ASKSSSO.OOO.OO
Sus Southern for Damages for
Death of Engineer Husband
Killed in Wreck.
• •
CLARKESVILLE, GA.. Dee. 18.—Suit
for $50,000 against the Southern Rail
way Company has just been filed here
by Mrs. Minnie M. Costner, of Atlanta,
for the death of her husband. Jacob M.
Costner, in the Southern railway wreck
of October 4 between Cornelia and
Baldwin. The suit was instituted here
us the county seat of Habersham coun
ty, in which the wreck took place.
Costner was engineer of the ill-fated
train No. 43 that was derailed while
speeding to Atlanta about 4 o'clock on
the morning of October 4.
Mrs. Costner sues as executrix of the
estate of the dead engineer. She
charges the wreck was due to negli
gence of the railway ce mpany. alleging
that the track was defective at the
place where the derailment took place.
She sets out thta her husband was
earning $250 per month at his occupa
tion and that he was 50 years of age.
Three other suits, each for $3,000,
have also been filed as the result of
this wreck. The plaintiffs are G. D.
Dally, Mrs. Ruby Dally, his wife, and
A. A. Zachery. Each suit is based on
personal injuries alleged.
The Southern railway will resist the
suits on the contention that the derail
ment was caused by train wreckers,
who had tampered with the track. To
that end two arrests have already been
made, Ed Renfroe, who boarded in the
Costnere home, and a youth named
Tankersley now being confined in the
jail here.
