Herber Forbes, of Charlie Heber Forbes, Jr., deceas ed, against W. A. Allen Jr., admin istrator of Dr. F. Marion Davis, de ceased. Both Mr. Davis and Charlie Heber Forbes were killed in an automobile accident near Morehead City on Sun day, November 15, 1086. The com plaint contended that the automobile was being driven at an excessive rate of speed under the direction of Dr. Davis and the tires on the automobile were worn to such an extent that they were unsafe. After admitting preliminary sec tions in the complaint, the answer alleges that the accident was due to no act or fault upon the part of the part of the defendant's interstate, hut "was occasioned when a tire blew on said car unexpectedly and without warning blew out; that the bursting of said tire, in the exercise of ordin ary care, could not have been reason ably forseen by defendant's inter state," and was an accident "pure and simple and in nowise due to any negligence" upon the part of the ow ner. It further contends that if the tire was in a weakened condition, "such condition was well known to plain tiffs interstate, who lad on many previous occasions ridden in said car with defendant's interstate . .
