Syllabus
<p>Where, in the contemplation of the parties and by the terms of the bill of lading, a shipment is purely intrastate and neither the bill nor any-state regulation gives a right to divert or reship, the action of the shipper and connecting carrier in forwarding the goods, after arrival at destination, to a new destination in another State under a new bill can not impress the original shipment with an interstate character, subject it to the Interstate Commerce Act and interstate tariffs, and so render the initial carrier liable under the Carmack Amendment for damage occurring under the new coru signment.</p> <p>200 Mo. App. 655, affirmed.</p>
