On the new trial of this case, awarded by the decision reported in 77 W. Va. 125, 87 S. E. 187, the trial court sustained the motion of the defendant to strike out the evidence and direct a verdict for it, and, on a verdict rendered in obedience to such direction, a judgment was entered, for review of which this writ of error was obtained.
