Syllabus

<p>1. Railroads. Passenger and carrier. ■ Unlawful signal to stop. Damages.</p> <p>One who by signals causes a passenger train to stop at night at a point not a stopping place, and, while endeavoring to enter, though with reasonable caution, is injured by the sudden starting of the train, cannot recover for the injury, if his purpose to take passage was unknown to the conductor and other trainmen. Under such circumstances, when injured, he had not acquired the rights of a passenger.</p> <p>2. Same. Subsequent payment of fare. Evidence.</p> <p>The fact that he succeeded in entering the car, and that the conductor, finding him there, collected fare from him as from other passengers, could not give color to the past occurrences which had resulted in his injury.</p>
