Description
The appellant, who was plaintiff below, sought damages for personal injuries suffered while working as a clerk at the Frey Hotel for the defendants, John B. Frey, Garman Helms and Elenor Helms. At the close of the plaintiff's case, the trial court sustained a motion by the defendant Elenor Helms for a directed verdict in her favor and rendered judgment accordingly. The defendant John B. Frey had been dismissed from the action prior to the hearing before the jury and that matter is not in question in this appeal. The other defendant Garman Helms, husband of Elenor Helms, could not be found for service of process, and, therefore, the only defendant at the time of the trial before the jury was Elenor Helms. The plaintiff appeals from the action of the court in directing a verdict against her and in favor of the defendant. The Helmses had obtained a legal separation after the alleged injuries, but before the case was heard by the court.
