Casdorph v. Hines
West Virginia Supreme Court
Error to Circuit Court, Kanawha County. Action by John 0. Casdorph and others, as executors of Caleb Casdorph, deceased, against Walker D. Hines, Director General of Kailroads, for damages for the death of the deceased. Judgment for defendant, and plaintiffs bring error.
1Opinion of the Court
Lynch, Judge:
Caleb Casdorph, while driving his horse and light wagon along Virginia Street in the City of Charleston, attempted to drive over defendant’s railway tracks where they intersect the public road or street, and in doing so, was struck by an east bound passenger train operated by defendant’s agents, his wagon demolished, his horse fatally hurt, and he himself sustained injuries from which he died a few minutes later. His executors sued to recover damages for the injuries, and from a judgment for defendant, directed by the trial court, they have brought the case here for review.
