Mr. Sam'l M. Wilson,
Attorney, Lexington, Ky. ,
Dear Sir,
Calvin Stidham Vs L & N R R Co.

Referring to the above matter.

Mr. Donohue wired me today that you were calling on him
for investigation papers and that I should send you sufficient
information to enable you to file answer, etc.

Stidham was a member of the Whitesburg section crew.

On the date of this accident he and ot er men were engaged in
unloading ballast from work train some distance north of Whites—

‘ burg. Stidham and three ot er men lived about two miles south
of Whitesburg and after they finished their work on the day of the
accident the train was going to Neon they secured permission to
ride the train to their home. Stidham was the only man to ride in
the caboose. The other men rode the engine or out on the train.

[I When the train got in front of Stidham’s house he jumped off and

K was injured slightly. While I have statements from eight witnesses
they are very unsatisfactory and 1 cannot tell just where we stand
and shall ask you to return the papers to me promptly and I will
complete the investigation and get it up in good shape and you will

 _ Q.
5.1mm (2) 12/4/15
then receive it through Mr. warren.
It lookeAVery much like Stidham will be able to make
x out ?.JP?N.CQSG and that it is one for settlement.-1 Your
E aesociates at Whitesburg ebould See that the case takes its
3 E tar; ob the docket and I am sure that it will be an easy matter
2 to get rid of it on our terms.
Yours truly,
