JUDGMENT is REVERSED
IN FAVOR OF CONTRACTOR
Appellate Court Holds Verdict for
w. E. Crutchley Was
Erroneous.

Judgment against the National Fire
Proof1ng Company in favor of William
Z. Crutchley, carpenter injured by a
falling iron beam during the construc-
tlon of the new bureau of engraving
and printing. has been set aside by the
District Court of Appeals in an opn-
ion by Chief Justice Shepard. The
court held that the fellow servant doc
trine applied. and that the lower tri-
bunal erred in not instructing verdict
for the company.
The chief justice pointed out that
while fronwork construction is a spe-
cial industry, and requires a special
set of labors for construction work.
the removing of an iron beam required
no more skill than the removal of a
wooden one or of scaffoldinC, there
fore the company was not obliged to
have ironworkers remove the beam. If
there was negligence in adjusting the
rope for hosting, the court found that
it was done by fellow workers of
Crutchfield, and was the result of a
risk assumed by him with his employ
ment.
Justice Robb wrote a dissenting opin-
ion, in which he held that the injury
was not the result of an assumed risk.
The PLAINTIFF he says, with no fault
of his own, has been very seriously in
jured through an accident resulting
from the defendants negligence. The
judgment should be affirmed
