HANDLER, Appellant, v. METROPOLITAN ST. RY. Co., Respondent.
(Supreme Court, Appellate Term.
June, 1901.)

Headnote

Action by Louis Handler against the Metropolitan Street Railway Company.
David W. Rock-more, for appellant. H. A. Robinson (G. Glenn Worden, of counsel), for respondent.

The plaintiff failed to show either negligence on the part of the defendant or lack of negligence on his own part. His testimony is somewhat confused, but justifies the conclusion that he ran to board a moving car, and either slipped or stumbled as he was in the act of boarding it. The judgment is right, and should be affirmed, with costs. Judgment affirmed, with costs.
