Syllabus

<p>Negligence — Evidence—Cause of injury.</p> <p>If there is any other cause apparent, to which an injury may be attributed, the inference of negligence cannot be drawn.</p> <p>Where in an action to recover damages for the negligent repairs to an automobile, the evidence shows that the condition of the machine may have been the result of a collision, and there is nothing in the testimony to reasonably exclude any other cause of the accident than the improper workmanship of the defendant, the jury cannot be permitted to guess that the accident was caused by negligence.</p>
