FRANK. Circuit Judge
(concurring).
I agree unequivocally with Judge Hand’s opinion. I think it well to add that his conclusion as to the liability in personam of appellant is in line with the doctrine of MacPherson v. Buick Motor Co., 217 N.Y. 382, 111 N.E. 1050, L.R.A.1916F, 696, Ann.Cas.l916C, 440; see Restatement of Torts, § 388. The owner here seems tome to be in much the same relation to appellant as is the manufacturer of an automobile to a purchaser from a dealer who is an independent contractor.
