Wolf v. Western Union Telegraph Co.
19 S.E. 717
Ga.1894Check TreatmentThe message was; “ Can yon look at clothing samples Thursday or Friday ? Abe E. Wolf.” It was correctly transmitted from Savannah to Columbus. At the Columbus office the name of “Abe E. Wolf” was changed to “Abe Ellis ” by mistake of the operator. As thus changed the message was transmitted and promptly delivered to the sendee at Buena Vista. There is a man named Abe Ellis in Columbus, who sends many messages over defendant’s wires.
