Collins v. Leahy

Action for $20,000 for personal injuries resulting to plaintiff by being struck in St. Louis, by defendant's automobile, driven at the time by Ernest Compton, his colored chauffeur. At the close of plaintiff's case a peremptory direction was given to find for defendant, and plaintiff thereupon took an involuntary nonsuit with leave to move to set aside. Thereafter, plaintiff's motion to set aside was overruled, and she appealed. This is the third time for this cause to be in an appellate court. [See Collins v. Leahy (Mo. App.), 102 S.W.2d 801, and Collins v. Leahy, 344 Mo. 250, 125 S.W.2d…
