John J. Sullivan, Judge, presiding.\nHeard in this court at the March term, 1915.\nAffirmed.\nOpinion filed November 15, 1915.\nStatement of the Case.\nAction of tort by M. C. Conlon, plaintiff, against Frank Trenkhorst, defendant, in the Municipal Court of Chicago, to recover for injuries to plaintiff\u2019s electric car caused by being struck by defendant\u2019s automobile, alleged to have been negligently operated. To reverse a judgment for plaintiff, defendant prosecutes this writ of error.\nAndrew J. Redmond, for plaintiff in error.\nEben F. Runyan, for defendant in error.\nAbstract of the Decision.\n1. Automobiles and garages, \u00a7 2 \u2014when evidence sufficient to show negligence. In an action of tort to recover for injuries to plaintiff\u2019s electric car by being struck by a 60-horsepower automobile weighing 5,000 pounds, alleged to have been negligently operated by defendant, where it appeared that defendant, going south at a rate of speed estimated at from twenty-five to thirty miles an hour, turned west at a speed of fifteen miles an hour, veering towards the south side of the street into which he turned, so as to strike plaintiff\u2019s electric car which was running east on the same street, evidence held to warrant a finding that defendant was negligent, although he claimed the accident was due to his attempt to avoid striking children who were on the cross walk as he turned, as the evidence warranted the court in finding that the cause of the accident was defendant\u2019s excessive speed.\n2. Damages, \u00a7 151 \u2014when verdict for injury to automobile not excessive. In an action of tort to recover for damages to plaintiff\u2019s electric car due to defendant\u2019s negligent operation of an automobile, a finding of $247.25 for plaintiff held not excessive under the evidence.\nSee Illinois Notes Digest, Vols. XI to XV, and Cumulative Quarterly, same topic and section number."
