Description
DRAPER, Presiding Judge. Action by appellant to recover damages for personal injuries. At the Conclusion of all the evidence the court, on appellee's motion, directed a verdict in their favor. The correctness of this ruling is the only question presented. The evidence most favorable to appellant follows the allegations of her complaint, and discloses that appellees owned or leased certain property where they operated, for profit, a game of chance called bingo. It was a large, one-story frame building reached by a drive constructed of level, smooth crushed stone which extended to the entrance to the building, which entrance was variously estimated at twenty-five to fifty feet in width. The floor of the building was about four inches higher than the drive and was constructed of cement, so that the floor and drive were of about the same color and at night were scarcely distinguishable from each other. The hall was more brilliantly lighted than the outside, so that a crowd standing or moving in the entrance cast a shadow over the step-up into the building.
