No. 5636), 206 Cal. 377, this day decided by this court. A nonsuit was granted as to the defendant Southern California Gas Company, but the case against Steen went to the jury, which returned a verdict in his favor. For the reasons stated in the case above referred to, the judgment of nonsuit in favor of the Southern California Gas Company is reversed and the judgment in favor of defendant Steen is affirmed.
Tyler, P.J., and Cashin, J., concurred.
