Certiorari granted and judgments reversed.

Reported below: No. 981, 108 Ga. App. 808, 134 S.E.2d 555.

PER CURIAM.

The petitions for writs of certiorari are granted and the judgments are reversed. Rogers v. Missouri Pacific R. Co., 352 U.S. 500.

MR. JUSTICE HARLAN, whom MR. JUSTICE STEWART joins, dissenting in No. 981, and dissenting in part and concurring in part in No. 1004.

These are two more negligence cases, neither of which should have been brought here since both involve only questions of the sufficiency of the evidence to support the jury verdicts. See, e. g., my dissenting opinion in Dennis v. Denver Rio Grande W. R. Co., 375 U.S. 208, 212, and those in the cases therein cited; cf. my dissenting opinion in Eichel v. New York Central R. Co., 375 U.S. 253, 256.

Feeling obliged, however, to reach the merits because the cases are before us, see my opinion in Rogers v. Missouri P. R. Co., 352 U.S. 500, 559-562, I dissent from the judgment in No. 981 and concur in the judgment in No. 1004.
