On Motion of the Appellant Railway Company for a Rehearing.
On further consideration of the record in connection with the motion, we have concluded that while portions of the testimony of appellee Vera Mae King as a witness tend to support the finding of the jury that she was damaged in the sum of $5,000 by the death of her father, her testimony as a whole did not support the finding. Looking to her testimony in its entirety, and that of the other witnesses relevant to the question, we have concluded that the judgment in her favor is excessive in the sum of $2,000. Therefore, the judgment will be reversed, and the cause will be remanded to the court below for a new trial, unless a remittitur of $2,000 thereof is filed within 15 days from the date hereof; in which event, it will be reformed and affirmed for the sum of $3,000.
