CLARIC, J.

¶1 '(dissenting) — I seriously doubt that plaintiff made a submissible ease; but, ■ as that question is a close one, I am willing that the case be retried. However, because of the closeness of the case; the confusion injected by giving certain instructions for respondent and refusing withdrawal instructions asked by appellants [discussed in "'the'principal opinion], and portions of the argument of respondent’s counsel [held to be reversible by the dissenting opinion *882 and Conceded to be improper, but not reversible by tlie principal opinion], I cannot vote to affirm the judgment.

¶2 I therefore concur in the result of the dissenting opinion of Judge Ellison.
