((Supreme Court, Appellate Term.
January 5, ,1911.)

Headnote

Appeal from Municipal Court, Borough (Of Manhattan, Fifth District. Action by Clare I Baker against the Consolidated Gas Company. 'From a judgment for defendant, plaintiff appeals. Affirmed.
Wallenstein & Armstrong, for appellant. Stuart H. Benton, for respondent.

There was sufficient evidence to support the finding of the jury in behalf of the defendant. The witness Walsh testified that the plaintiff told him shortly after the accident that she was in the next room at the time of the explosion and was not hurt. The jury evidently believed this testimony, and there is no reason shown for disturbing their conclusion. Judgment affirmed, with costs.
