Head Matter:
Illinois Cent. R. Co. v. Reece Houston.
(Division A.
Oct. 5, 1942.)
[9 So. (2d) 788.
No. 35043.]
Cowles Hlorton, of Grenada, and Lucius E. Burch, Jr., and Clinton H. McKay, both of Memphis, Tenn., for appellant.
S. C!. Mims, of Grenada, for appellee.
Argued orally by C'owles Horton, for appellant.

Opinion:
Smith, O. J.,
delivered the opinion of the court.
Nothing in the evidence in this case justifies excluding it from the rule announced in Gulf, M. & N. R. Co. v. Holifield, 152 Miss. 674, 120 So. 750, approved and applied in a number of cases subsequent thereto; consequently it is governed thereby and the court below should have granted the appellant's request for a directed verdict.
Eeversed and judgment here for the appellant.
