1Opinion of the Court
WILLIAM E. MILLER, Circuit Judge.
The appellant, executrix of her husband’s estate, brought this action under the Federal Employers’ Liability Act (FELA), 45 U.S.C. § 51 et seq., alleging that her husband’s death was caused by appellee’s negligence. She contends on appeal that erroneous instructions and rulings on evidence by the district court caused the jury mistakenly to find the decedent contributorily negligent to an excessive degree and also to return a damage award that did not fully reflect the decedent’s future income. She therefore contends that she is entitled to a new trial.
