Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Friday, Eldredge & Clark by William H. Sutton, Little Rock, for appellant.

H. David Blair, Batesville, for Wilhite.

Highsmith, Gregg, Hart & Farris by Phillip B. Farris, Batesville, for appellees.


PURTLE, Justice.

This is a tort action from the Circuit Court of Independence County, Arkansas, wherein appellant was found liable to the estate and heirs of three young men who were electrocuted when a boom on a vehicle contacted an overhead power line. The appellant argues six points for reversal. We reach only the first point because we find no evidence of negligence sufficient to support the verdicts. Therefore, we reverse and dismiss the cases.
