A HYPOTHESIS
FORM OF QUESTION
First in Many Months Asked
In Connection With the
Doney Case Trial.
SOME EXPERT TESTIMONY
PLAINTIFFS SEEK TO ESTABLISH
VALUE OF SERVICE RENDERED
OLD MAN DONEY DURING HIS
ILLNESSES.

The first hypothetical question that
has been propounded in the Wayne
circuit court for some time has been
presented to the witnesses by plain
tiff's counsel in thecase of George
Doney VS.. the Dickinson Trust Co. as
administrator of the estate of the late
William DOney. The question is in
three parts and relates to the value OF
services rendered man in the condi-
ton the deceased is represented to
have been in at the time he made his
home with and was cared for by the
plaintiff and his family. The ques-
sional experience in the care of the
sick.
The estimates of the value of such
services differ. BY some it was placed
at about SIS for the first period which
covered the early illness, for the sec
ond period, when the elder Doney be-
came worse the work was said to be
worth $50 per week and for the few
months preceding his death when
conditions were much more compli
Gated the work required in nursing
and attending to him was said to be
worth $25. The first hypothetical
question requires fifteen minutes to
read. The witnesses are requested to
answer on the assumption that the
facts stated are truthful

WHO OWLS THE AIR? .
Ancient Legal Maxim Says Man Own.
Land "Up to tho Sky"

Ancient Legal Maxim Says Man Owns
Land "Up to tho Sky
It is still moot point whether or
not the flying Of airships over private
property may be opposed by due proc
ess OF law.
In England there is an ancient max
i'm embodied in the English common
law which says, HE who owns the
land owns It up to skies" This venera-
Bile. rule. legal authority points out,
is as good today as ever it was and is
full Of menacing significance to the
airship builder.
The effect of this rule Is to give the
owner of land the exclusive right to
the free enjoyment Of the air over and
above the four corners of his holding,
and any interference with that enjoy
ment, however apparently slight and
harmless, constitutes Il trespass, for
which an action may be brought.
Applications for injunctions against
airship owners and actions for trespass
by aggrieyed landowners are not IN
likely proceedings in the near FUTURE
