Oscar Spencer, by, etc. v. L&N R. Co.
Thomas Spencer v. L&N R. Co. , Perry Circuit Court.
Judge Samuel M. Wilson,
Counsel, Lexington, Ky.
Dear Sir,

I have read the copies of petitions in these two
cases covered by your letters of September 8 to Mr. Moorman.
Mr. Donohue tells me he has forwarded to you the
investigation papers. He thus summarizes the facts in a
memorandum he has made to me:

"The facts in these cases are that Oscar Spencer,
probably twenty years of age, was employed in an extra
gang working near Hombre. On the day of the accident, the
gang worked only about ten minutes, returning to the camp
cars, on account of raihp where the laborers had dinner.
Spencer lived near Hombre, and, after dinner, decided to
go home. He walked a short distance north, on the side of
the main track, and then attempted to cross between two cars
in train No. 50, which were standing on the main track. The
train moved back Just as Spencer placed his foot on the
draw—bars, it was caught between them, and several of the toes
were broken."

Of course, the facts are very different from the
allegations of the petitions. On the facts it would seem
this case is not to be distinguished from Brackett‘s Admr.

v. L&N R Co., 111 SW 710 and the cases there cited; Age‘s
Admr. v. L&N R. Co., 148 Ky. 224; Koke's Admr. v. Andrews
Steel Co., 149 Ky. 650, and cases there cited.

 SMW—2
/

In the petition in the infant's case, on page 4 of the
coPy you send me, it is alleged, "plaintiff says that twelve
months has expired since the accrual of his cause of action
herein." I suppose the pleader meant to allege that twelve
months have no: expired, but he has not done so, if the
copy I have is correct.

I notice it is also alleged in plaintiff's petition
that his injury, among other things, is "annoying." As
I wrote you several days ago in connection with another case,
I do not think the fact that an injury is annoying is an
element of damages. (L&N R. Co. v. Logsdon, 114 Ky. 746),

cause of action herein against the defendant, says

 that he on the __ day of February, 1916, was doing

labor for this defendant at hts special instance and
request in Berry County on its railroad track near

doing the acts and things necessary in the construction
of a concrete culvert for defendant company‘s railroad;

through its foreman in charge of said work on said day,
ordered and directed him to do and perform certain

labors incident to the construction of said culvert, and
defendant, through its foreman, directed plaintiff to
cross its said railroad track to do and perform said

he undertook to so do, and in carrying out its orders, he

that at the time he started across said track, defendant,
through its employee, had upon said track and was Operating

cempany; and he says that the engineer in charge of
said train caused said train to run with so great a

speed on said track toward this plaintiff that he

up to him; that said engineer could have seen this

lacerating the flesh of his foot and also breaking and

crushing each and every bone in said foot, thereby

injuring plaintiff both internally and externally.

plaintiff‘s injury, which injury is of an annoying '

and permanent nature and has greatly lessened ,

believes he ought to recover from this defendant

and proximate cause of his injury, which injury is of

a painful, annoying and permanent nature, and which

ought to recover of this defendant. ,
