AUTOMOBILES AND MOTOR VEHICLES, § 90 — decedent's careful habits indicating absence of contributory negligence. In action to recover damages for defendant's negligence in striking with his automobile plaintiff's intestate, thereby inflicting injuries upon him which resulted in his death, where there were no eyewitnesses to decedent's injury, held that judgment for plaintiff should be affirmed, since in absence of evidence to contrary, testimony as to decedent's habits coupled with his instincts of self-preservation was sufficient to warrant jury in finding that decedent was free from contributory negligence.
