Judgment affirmed, with costs.

All concur, except Crosby, J., who dissents and votes for reversal and for dismissal of the complaint. (The judgment awards the claimant damages for personal injuries sustained while escaping from an institution for mental defectives.) Present — Crosby, Lewis, Cunningham, Taylor and Dowling, JJ.
