Description

The action was originally brought against the defendants Thomas and against the Portland Gas and Coke Company, hereafter called the Gas Company, but a demurrer to the complaint was sustained as to the Gas Company and the plaintiff refused to plead further. The case against the defendants Thomas, hereafter called the defendants, went to trial before a jury and resulted in a verdict for the defendants.
