1Opinion of the CourtKeeler, J.
At the conclusion of plaintiff’s case defendant put in evidence a statement by plaintiff’s intestate verified by the testimony of the defendant’s investigator, rested and moved for a directed verdict in its favor on the ground that the plaintiff had failed to show due care on the part of the deceased, and freedom from negligence proximately and efficiently contributing to the injury. In the argument before the Superior Court and in this court, the negligence of defendant’s motorman was assumed, and had the case gone to the jury there was abundant evidence to establish this fact.
