Appeal from Circuit Court, Stoddard County; James V. Billings, Judge.
"Not to be published in State Reports."
Action by Roy Kneezle against Scott County Milling Company and others for injuries from a collision between plaintiff's school bus and a truck which allegedly was owned by defendant Fred L. Sturgeon, and was being driven at the time of the collision by defendant Allen Wade to carry out a conspiracy among defendants to transport products of the milling company in violation of statutes regulating contract haulers and public carriers and rules of the Public Service Commission. From a judgment for plaintiff, defendants appealed. The appeal was abandoned by the individual defendants.
Affirmed.
Bailey & Bailey, of Sikeston, and Oliver & Oliver, of Cape Girardeau, for appellant Scott County Milling Co.
Stephen Barton, of Benton, and Blanton & Montgomery, of Sikeston, for respondent.
This cause originated in the circuit court of Scott county by the filing of a petition by plaintiff on June 18, 1935. Thereafter, August 12, 1935, plaintiff filed his first amended petition which is in two counts. Defendant Scott County Milling Company filed its separate answer, and defendants Allen Wade and Fred L. Sturgeon filed their joint answer to plaintiff's first amended petition. The separate answer of the Scott County Milling Company to the second count of plaintiff's first amended petition is a general denial. Change of venue was granted to Stoddard county, where the cause was tried on May 18, 1936, during the regular April term of said court. At the close of plaintiff's evidence he elected to stand on the second count of the first amended petition. The trial resulted in a verdict and judgment for plaintiff for the sum of $500 for personal injury and $500 for damages to the school bus. Defendants filed motions for a new trial which were overruled and the cause was duly appealed to this court. The appeal seems to have been abandoned by the individual defendants and is being prosecuted by the corporate defendant only.
In view of the issues involved, the second count of plaintiff's amended petition, omitting caption and signatures, is set out in full:
