Supreme Court of Iowa April 24, 1885 (Watson v. Wabash, St. Louis & Pacific R'y Co.)

Adams, J.

I. After the introduction of the evidence, the defendant asked the court to direct the jury to render a verdict in its favor. This the court refused to do, and the defendant assigns the ruling as error. The defendant insists that the evidence not only failed to show negligence on its part, but failed to show a want-of contributory negligence on the part of the plaintiff.
