Head Matter:
Daisy Lashley, as Administratrix of Caroline Jenkins, Deceased, Respondent, v. Brooklyn and Queens Transit Corporation, Appellant.

Opinion:
In an action for damages for death by wrongful act, neglect or default, defendant appeals from a judgment in favor of plaintiff entered on a jury verdict. Judgment unanimously affirmed, with costs. Plaintiff made out a prima Jade case, but, aside from that, the testimony of the motorman warranted a finding of negligence on the part of the defendant and took to the jury the question of contributory negligence by the decedent.
