Opinion:
Opinion by
Mr. Justice Feazer,
The injury for which this action was instituted to recover compensation was the result of the same accident in which William A. Boud and his wife, Edith Boud, were injured and in whose case an opinion was filed February 14,1921. What was said there relative to the cause of the accident and plaintiff's right to recover is applicable here and, for the reasons set forth in that opinion, the assignments of error here are overruled and the judgment is affirmed.
