JOHNSEN, Circuit Judge.
The personal representative of a decedent sought to recover damages for his death, which had resulted from a collision between a truck and a train at a railroad crossing in the State of Illinois. The suit was instituted in an Iowa state court and was removed by the Railroad to the federal court on diversity. The case is here on an appeal by the personal representative from a dismissal of the action by the trial court after a denial of her request for leave to make an amendment to the petition. The request for leave to amend was made at the commencement of the trial.
