Riley v. Connecticut River Railroad
135 Mass. 292, 1883 Mass. LEXIS 75
Opinion
This case cannot be distinguished from Corcoran v. Boston & Albany Railroad, 133 Mass. 507. The evidence offered wholly fails to show that the intestate was using due care, or that his death was not instantaneous. It does not sustain the burden of proof which the law places upon the plaintiff. Judgment on the verdict.
