SPOTTS WON APPEAL
Supreme Court Proceedings Saturday
Include Affirmation in Dow And
Ince Murder case
In the supreme court Saturday
Justice McCulloch delivered the
opinion of that court in the appeal
of the Southern Cotton Oil Co.
versus Jim Spotts from the
judgment of the Jackson circuit
court. The opinion of the lower
court was affirmed.
This was a suit brought by
Jim Spotts against the Southern
Cotton Oil Company to recover
damages for personal injuries.
Spotts was an employee for the
latter as a day laborer, and part
ef his duty was to keep the ma
chinery oiled. He was injured
while oiling the machinery while
it was in motion. He claims the
foreman, over his objection, or.
iered him to climb up in the
■nachinery while it was in mo
don, and that while he was so
loingthe sleeve of his jacket
vas caught by a set screw,
vhich pulled him into the ma
:hinery and hurt him. The com
)any denied that he was order
id into the machinery while it
vas in motion, or that the set
screw was on the shaft, or that
;he company was guilty of neg- I
igence in any particular. It was
ilso contended that the plaintiff
issumed the risk of the service. |
rhese questions were submitted j
;o the jury upon proper instruct-1
ons, and the court found there '
vas sufficient evidence to sup
port the finding. _
Justice McCulloch also handed
lown an opinion affirming the
conviction of James Ince in Yell
county for the murder of his
wife and children.
John Dow, the negro who
killed his wife and was convict
ed of murder in the first degree
in the Independence circuit
court, also had his fate further
3ealed in the opinion of Justice
