Smith v. Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railway Co.

Porter, J.

(dissenting) : I think the instruction requested should have been given, and that it was error for the court to withdraw from the consideration of the jury the contract of employment on the ground that it was not binding on the plaintiff. If the written statement was in fact taken by the claim agent after the expiration of thirty days from the time of the accident there was, of course, no waiver, and the question whether there was such a waiver should have been submitted to the jury. With these exceptions I concur in all that is said in the opinion.
