DODGES SUIT ON
A TECHNICALITY
POLICE DID DUTY
A damage suit for personal Injuries
brought against the Georgia Rallway
and Electric Company and tried Wed
nesday morning was dismissed on the
plea of the counsel for the defense that
the accident occurred on the Atlanta
Rapid Transit Company's system, and
that the present corporation has no
legal Identity with that system.
On May 5, 1901, Mis* Lemla Hamer,
of William* street, then a girl of 10
year*, wan thrown through a glass
window of a car on the Central ave
nue line and her face badly Injured by
broken glass. Two years later, after
waiting until the ful extent of her In
juries could be learned, the family
brought suit for $5,000 against the
company.
In the Interval between the accident
and the suit the Atlanta Rapid Tran
sit Company had been absorbed, with
Other lines, by the Georgia Railway
and Electric Company, which now op
erates the street car system. The suit
was brought against this company.
In the first division of the city court
the case reached u hearing Wednesday
morning, after many continuances on
account of various causes. The coun
_ I for the defense filed copies of deeds
to show that the new company hud
taken over all the nsset* of the old
ompa tries and maintained that It had
also Incurred all the liabilities of the
old companies.
Counsel for the corporation entered a
plea that the new system and the old
had no legal Identity and the plea was
sustained by Judge Reid under the

made an Investigation Into the con
duct of the police on the night of the
race riot and had been unable to find
any evidence of neglect of duty.
In the report the chief also took oc
casion to especially commend several
ortlcers for the good work done by
them In aiding In quelling the riot.

used by them In trying to suppress the
disorder. This report will probahlv be
