Opinion

'WKI.LBOti'S', District Judge.

I am of opinion that the damages claimed in said paragraphs of the complaint are speculative and remote, and, furthermore, that mental distress, unaccompanied by physical injury, is not a proper element of damages in a case of this sort. The motion to strike out will be allowed.
