Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railway Co. v. Nail

CONNER, Chief Justice.

On the night of the 6th of March, 1899, Mary F. Nail, wife of appellee, became a passenger on a mixed train of appellant going from Whitesboro to Denison. At Ray yards the train became separated, and a short distance therefrom the detached part ran into the forward section, producing a collision which threw appellee’s wife upon the floor of the car, and for the personal injuries thus caused plaintiff instituted this suit. A trial before a jury on November 18, 1899, resulted in a verdict and judgment in appellee’s favor for $9250, to reverse which this appeal is perfected.
