Wheeler of the su- preme court, in his opinion in the ap- Deal of the case of Mrs. Alice Russell of Providence against Frederick D. Verga- son of Norwich Town, he has a right to rely upon certain protection that the law gives him in obliging the operator of an automobile to run his car with the knowledge that pedestrians are liable to be on the highway. . The opinion rses Judge Kellogg, who set aside the verdict of $3.000 tha. the jury gave to Mrs. Russell, and directs that judgment for the jury verdict be en- tered for the plaintiff.
