EDUCATION BOARD
FREED FROM BLAME
NOT HELD FOR INJURIES ON
FIRE ESCAPE
Damage Suit for $4,000 Brought by
Vincent Marslgiia Is Decided
Against the Plaintiff by
Judge conrey

BY sustaining a demurrer interposed
by Harley higgins. assistant city at
torney. on behalf of the Los Angeles
city board of education, Judge conrey
yesterday decided, so far as the su-
perior court is concerned, the case OF
Vincent Marsiglia against the board
of education for damages of $20O00 on
account of personal injuries, holding
that the educational body could not oe
declared responsible.
Marsiglia who is 10 years old, was
injured while playing on the fire escape
at the high school building in FEBRUARY
His attorneys contended the escape,
which was raised or lowered by means
of a weight, was a dangerous piece OF
machinery and was Of character 10
attract children. Judge Conrey, IN ms
opinion, declares that the plaintiH was
guilty of trespass, and adds:
IF the plaintiff has a right to recover
damages on the facts here alleged, such
right is an exception to the general
rule which permits land owners to ap-
ply their premises to any lawful use,
and which does not require them TO
guard their premises from dangerous
conditions which may arise in such use
of their property unless, by invitation,
or otherwise, they assume direct
obligation toward the stranger VINO
comes upon the land.
There are exceptions to this general
rule, says the court, and refers to the
decision of the supreme court which
held in a case appealed from the local
courts, that a railroad turntable is
piece of dangerous property and when
left exposed and accessible to children
must be locked or guarded. Failure to
perform this duty, said the higher
court will subject the corporation TO
liability for such damages as may re-
suit to children as a consequence OF
this negligence.
Applying this decision to the present
case Judge Conrey says 1t appears
clear to him that the owner of a build
ing upon which a fire escape has been
placed, even though the escape be a
movable one, is not legally responsible
for injuries which may result from the
breaking down of the appliance while
it is being played upon by children who
have invaded the premises when con-
is taken of the necessity of
mounting it in place and the fact that
to keep it locked would interfere with
its usefulness.
The court denied a motion for leave
to amend the complaint, which dis
poses of the case in the superior court.
1t is understood an appeal will be taken
from the decision.

DIVORCE RULES TO
BE MADE STRINGENT
JUDGE H0USER DEMANDS THE
DEFENDANTS STORY
BaIliff Tom Murphy Advocates More
Leniency, While Harry MeserVe
Says Tie Should Be Bound
More Tightly

Admiral Tom Murphy cast his wealth
er eye introspectiVely around the dt-
vorce court, after one week less than
six months service directing the bear
ings of mismated couples and steering
them to the witness chair, and later
through the double doors at the en-
trance to begin life anew.
Admiral Murphy is bailiff in the first
department ever set aside in Los An
geles county where divorces are tried
exclusively, and after six months SER
vice he says he doesn't like the job.
Incidentally he expresses his opinion as
to how divorce cases should be dis
posed of, from the standpoint of a dis
interested but acute observer.
when two shipmates disagree, they
settle the trouble with their fists or
Delaying pin, or they separate at the
end of the voyage. When a married
couple find 1t impossible to live to-
gether. don't think a man is justified
in striking his wife, but / think there
should be a separation, and instead of
divorce being made more difficult to
procure, think the law should be more
generous; and if the domestic sea has
become so troubled that the boat won't
hold two persons, and one party will go
so far as TO apply for a separation, l
believe it should be granted.
1--WE have a dissolution of partnership
law in this state. When two business
partners can't agree, they file a petit
tion for dissolution, giving the most
superficial reasons, and the petition is
generally granted. I believe this law
should apply to divorces, and in this
way a great deal of scandal which now
comes out in the testimony would be
eliminated"
Admiral Murphy has a snug little
bachelor home at Inglewood. He never
married, for one reason or another,
principally because the greater part of
his early life was passed on the sea.
81 have abandoned the idea of matri-
mony altogether since my experience
in the divorce court" he said. There
are too many shoals and breakers"
H. A. Meserve, clerk in Judge Hous-
er's court, to which department divorce
cases will be transferred for six months
beginning November l. takes a different
view, stating his belief that the law
should be made more stringent concern
ing the granting of DEGREES of legal sep
aration.
His name is signed to printed postals
containing a new rule prepared by
Judge Houser which will be effective
during the six months to come. These
cards will be sent to attorneys rep
resenting plaintiffs in all default cases,
and under the new rule they will be
required to furnish the testimony of
defendants either by the defendants
themselves or by dispositions, In cases
where the rule is not complied with
it will mean a delay in the granting of
DEGREES, and where suspicion arises
that there is collusion between the two
parties to the suit no relief will be
granted, The new ruling is as follows:
Under the rule of department three
the testimony of defendant is required
in all actions for divorce. Please sub
