On Motion for Rehearing.
I dissented from the action of the majority in affirming the judgment of the trial court in our original opinion, upon the conclusion that the finding of the jury that the promise of employment induced appellee to execute the release was so against the great weight and preponderance of the evidence as to be clearly wrong. Since the original opinion has been filed, and upon motion for rehearing, I have reached the conclusion that the judgment should also be reversed in that the finding that appellant was guilty of negligence, the proximate cause of appellee’s injury, is also so against the weight and preponderance of the evidence as to be clearly wrong. The only evidence tending to show such negligence was the testimony of appel-lee, who, I think, from all the evidence, is unworthy of belief, and which testimony was disputed by the overwhelming weight of the evidence.
