Charles Goodheart, Respondent, v. New York Rapid Transit Corporation, Appellant.
   Plaintiff, who fell when he was ascending a stairway leading to the train platform at the defendant’s station, claimed that he slipped on a wet, foreign substance, which defendant’s employee had just covered with a newspaper. Judgment in favor of plaintiff reversed on the law and the facts, and new trial granted, with costs to appellant to abide the event. In our opinion the verdict is against the weight of the credible evidence. Lazansky, P. J., Johnston, Adel, Taylor and Close, JJ., concur.
