Susan Jane "Jennie" BAKER
1912 - SUES SENATOR LIPPITT

Smithfield Woman Asks $15,000 Damages - Hurt in House.

Jennie S. Plante of Smithfield filed in the Superior Court yesterday afternoon a suit for $15,000 against Henry F. Lippit of this city, allaging that Mr. Lippit as owner of a house in Georgiaville was negligent in allowing a plank to be so placed as to make the rear exit of the house dangerous, while the steps were removed for the purpose of making repairs and alterations.

Mrs. Plante and her husband became tenants of the house and occupied it on July 25, 1910, she states, and while attempting to use the plank, it slipped and threw her to the ground. She claims to have sustained severe and permanent injuries from the fall. Quinn & Kernan and Waterman & Greenlaw are counsel for the plaintiff.
