Mrs. Mary Louise MILLER, etc., et al., Appellants, v. ALEXANDRIA TRUCK LINES, INC., et al., Appellees.
    No. 17816.
    United States Court of Appeals Fifth Circuit.
    March 10, 1960.
    John H. Benckenstein, Beaumont, Tex., Albert P. Jones, Houston, Tex., for appellants.
    W. C. Harvin, George H. Jewell, George T. Barrow, Houston, Tex., for appellees.
    Before RIVES, Chief Judge, and HUTCHESON and CAMERON, Circuit J udges.
   PER CURIAM.

In our original opinion we erroneously referred to the deceased as Roy Wind-ham and to his twin brother as Ray Windham, whereas it was Ray Windham who was killed in the accident, and his twin brother, Roy Windham, volunteered testimony by affidavit on the motion for new trial. The opinion is corrected accordingly. 273 F.2d 897.

We remain convinced that the entire judgment should be reversed and the cause remanded for a new trial. Compare Atlantic Coast Line R. Co. v. Bennett, 4 Cir., 1958, 251 F.2d 934, 938, 939. The petition for rehearing is

Denied.
