On Motion for Rehearing.
We modify our findings of fact to the extent of finding that the witness, Mrs. Palmer, saw the deceased as he entered upon the switch track, and also that she saw him step upon the main track, about 2 feet in front of the moving car, and that he did not stop and look from the time that she saw him until he was struck by the car.
The evidence in this cáse makes a strong showing of negligence on the part of the deceased, but, in view of the recent decisions of our Supreme Court in Trochta v. Railway Co., 218 S. W. 1038, and in Kirksey v. Southern Traction Co., 217 S. W. 139, neither of which has been [officially] reported, we hold that the question of contributory negligence was one for the jury.
Motion overruled.
