NORTHERN PAC. R. CO. V. CHARLESS
51 Fed. 562 (9th Cir. 1892)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was a personal injury action.
FACTS: Charless (P) sued Northern Pac.R.Co. (D) for personal injuries while in the employ
of D. During trial P was allowed to give a narrative statement about the accident. D
objected to this testimony. The testimony contained matters immaterial to the issues and
hearsay. P could not object too much of the testimony as given. The court reasoned that it
would furnish the jury with a more connected statement of the matter before them. P got a
verdict for $18,250 and costs. D appealed.
