Abstract

In an automobile guest action for injuries received when defendant drove his auto against the center pier of a viaduct on a city street, wherein the only defense was plaintiff's contributory negligence in remaining in the auto with knowledge that defendant was intoxicated, defendant testified that he was not under the influence of liquor. Held, defendant could not thereafter offer testimony of other witnesses to prove he was intoxicated at a time shortly after the accident, since his own testimony was in regard to facts peculiarly within his own knowledge and given apparently in good faith. Vondrashek v. Dignan, (Minn. 1937) 274 N. W. 609.
