## Opinion text

Boslaugh, J.,
dissenting in part.
I dissent from that part of the opinion of the court that allows the plaintiff prejudgment interest. In a case as *69 doubtful as this, the defendant should be allowed to litigate her rights without the risk of a judgment that will include more than $200,000 in interest.
White, C. J., concurs in this dissent.
