The last case tried the third week of court was Mrs. Mamie 0. Goza, administratrix of the estate of Robert I H. Goza,her deceased husband,against the Seaboard Air Line railway, seeking damages in the sum of ?15,000 for the alleged killing of the said Robert | H. Goza, who died Sept. 29, 1906, j after injuries received from being .j thrown in front of a lever car, ' which ' passed over him, and mortally wound- ! ing him, as it is alleged. The deceased was section foreman j at Norway, Orangeburg county. He was 46 years old, and his widow who resides at Irmo, brought the suit for herself and five children?the oldest now 15 years of age. The defense was that the deceased as section foreman was conductor of his lever car, and hence was charged with the responsibility of determining whether or not it was fit for use. The verdict was for $8,000. Mr. Asbill and Graham & Sturkie brought the suit and Mr. McMahan and Efird & Dreher represented the road. When the hour for court arrived, on last Monday, Clerk George and the other officials were in the court room with the petit jurors enrolled, only to learn that Judge Wilson had left here Sunday afternoon to go home and j back. The court was adjourned until 3 p. m., but it was not until 5 a. m., when the Judge arrived on the Columbia train. As a consequence the jurors were lounging around on the streets at great expense to the county.
