Almand, Justice,
dissenting addendum. The foregoing dissent was written and filed to the original opinion of the majority. On the hearing of the plaintiff’s motion for a rehearing, the original opinion was revised as to one division (division 5), and the judgment of this court was changed from one of affirmance in toto to a judgment affirming in part and reversing in part the judgment of the trial court. The revised opinion holds that the verdict directed in favor of the intervenor is affirmed and the direction of a verdict in favor of Zucker is reversed. I now dissent from the ruling in headnote 5 and the corresponding division of the opinion, and from the judgment affirming the order directing a verdict in favor of the intervenor.
The reasons for my dissent from the original opinion of the majority are still applicable to the revised opinion. I now dissent for the additional reason that the record before the court shows that the plaintiff Zucker only made a motion for a directed verdict, and the trial court, apparently on the theory that what Zucker'would be entitled to the intervenor would share as a joint party plaintiff, directed a verdict for both parties. The result is that it is now held that Zucker was not entitled to the grant of his motion, but that the intervenor is to receive the full benefit of a motion to which she was not a party.
