Two Women Dead—Jersey Central Defendant.

Leo Nash of Shippan Point, Stamford, Conn., brought suit before Circuit Court Judge Luther A. Campbell, sitting in the Supreme Court at Jersey City yesterday, against the Central Railroad of New Jersey for $500,000 for damages for the death of his wife and her sister, Esther Edna Smith. The two women were killed on April 15 when their automobile was struck by a train on a grade crossing at Ridgeway, in Ocean County.

Nash, as administrator of the estates of the two women, said they were worth $500,000 each, and that Mrs. Nash spent $20,000 a year in family expenses, and $11,500 in keeping up the $60,000 Nash home. Miss Smith, he said, helped to support her mother and two sisters.
