Action by Bertha Voegeli against Chicago City Railway Company to recover for personal injuries. Plaintiff claimed that the car on which she was a passenger stopped and most of the passengers got off; that she heard the conductor say: “This is as far as we go;” that she then got up, saying: “Then I have got to get off,” walked onto the front platform, took hold of the support or handle with her right hand, stepped down on the step, and as she was about to step to the ground the car suddenly started with such violence as to throw her to the ground, breaking the neck of her left femur. From a judgment in favor of plaintiff for two thousand five hundred dollars, defendant appeals.
