THE TITANIC WRECK.
ACTION FOR DAMAGES,
[By Electric lelegraph—Copyright] [United Press Association.] London, June 25. Thomas Ryan sued the Oceanic Steamship Company for damages for the deatii of his son, who was a passenger by the Titanic, The jury found that there was no negligence by the look-out, but that there was negligence in not reducing the speed. The judge having left the court, judgment was not entered up. Flew, look-out man on the Titanic, gave evidence that he saw a black object ahead shortly before the collision. If ho had had glasses’ he could have picked up the object in time to avert the collision. Many experts testified that glasses were valueless. The judge ruled that the Marconi operators on the Titanic were not servants of the company, which was not liable for negligence through any failure of duty on the part of the operators. The jury found that there was insufficient evidence to say whether the Mazaba message was delivered to the Titanic’s responsible officers.
