Mrs. Eula GALLOWAY and Sheldon H. Galloway v. EMPLOYERS CASUALTY COMPANY.
No. 52332.
Supreme Court of Louisiana.
April 18, 1972.

Opinion:
In re: Mrs. Eula Galloway and Sheldon H. Galloway applying for certiorari, or writ of review, to the Court of Appeal, Third Circuit, Parish of Calcasieu. 257 So.2d 760.
Writ refused. On the facts found by the Court of Appeal, there is no error of law.
BARHAM, J., is of the opinion the writ should be granted.
TATE, J., is of the opinion the writ should be granted. Although the store management testified as to its policy of periodic inspection, the trier of fact found no such inspections were made, noting also the failure to call employees to corroborate such testimony. The court of appeal was in error in accepting self-serving testimony, not accepted as truthful by the trier of fact, at least without a considered explanation.
