1Opinion of the Court
HOLMES, Circuit Judge.
On August 31, 1939, Mrs. Robert Seckinger sustained a fall while shopping in an F. W. Woolworth store. Alleging that the fall was caused directly and proximately by a defective condition in the floor and that she thereby sustained injuries, Mrs. Seckinger filed this action for damages, and her husband sued in the same action to recover expenses incurred and to be incurred by him in providing medical attention for his wife. Each secured a judgment upon a jury verdict. Two motions for a new trial were overruled, and this appeal was brought.
