Syllabus

<p>Negligence — Street railways — “Stop, look and listen.’’</p> <p>In an action by a woman against a street railway company to recover damages for personal injuries, plaintiff testified that she stopped three times when within forty feet of the track, and looked and listened for a car; that the last stop was made when she was close to the track; and that when on the track she first saw the car which struck her; that the car was suddenly lighted and was 125 feet from her. She testified that she stopped the fourth time when she was between the rails. The inference from her whole testimony was that the last stop was made when she first saw the light and in her effort to get out of danger by going back. Held, that the case was for the jury, and that a verdict and judgment for plaintiff should be sustained.</p>
