} by STORY OF WES Corporation Had Her Lawyer Disbarred in 16-Year Dam- \ age Fight. FINALLY PAID $11,000. Attorney’s Career Ruined by Perjury of Railway Wit- nesses Here. Narriet Nugent, the young wom- ‘am found in @ state of coma yester- day afternoon in a doorway near ‘Twelfth Street and Seventh Avenue and who was discovered later in St. Vincent's’ Hospital to have a cork | leg, recovered sufficiently to-day to jell how she lost her left leg. The narrative of the young woman presents an astounding story of the length to which a corporation went to deprive a girl of her finan- celal rights and to punish her lawyer for daring to prove his suit. For sixteen years Harriet Nugent ‘was kept out of a judgment for $5,000 ‘won by her attorney, Benjamin Op- penheim, against the Metropolitan Street Railway Company. For nearly the same length of time her attorney Was disbarred and prevented from , earning his livelihood by means of | his profession. The company paid! more, than $100,000 to accomplish this end. In 1896 Miss Nugent, then a little girl three years old, wes run over by @ Madison Street horse car. Her left leg was cut off at the knee. Oppen- heim, = young attorney, just winning his spurs, brought suit against the Metropolitan Street Railway Com- pany and a jury awarded the girl $5,000 damages. "The railway company, through ap- Peals to higher courts, kept the judg- ment from execution for two years, then charged Attorney Oppenheim with subornation of perjury in con- aection with the case. The company proved its charges in court and Op- penhelm was disbarred.
