This would probably be ttés but for the application of the doctrifies of last clear chance, which was suggésted by the testtmony (especially that of the defendant on cross-sxamination 4s ap- pears by transcript filel herewith. and the deposition 6f Bell) invoked by plain- | tiff's counsel in afgument and submit- ted to the jury by the ecourt in fits charge, There was evidened dbundantly Sup- porting a finding by fhe jury that, aft. er plaintiff’s decedent had, though nég- ligently, placed himself in a position of danger by crossing thé street ahead of defendant’s automobile and his twe com- panions had fled, one to oné sde of the road and ohe to the other to aveia the approaching vehicle, defendant saw him staggering uncertainly about in or fiear the middle of and thereafter had op- portunity, by stopping or farther slack- ;rl\mg his speed, to.avotd colliding with m.
