    In this personal injury Federal Employers' Liability action arising out of an


    accident, the jury found for the plaintiff.

    The defendant urges here, as it did below, that the verdict was against the
    weight of the evidence and that it was excessive. As to the latter, the court
    below specifically found that "the amount of the verdict is not so excessive as to
    shock the conscience of the Court." Our examination of the record discloses no
    error. The judgment of the district court will be affirmed.
