McCORD, Circuit Judge.
George Danko sued Ernest B. Lewy as a warehouseman on an oral contract of bailment for the recovery of damages for the loss of household effects which were destroyed by fire in the warehouse on September 15, 1943. The suit was for the amount of $4,343.50, and the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff for $2,000. Thereupon Lewy moved for a judgment notwithstanding the verdict, and in the alternative, for a new trial. The motion for a new trial was overruled. The motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict was sustained. Plaintiff has appealed.
