SHINN, P. J.
I concur in the judgment and in the opinion with this reservation: I have read the lengthy testimony of the expert witness who looked at photographs of the wrecked cars, applied to what he observed thereon the discoveries of Sir Isaac Newton, and formed certain opinions as to the speeds of the two cars. One of them was that the Cox car was traveling 8 miles an hour faster than the police car, which, I think, was pure speculation. Everyone seems to have been more or less confused by the deductions and explanations of the witness. I find nothing in his testimony, or in the record, which would furnish a reasonable basis for a finding that the Cox car did not stop at the intersection or that Cox was guilty of contributory negligence.
