Hts case has not yet been dis- : Breet Railroad expect to establish that | posed of. Mrs, Elizabeth Rhoades brought suit for $50,000 damages against the Metro- polltan Street Rail her case belng in the hands of Col. Edward C. James. Their Testimony Easen Affier trial of one week the verdict of $37,500 was rendered, mainly on the teatimond of Rensing and Gallagher, who sald they were eye witnesses of the accident and maintained that the motorman, running a “dead car at a, reckless rate of speed, was looking back and not ahead or he might have averted the accident. The verdict was the larg- est aince tne abrogation of the limita- tion of $5.00 for damages in a sult in- volving loss ot lite. In his confession, Rensing alleges that he was approached by a man who told him he could make good money by testifying in the case. He waa given § and told to secure a man to substantiate his atory. Ie then necured Gallagher, and they went tc a room in the Colontal Hotel, at One Hundred and Twenty-fi street and Eighth avenue, where they met a man, had a diagram and the verdict of $37,000 against that com- the death of Capt. George B. of the Seventh Regiment, was secured by subornation of perjury was the largest verdict for damages ever secured against a railway company in the New York courts. Rensing was held in Centre Street *,Court to-day in $1,500 ball to answer a @harge of perjury. Attached to the complaint was a copy of his confession that he had sworn falsely in the trial o damage suit, and procured sub- > ptantlating false testimony from James Gallagher. No warrant was asked for Gallagher. Henry W. Melville, of 150 Broadway, one of tho street rallway’s attorneys, explained that they had a confession from Gallagher and were sure of him. while they had reason to doubt that Rensing would stand by his confession. Within a week he went to Philadelphia. and the ratiroad company suspected that he was being gotten out lof the way.

Rhoades, who was president of the Stuy’ Insurance Company, was on his o his home at 83 West One Hundred and Thirtleth street. The car was going at a high rate of apecd and struck him, knocking him fifty feet. His ekull was crushed.
