Supreme Court of Missouri May 18, 1928 (Guthrie v. Gillespie)

lead-opinion

This is an action for damages for personal injuries — a master-and-servant case. The plaintiff (appellant) had a verdict below for $9000, which, on defendant's motion for a new trial, was set aside as being against the weight of the evidence. The ultimate charge in the appellant's petition is that the respondent failed to provide him with a safe place of work.
