Dear Sir:- a
Your letter of August llth enclosing me copy of
Petition in the case of Reeder Holmes vs this Company.
Conductor Bocook who was in charge of the train
advises as follows:
' " August is ,1914. '
In reply to your file No.4509. Reeder
Holmes boarded train in my charge with Mr.J.N.Watts,
P.O. Ned, Ky. Holmes paid fare to Hazard and Watts
paid fare to Fleming. Just before reaching Hazard
I was passing through train collecting fare and
taking up hat checks and Holmes had removed his check.
I insisted on him giving me the check but he claimed
he had paid to Blackey. I told him if he went beyond
Hazard he had better get him a ticket. I passed on.
After reaching Hazard and doing station work I walked
through train and found Holmes, called on him for a
ticket and he refused to pay. I tried to reason with
him and his friend Mr. Watts told him to pay his fare if
he wanted to go farther. He refused and I put him off
of the train."
" August 24th, 1914.
In reply to your file 4309. J.W.Watts, P.O.
Ned, Ky. was the only person negr me at the time Holmes was
put off. Hlagman E.C.Carpenter came up about this time
Holmes and l were in the conversation but does not remember
what was said."
The Flagman did not know anything concerning the transaction
