Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York·Decided December 15, 1927·Published

Opinion

Judgment reversed upon the law and the facts, with costs, and complaint dismissed, with costs. Vinie A. Darnell was guilty of contributory negligence as a matter of law. (Fitch v. N. Y. C. R. R. Co., 233 N. Y. 356; La Goy v. Director-General of Railroads, 231 id. 191; Cassidy v. Fonda, Johnstown & Gloversville R. R. Co., 234 id. 599; Hagglund v. Erie R. R. Co., 210 id. 46; Van Wormer v.
