U.S. Supreme Court PENNSYLVANIA R. CO. v. CHAMBERLAIN, 288 U.S. 333 (1933)

[Page 288 U.S. 333, 344]

Leaving out of consideration, then, the inference relied upon, the case for respondent is left without any substantial support in the evidence, and a verdict in her favor would have rested upon mere speculation and conjecture. This, of course, is inadmissible. C.M. & St. P. Ry. v. Coogan, 271 U.S. 472, 478, 46 S.Ct. 564; Gulf, etc., R.R. v. Wells, 275 U.S. 455, 459, 48 S.Ct. 151; New York C.R. Co. v. Ambrose, supra; Stevens v. The White City, supra.

The judgment of the Circuit Court of Appeals is reversed and that of the District Court is affirmed.

Mr. Justice STONE and Mr. Justice CARDOZO concur in the result.
