Description

ELLIS, J. -- The Plaintiffs in error by their next friend brought an action against the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company, a railroad corporation, for damages for the wrongful death of their father, William H. Johnson, alleged to have been killed by the defendant at a railroad crossing in the town of Dunedin on the night of July 18, 1925, at about eight-thirty o'clock. The action was brought in the Circuit Court for Pinellas County two years thereafter. At the time of bringing the action the plaintiffs were minors. During the trial the court permitted a non-suit to be taken by Ruby Woods, one of the plaintiffs. A verdict was rendered for the remaining plaintiffs in the sum of eight hundred dollars which upon motion of the defendant was set aside and a new trial awarded. A writ of error was taken by the plaintiffs to that order.
