Appeal and error, \u00a7 1411 \u2014when verdict affirmed on conflicting evidence. A verdict for a plaintiff on conflicting evidence will be affirmed where the court finds no fact or circumstance from the record which gives more weight to defendant\u2019s denials than to plaintiff\u2019s assertions.\n2.

A plaintiff suing for wages is entitled to an allowance for attorney\u2019s fees without affirmative proof that a written demand was served three days before the bringing of suit, where such fact is alleged in the verified statement of claim and is not denied by the affidavit of merits of defense.\nError to the Municipal Court of Chicago; the Hon. Robert H. Scott, Judge, presiding. Heard in the Branch Appellate Court at the October term, 1912.\nAffirmed.\nOpinion filed November 20, 1913.\nStatement of the Case.\nAction by George Gough against A. W. Bensinger for wages.
