"The Kansas City Times" (Missouri) Thursday, November 14, 1895 Vina CUSICK was given judgment in the Circuit court yesterday against the Metropolitan Street Railway company in the sum of $5,000 for personal injuries sustained May 24 last by being pushed from an elevated car by the conductor. The suit was for $10,000. The case involved a bitter legal battle, and the only defense offered by the company was that the L road is not a part of the Metropolitan system. Transfer checks were introduced in evidence, however, showing that the elevated system was operated by the Metropolitan system at the time Miss CUSICK received her injuries. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ======================================================
