1Opinion of the CourtCarlisle, J.
Headnote 1 is self-explanatory and requires no elaboration.
As there was a sharp conflict in the evidence as to the material facts together with all reasonable deductions and inferences to be drawn therefrom, a verdict was authorized but not demanded for either party, and the trial court, consequently, did not err in denying the defendants’ motion for a directed verdict, their motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict, nor the general grounds of their motion for a new trial. Shaw v. Probasco, 139 Ga. 481 (1) (77 S. E. 577); Snyder v. Elkan, 187 Ga. 164 (1) (199 S. E. 891).
