Kellum v. Rounds

On May 14,1937, William Kellum, just after alighting from a school bus, came in violent contact with an automobile driven by J. A. Rounds. At that time, William Kellum was fourteen years of age. He and his father brought suit against Rounds and wife, the boy seeking recovery for his injuries, the father for expenses incurred on behalf of his son.

Upon this appeal, the only question presented is — Did the plaintiffs make out a case for the jury?
