Head Matter:
Clara Lutz, as Administratrix, etc., of Henry W. Lutz, Deceased, Respondent,v. Obermeybr & Liebmann, Appellant.
The position of defendant’s truck proceeding eastward on the northerly (left) side of Arlington avenue and thence turning to the left into Hale avenue before reaching the center of that street, east on defendant the burden of excusing such departure from the rule of the road. We cannot say, against the verdict, that the excuse offered of the presence of other vehicles was sufficient for defendant’s exoneration. In view of deceased’s record for steady industry, and his future prospects, and the sole dependence of the widow and son on such earnings, the verdict of $10,000 is not so excessive as to call on us to interfere. The judgment and order are, therefore, unanimously affirmed, with costs.

Opinion:
Present — Jenks, P. J., Thomas, Rich, Putnam and Kelly, JJ.
