DAVIS, Justice. . ,

I dissent'from the finding of the majority in this case. When this Court reversed and remanded -this case,- Texarkana Bus Co. v. Carter, 292 S.W.2d 869, we first held that the verdict of the jury was so contrary, to the overwhelming preponderance of the evidence as to be manifestly unjust and clearly wrong. To. my mind, then-and now,-this was a holding by this Court that the jury verdict was prompted by-passion and prejudice, and the Court thought then and I think now,- that the testimony as quoted in, the original opinion fully supports our holding. . • • .
