On Motion for Rehearing.
YOUNG, Justice.
I concur with the conclusion reached by Associate Justice CRAMER that the amount of exemplary damages allowed Ted C. O’Connor against L. W. Klindworth of $5,000 is excessive to- the extent of $4,000. Art. 4004, supra, is appli*479cable thereto and his recovery in matter of exemplary damages should be reduced to double the amount of actual damages suffered by Ted. C. O’Connor; in other words, to the sum of $1,000. Chief Justice BOND dissenting.
The motion for rehearing is therefore granted in part and the judgment below reformed so as to eliminate therefrom $4,000 of such $5,000 item, and as reformed is affirmed.
