De- fendant’s driver admits that he had turned to (his left side of the street for the purpose of passing the vehicle driv- en by the plaintiff, that he did not/blow his horn because he thought that when the plaintiff 10o'ed to his left before turn- ng he saw the car approaching, and claims that he vid not see the plaintft give any signal, The conclusion is reached that negll- gence on the part of the defendant’s ser- vant, especially in failing to give any warning signal of his approach and . in tailing to reduce his speed as the circum- E | stances required, proximately caused the injury to the. plaintiff. Not only. daid plaintiff give the required signal-of his intention to turn, but also the subsequent course of his ' relatively slow-moving horse-drawn vehicle +would have given sufficient notice, while he was traveltng entirely across the wide street, to _enable a vigilant and careful driver of defend- ant's automobile, if traveling at a proper rate of speed, to avold the collision which +here occurred. .
