Castleberry v. Gulf, C. & S. F. Ry. Co.

WILLSON, O. J.

(after stating’ the facts as above). As we view the record, the judgment rendered by the trial court was the only one he could have rendered in the case. As shown in the statement above, appellants’ suit was for damages Mrs. Castleberry might have recovered for injury she suffered if she had not died, and for damages appellants-suffered (they alleged) because of her death.
