A Good Record.
The Journal has frequently referred
to the fact that Judge Ramsey's raw s
appealed to the Supreme Court were
nearly all afllrmed.
A Journal reporter lias looked
the record of his cases reported in tin
5'J, 00, CI and C2 Nebraska reports and
finds the following record:
Number cases taken to the Supreme
Court, 32; alllrmed 27; reversed 5. A
record, lawyers say) unequalled any
where. Perhaps the most famous case
he tried while on the bench was
Thompson vs. The Missouri Pacific
Railroad (kimpany a suit for .Vkkuo
damages caused by the alleged negli
gent killing of Amos Thompson, a
brakeman, at Union. This case was
first tried by Judge Chapman and a
pcrmptory instruction gave the case
to the railroad.
Matthew Gering, attorney for I be
widow and fatherless children, at his
own expense, carried the case to the
Supreme Court where he secured a ie.
vcrsal. At the next trial Judge Itam
sey was on the bench and the Jury wive
a verdict for $4000.00 to the widow
and children.
The company appealed to the Su
preme Court and secured a reversal n
an alleged error in an Instruction con
cerning "comparative negligence'
Judtfe Stull, of Auburn, next tried the
case, and after deliberating for lil'iy
three hours the Jury failed to iii ft:
and were discharged. Promptly, Mr.
Gering filed a motion for a new tri;il
at the same term of court, which w is
sustained by Judge Itamsey, and thus
for the fourth time this case was on
trial in the district court of C-us-i
county. Attorneys Waggoner and
Orr, of Kansas City, and Judge Sulli
van and C. S. Polk, of Plattsmouth,
appeared for the company, and the un
whipped Gering. alone, appearing for
the widow and children. It was a
battle royal a gigantic corporation
against a penniless widow and father
less children. The verdict of t he ju ry
was for all that was claimed .ywo.n.
Again the company went to the Su
preme Court and for the third time
that court passed upon the case and
the lower court was affirmed and a re
hearing denied. Judge Ramsey'-
friends and they are universal are
proud of his record
