An averment that an engineer Of

any kind and thus seriously injured him
alleges a misteasance a violation of the

injured employee.
2 Where the injured employee may
proceed Jointly or severally AGAINST the
nonresident railway COMPANY and the
resident engineer liable for the injury
and where he elects in good faith to pro
seed against them Jointly the action does
not become a separable controversy for

common law nor because different lines
Of proof may be necessary to establish

Appeal from Marion County.
AFFIRMED.
Syllabus BY the Court. Benson, j
In an action for damages for the death
of a passenger evidence was adduced to
show that it was the custom on the de-
PENDANTS night trains to turn down the
lights and furnish pillows for passen-
gers who would pay for their use; that
a passenger who was asleep on such a
train when it reached the place of his
destination at 1 o'clock in the morning,
was awakened Immediately after it left
the station; that assisted by the porter
he went forward in an apparently drowsy
condition and stepped off the train and
was killed; that the conductor was near
by and observed his departure; and that
the train was not stopped nor its speed
slackened, nor the passenger restrained
although the danger was apparent to the
train men. 1t is held that demurrer to
the evidence was properly Overruled, and
that there was no error in refusing q
request for an instruction to find for the
defendant.
