Opinion

majority opinion

Cobb, J.

The legal presumption against the railway company, upon which alone the right of the plaintiff in each of these cases to recover depended, having been fully overcome by uncontradicted testimony conclusively showing that the defendant’s servants in charge of the train used due care and diligence to prevent the injuries complained of, the verdicts against the company were contrary to law and ought to have been set aside. Judgment in each case reversed.

All the Justices concurring.
