Hackworth v. Chesapeake & O. Ry. Co.

District Court, E.D. Kentucky

Decided July 23, 1946No. 138Published

1Opinion of the Court

SWINFORD, District Judge.

The motion for a new trial should be overruled. The plaintiff’s brief cites the following cases on which he relies, but I do not believe, in the light of the Kentucky decisions, the Court erred in sustaining the defendant’s motion for a directed verdict at the close of all evidence: Sims’ Adm’r v. Chesapeake & O. Ry. Co., 140 Ky. 241, 130 S.W. 1081; Stuart’s Adm’r v. Nashville, C. & St. L. Ry. Co., 146 Ky. 127, 142 S.W. 232; Louisville, C. & L. Ry. Co. v. Goetz’s Adm’x, 79 Ky. 442, 42 Am.Rep. 227; and Louisville & N. R. Co. v. Clark’s Adm’r, 105 Ky. 571, 49 S.W. 323.
