General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.

CERTIORARI TO THE CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE EIGHTH CIRCUIT
Syllabus
1. Evidence offered by a litigant and excluded, but preserved in the record, may be considered upon review in determining his liability. P. 138.
2. Under an arrangement between two railroad companies, a section of the main line of one was used by coal trains of the other by means of a switch connection. Due to a defect in the mechanism for turning the switch signal light, which could have been discovered by due care, the switch was left open by men operating a train of the second company at night, leaving the green light showing the main line clear, with the result that a passenger train of that line was deflected, and a passenger injured. Held that the company owning the main line was responsible to the passenger for the condition of the signal and liable for his injuries. P. 139.
42 F.2d 70 affirmed.
Certiorari, 282 U.S. 826, to review a judgment of the circuit court of appeals affirming a recovery in an action for personal injuries which was removed from a state court on the ground of diversity of citizenship.
