Syllabus

<p>Evidence — Self-Serving Declarations — Res Gestae. In an action by an agent for salary and expenses incurred in a European trip, a report of his trip, made upon his return at the home office, at the defendant’s request, reviewed and accepted at the time by the defendant, is not inadmissible because containing self-serving declarations argumentatively pointing out the necessities of certain expenditures, but may be received as an incident between the parties contemporaneous with the trip in the nature of res gestae of the whole transaction.</p> <p>Appeal — Review—Verdicts. A verdict upon conflicting evidence will not be set aside if there is sufficient competent evidence to sustain it.</p>
