aged "Eye, Nose and Dress.
SAN. FRANCISCO, Oct 2. (Special)
When Justice of the Peace Barnett
finished delivering an oral decision to
day. George W. Smith, a Jitney driver,
realized that his action In putting his
arm around a girl's waist two months
ago would cost htm Just 197.50, even
though the girl had not objected when
he did so.
Judgment for this sum was rendered
against Smith and in favor of Miss May
Goldschnelder. a stenographer. It was
not because Miss , Goldschnelder was
the recipient of Smith's embraces. It
was because Miss Goldschnetder was
Injured In Smith's car while the latter
was driving with only one hand on the
steering wheel, the other hand and arm
being pre-empted by a young woman
who sat on the front seat with him.
Justice Barnett held that If Smith
had kept both hands on the steering
wheel he probably would not have col
lided, with another car. In which acci
dent Miss Goldschnelder, who was
Smith's passenger by Invitation, re
ceived a bruised nose and eye and
ruined a handsome dress.
She sued for $250. Justice Barnett
declared that he might have allowed
her more damages if the party had not
