| Citation | 127 Ky. 276,110 S.W. 233 |
| Parties | LOUISVILLE & N. R. CO. v. MELTON. |
| Court | Kentucky Court of Appeals |
We are unable to see that the Indiana Statute as construed in the opinion is in violation of the fourteenth amendment to the Constitution of the United States, or that any right guaranteed thereby is denied by the decision in this case. We endeavored to show this in the original opinion. We are also unable to see that the conclusion we reached is not in keeping with the construction of the statute by the Supreme Court of Indiana. Our conclusion is sustained by the following cases in other states under similar statutes: Georgia, etc., R. R. Co. v. Miller, 90 Ga. 571, 16 S.E. 939; Railroad Co. v. Koehler, 37 Kan. 463, 15 P. 567; Georgia, etc., R. R. v. Hicks, 95 Ga. 301, 22 S.E. 613; Campbell v. Cook, 86 Tex. 630, 26 S.W. 486, 40 Am.St.Rep. 878; Galveston, etc., R. R. v. Mohrman (Tex. Civ. App.) 93 S.W. 1090; Sherman v. Texas, etc., R. R. (Tex. Sup.) 91 S.W. 561; Hancock v. Norfolk, etc., R. R. (N. C.) 32 S.E. 679; Rutherford v. Southern R. Co., 56 S.C. 446, 35 S.E. 136; Mott v. Southern R. R. Co., 131 N.C. 234, 42 S.E. 601; Sigman v. Southern R. R. Co., 135 N.C. 181, 47 S.E. 420; Nicholson v. Transylvania R. R. Co., 138 N.C. 516, 51 S.E. 40; Texas R. R. v. Carlin, 111 F. 777, 49 C.C.A. 605, 60 L.R.A. 462; Id., 189 U.S. 354, 23 S.Ct. 585, 47 L.Ed. 849; Edge v. Railroad Co. (Mo.) 104 S.W. 90.
