Brooklyn Standard Union June 13, 1929 Courts LOSES DAMAGE SUIT FOR INJURIES WHEN BROKER’S CAR HIT Chauffeur Says He Gave Plaintiff Lift Without Employer’s Permission Riverhead, L. I. June 13.—A suit of $2,500 personal damages brought by Silvia CERRETA, of 111 Cooper street, Brooklyn, against Sherman B. JOOST, Wall street broker and Mayor of Quogue, L. I., was dismissed by County Judge George H. FURMAN yesterday. CERRETA had been given a lift in one of JOOST’s automobiles, driven by the JOOST chauffeur Martin FINLAY, April 4, 1928. The automobile hit a tree on the Montauk highway near Bay Shore and CERRETA suffered some bad cuts and bruises. But FINLAY testified today that he had no right giving ride in one of the JOOST cars without the permission of Mr. JOOST, and that he did not have such permission when he offered CERRETA the ride. On this ground the judge dismissed the case. Transcribed for http://www.bklyn-genealogy-info.com/ (Brooklyn Info Pages) byMargaret Ransom
