On Motion for Rehearing.
[2] Upon further consideration of the testimony in this case and authorities cited and discussed, we are still of the opinion that the verdict is excessive, but conclude that in fixing the amount of the excess we failed to give certain facts tending to show mental anguish the consideration to which they were justly entitled, and that the remittitur should be changed to $250, instead of $450. While it is true that the conductor declined to charge plaintiff with changing the ticket, he made statements concerning what the ticket agent and the Pullman conductor had said, which are bound to have created in the mind of plaintiff the belief that the conductor thought he, plaintiff, had changed the ticket, although he was unwilling at that time to prefer a specific charge to that effect.
The order heretofore entered with respect to a remittitur is set aside, and it is ordered that a remittitur of $250 be filed, and if this is done the judgment will be affirmed for the remainder of $250. If such remittitur is not entered, the judgment will be reversed, and the cause remanded.
