CASES OF INTEREST
APPLICATION OF THE FEDER
AL EMPLOYERS' LIABILITY ACT.
The question involved is whether
the injured employe was engaged at
the time in interstate commerce 'so as
to permit the application of tbe Fed
eral Employers' Liability Act. Plain
tiff was employed as conductor on de
fendant's freight trains, carrying al
most exclusively interstate shipments
from Kentucky to Tennessee and be
yond, and vtee versa; -The duties of
plaintiff and his crew confined them,
however, wholly within the state of
Kentucky; their runs being limited
to about 45 miles between the towns
of Paducah and Fulton. On the com
pletion of their runs the trains) were
then taken, up by other crews, who
carried them on through' other states
to their destinations while plaintiff
would take charge of trains found at
Paducah or Fulton, as the case might
be, and bring them back on. the re
turn trip. Plaintiff was injured while
making? a -. return trip from one of
these places, but without any ship
ments of freight whatever. The
train was composed of a fiat car with
a. pile driver upon it belonging to de
fendant company which . was to. be
switched off at an intermediate point,
and also a disabled engine which was
being taken in for repairs. The Su
preme Court of Minnesota, citing sev
eral eminent ; authorities, ' held that
plaintiffs employment was not inde
pendent of interstate commerce so as
to - defeat the application of the1 fed
eral statute. Perry vs. Illinois Cen

DTFEGBin OF JURORS. Dur
ing the course- of the trial It
learned that one of the jurors
being entertained by one .of . plain
tiff's counsel. The court instructed
the juror not to go again to the home
of counsel. Defendant's counsel pro
posed . that "the juror be withdrawn
and agreed to proceed with but eleven
jurors. ... Upon the refusal of this of
fer a mistrial was asked and refus
ed. The Supreme Court of Georgia,
in Alabama Great Southern Railroad
Company vs. Brown, 79 Southeastern
Reporter, 1113, holds that this was
error, though not knowing whether
the, entertainment influenced the Ju
ror or not. Mr. Justice-Hill, in speak
ing of the necessity of preserving the
integrity of juries, said: "From the
time of Magna, Charta all English
speaking peoples have rejoiced in the
declaration that: . 'No freeman shall
be taken or "imprisoned, or be dis
seised . of his freehold, or liberties, r
free customs, or be outlawed, or ex
iled, or otherwise destroyed; nor will
we pass upon him. nor condemn him,
but by lawful judgment of his peers,
or by the low of the land. We will
sell no man; we will not deny or de
fer to any man either justice or right."
By this great charter it was solemn
ly promised that, whether Justice is
demanded from the palaces of the
rich or the cottages of the poor, there
is a guaranty that right and justice
shall be administered without bias, or
prejudice to either party. It was made
known for all time that Jurors, like
the bandaged eyes of justice, shall
neither see nor know either' suitor as
they hold the scales with an even nd
impartial hand."

ASSORTED CELL M-LTES, Dur
ing his sojourn in the Montana peni
tentiary one Stephens spent part f
his time in a cell whose other occu
pant was an insane Italian. Later on,
probably for variety's sake, he shar
ed his cell with a negro. Again he
changed his quarters, this- time to a
dungeon where his -diet was whole
some bread and wet water. -. He was
shackled, manacled, assaulted. ; beat
en, his collar ' bone broken and his
head and chest; cut and bruised. For
these few attentions and the shock to
hia refined sensibilities he asked dam
ages of the warden. The Supreme
Court of Montana in Stephens vs. Con
ley, 138 Pacific Reporter, 188, held
that no damages could be recovered,
it being , shown that the - cells . were
crowded and that it was not known
that the Italian was insane, and that
the punishments were, those provid
ed by the rules and regulations under
the law, and the injuries received
were due to a .riot, in which a guard
was murdered, and to plaintiff's vio
lent conduct, rendering them neces
sary in the guard's self-defense.

"ARISING OUT OP AND IN THE
COURSE OF EMPLOYMENT." The
words "arising out of .and In the
course of employment" are the shoals
that wreck many a personal injury
suit brought under the Workmen's ,
Compensation Act . (St. 1911, c, 751,
as amended by St. 1912, c, 571)." The
Supreme Judicial Court of Massachu
setts recently, in Milliken vs. A. Towle.
& Co., 103 . Northeastern Reporter,
898, applied the above phrase as a
test to a rare set of circumstances.
Milliken, at the time of his death and
for some 27 years before that time,
had been a driver in the employ of
A. Towle St. Co. Some four or five
years before his death plaintiff in the
course of his employment fell from
his wagon, striking on his head. "This
caused inter alia' an impairment of
memory.' On,' Oct 8, 1912, it ap
pears that while driving his wagon to
the stable for the night, which was
part of bis regular .work, he was
seized with such a -loss of memory
and mental faculties that he was un
able to recognize streets and places
and on account of such disordered
mental condition, he became lost and
unable to direct the horse to the sta
ble. -The next morning he was found
lying in a swamp, and, with the ex
ception of his head, covered with mud
and water. He was taken to a hos
pital where he died without recov
ering his memory. The cause of his
death was pneumonia brought on by
cold and exposure while , lying in the
swamp. -Plaintiff brings suit under
the Workman's Compansation Act for
personal injuries. The court says:
"The fact that Milliken , "would not
have met his death as he did but for
the horse and wagon and his effort
to get them to the stable,' goes no
farther than to show that the person
al injury suffered by Milliken was a
personal Injury In the course of his
employment. - The difficulty, in ,the
case arises from' the provision that
the personal injury must be one 'aris
ing out of as well as one In the
course of his employment.-' It was
held In McNicol's Case, 215 Massa
chusetts, 497. 102 N. E. 697, that the
provision limiting the personal injur
ies for which compensation : is to be
made to those "arising out of - the em
ploye's employment means that the
nature and conditions -of the employ
ment must be such that the personal
injury which in fact happened was one
liksly to happen to an employe in
thct employment. In that case it
was said that there must be a 'casual
connection' between the employment
and tlie injury. There is nothing in
the employment of driving 'a wagon
which makes it likely that the em
ploye yrill alight from his' wagon,'
wander to and fall Into a swamp and
lie there all night. .The distinction
between the case at bar and a case
within this clause of the act is well
brought out by what is suggested
by a remark of the majority of the
industrial accident board. If the
horse driven by Milliken had run
away, and Milliken had been thereby
thrown out and killed, the personal
Injury in fact suffered in that case
would have been one which from the
nature of his employment would be
likely to arise, and so would be one
'arising out of his (the employe's)
employment' It seems plain that
