Eddie Earl Hodges v. American Bakeries

This is an action for $25,000 damages for the wrongful death of plaintiff's husband. Verdict and judgment were for defendants
and plaintiff appeals. This court has jurisdiction because the amount in dispute exceeds $15,000. Article V, § 3,
Constitution of Missouri; § 477.040, RSMo 1959, V.A.M.S.: Brewer vs. Silverstein, Mo., 64 S.W.2d 289, 290[1]. Plaintiff alleges the court erred in (1) giving instruction No. 6, on behalf of defendants, and (2) admitting in evidence
the testimony of a witness for defendants. The case was submitted on excessive and negligent speed. It was tried in November,
1964, before the effective date of our rules requiring use of MAI instructions.
