text: On the part of the defendant, it is contended that the plaintiffs utterly failed to prove that Gentry was killed by a flatcar coupled in front of a locomotive, as they alleged in their petition, or that his death was due to any negligence of the defendant, and consequently, that the court should have directed a verdict for the defendant, that the undisputed facts of the case not only did not establish any actionable negligence on the part of the defendant, but, on the contrary, negatived such negligence, and that the court erred in instructing the jury that there was no dispute as to the cause of Gentry's death and in allowing testimony to be introduced on that assumption.
