BeocK, J.,
dissenting.
In my view the allegations in the “FOURTH” paragraph of the complaint to the effect that the defendant knew that the baseball bat was not on the steps at the time the plaintiff entered; that’ defendant knew that after she entered the home the baseball bat was left on one of the steps; that defendant knew that the steps were not lighted; and that defendant knew that plaintiff would use the steps as she was leaving, are sufficient allegations of fact from which it can be inferred that defendant’s failure to warn the plaintiff was wanton negligence. This should be sufficient to withstand a motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted.
I vote to reverse the order of the trial court which sustained the demurrer to the complaint.
