Summary
In Little v. Gogotz, 324 Ill. App. 516, 58 N.E.2d 336 (abstract opinion), the court in sustaining a verdict for the defendant held that neither the photograph showing slight damage to the defendant's car nor the fact that the collision caused "a loud report" outweighed the defendant's testimony that he was driving at a slow rate of speed.
