home many hundred feet away from
the acene of the test, but stated that
the conclusion broke many window
lights in the house and Jared off much

and that she was so frightened by it
that she tainted away and became un-
conscious, remaining thus for several
days; this resulted IN injury to her
head and nervous System to such u
degree that she is now unfit to per
form her usual household duties, and
asks that the defendant Company be
made to pay her for the money expend-
ed fof doctoring, and also damages for
the injury in all other ways
The defence was that the safe was
made by the defendant Company but
turned over to Rodman Safe Company,
for whom il was made, TO be tested by
it's agents who alone were responsible
for any damages, if any occurred, to
the plaintiff; that the defendant Com
pany did assist ut the experiment in
blowing up the safe, but was not direct
~ responsible as stated above; the
defendant admitted knowing of the
condition Of Mra lIockenbury, the
plaintiff, a short time after the ex-
plosion, and mt once sent II physician
