    • Sues Railway Co., Signed Release When Ill, Says
      Charging that the claim agent department of the New Orleans Railway and Light Co., took unfair advantage of him, while he was in a weaker condition, mentally and physically, owing to his injuries and the opiates which had been administered to him by surgeons, Harold H. Heno asks, in a suit filed Wednesday in the civil district court, for judgment against the company for $31, 208.50 damages, and the annulment of a release from liability which he is alleged to have given the company while he was still in the hospital.

      The substance of the petition in Heno's suit is that he was employed as a deputy to the United States marshal [sic] during the recent street car strike; that he went down to the Orleans-St. Bernard parish line on July 21, 1920, to investigate a charge that strikers and sympathizers were threatening to molest strike-breaker car crews. Finding the rumor unfounded, he attempted to board a car by the front platform on which he was required to stand, the car started off with a jerk, the handlebar, of which he had taken hold, pulled loose from its fastenings, he was thrown to the ground. His leg had to be amputated as a result of his injuries.

      He declares that five days after the accident, while he was suffering mentally and physically a representative of the claim agent's department of the N. O. R. Y. , and Light Co., called on him at the hospital, handed him $400 and had him sign a paper which he afterwards learned was a release of the railway company from liability [sic] for any further sum in [carnages?].
