Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York November 12, 1936 (Skzypek v. Long Island Railroad)

Plaintiff’s intestate, while crossing defendant’s railroad tracks, fell and came in fatal contact with a third rail that supplied power for the operation of defendant’s trains. Defendant appeals from the judgment rendered in plaintiff’s favor and from an order denying its motion to set aside the verdict and grant a new trial.
