Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court May 20, 1908 (Plummer v. Boston Elevated Railway Co.)

Rugg, J.

1. The question of due care on the part of the plaintiff is a close one. The place of the accident was well lighted. The estimates of horizontal distances between the side door of the car and the edge of the permanent platform varied from fourteen to twenty inches, and the maximum possible distance including a lurch of the car was twenty-one inches.
