Opinion filed March 8, 1948 Released for publication April 5, 1948
AUTOMOBILES AND MOTOR VEHICLES, § 107 — insurance of defendant indicated by witness. In trial of action for personal injuries arising out of automobile collision, where witness for plaintiff, in response to request by plaintiff's attorney to tell what happened after collision, stated that defendant said "you don't have to worry. I am covered by," and thereupon plaintiff's counsel stopped the witness from completing his answer, held that although witness had made similar statement as to defendant being insured in prior deposition taken with same counsel present, there was not any evidence of improper conduct of counsel in asking the question, and no reversible error was shown.
