JUDGMENT FOR CLEANER
ISSET ASIDE BY COURT
Appellate Tribunal Holds Window
Washer Assumed Risk in Using
Storage Company's Platform.

The Court of Appeals of the District
Of Columbia today in an opinion by
Chief Justice Shepard set aside a ver-
dict for $1,000 damages awarded in the
lower court against the Fidelity Stor-
age Company for the death of Frank
Hopkins. Hopkins was employed in
cleaning windows in a building owned
by the company. and placed a small
stepladder on top of platform which
had been erected by the company. The
ladder slipped and Hopkins was thrown
to the concrete floor of the building
in his death.
At the conclusion of the evidence At
torneys Daniel Thew Wright and T.
Morris Wampler for the defendant
asked the trial court to return a ver-
dict for the defendant on the theory
that the platform was not unsafe, and
that if 1t was the workman had as
sumed the risk. The lower court re-
fused the instruction and the jury re-
turned verdict for the Administrative
for the death of the workman
In reversing this finding the appel
late court says: 1T appears from the
non -contradicted evidence in this case
that the scaffold was not of itself un-
safe or insecure. 1t was open to the
view of the intestate and he engaged
to labor upon it. 1t may have been a
risk for him to mount on the short
stepladder placed on the planks, but, if
so. it was a matter within his observa- =
tion and he assumed the risk of it,"
The court concludes that no negli-
gence of the defendant was shown by
the evidence and that the workman as
sumed whatever risk there was and
that the trial judge should have given
the instruction asked by counsel for
the defendant.
