No, the widow of Harris does not win the case. Because Harris's action was factual and he was self-responsible for the act. The onlooker's shouts and the ringing bell and then the flashing lights signaling the approach of an express train. The railway has given a yellow warning light printed on the platform. But Harris does not follow the rules and not follow the yellow line that was the indication of danger. So Harris was killed due to his ignorance. The widow of Harris does not win the case. The case is dismissed. by the law of court or otherwise, she will definitely lose the case.
