; of the l cation of a culvert, but here he would
be energeﬁ with a knowledged of the location of the Briége. -

FTO‘Z’QVQI‘ this may be, Ill“. Hardesty 1; ijay Milnea
us to send him our file in this netter for his further inves—
tigation, which we haVe elreaﬁy done. Ye want to take every
pres ution to defeat this case.

Yours very truly,

The plaintiff, h. C. Napier, says that the
defendant, Louisville 3 Nashville Railroad company, is a
corporation duly organized, created and existing under
and by virtue of the laws of the State of Kentucky, and
as such it is authorized and empowered by its charter to

, contract and to be contracted with, to sue and be sued,

he says that the defendant, Lexington & Eastern
ha11Way Company, is a corporation created, organized and
existing under and by virtue of the laws of the State of
Kentucky, and as such is authorized and empowered by its
charter to contract and to be contracted with, to sue and
to be sued, and to plead and to be impleaded in its cor-
porate name aforeSaid, and that as such it owns, and operates,
together with its co-defendant, Louisville a Nashville Rail-
road Company, a line of railroad in and through Perry county,
Kentucky, over which it runs its freight and passenger trains
in the transportation of freight, passengers, etc.

Plaintiff states that on March lst., 1915 he was
the owner of two mules; and that the defendants, through and
by their agents, serVants and employees on the morning passenger

train on said day ran said mules from near the mouth of
Second Creek in Perry County, Kentucky, on their line of
railway, for a distance of about four hundred yards in to and
on the bridge of said defendant companies known as bridge f4,
and through the carelessness and nqaigence of Said employees
of the defendants in thus running them into said bridge the
said mules were permanently injured; that the defendants‘
train at said time was running at the rate of not more than
six miles per hour and that Same could have been easily
stopped long before it ran said mules into the bridge afore-
said, and because of the failure or the defendants, their
servants aid employees in charge of said train, to use ordi-
nary care to so stOp their train and drive said mules from
the track, and to prevent injuring said mules and as a direct
result of their carelessness and negligence in so operating
said train the said mules were injured as aforeSaid to the
