Western Union Telegraph Co. v. Mooney
160 S.W. 318 | Tex. App. | 1913
The testimony of appellee describing her condition and state of mind at the time the message was sent was admissible because relevant to the issue of the necessity for the presence, comfort, and aid of her sister, the addressee in the message.
Nor do we think the verdict and judgment excessive. If the allegations of appellee's petition are true, and the verdict affirms that they are, then a recovery of $225 for the loss of the comfort and assistance which she would have received from the presence of her sister in the hour of her sadness following the death and burial of her husband clearly is not excessive.
Judgment affirmed.
