Edward Lagoy, as Administrator, etc., of Nelson Lagoy, Deceased, Appellant, v. The Director-General of Railroads and Agent Designated by the President of the United States under Section 206 of the Transportation Act of 1920,[1] Respondent.

Order affirmed, with costs. All concur, except Hasbrouck, J., dissenting on the ground that the negligence of the defendant found by the jury placed the passenger Lagoy in a situation of great danger which required the exercise of judgment in order to extricate himself; that he erred in judgment is no reason for holding him guilty of contributory negligence.
