271 F. 287 | 6th Cir. | 1921
The Express Company maintained an office at a small station in Kentucky, and its agent received from the railroad, consigned to an oil company in the vicinity, an iron wheel 42 inches in diameter, and with a rim 10 inches wide, and weighing about 200 pounds. The Express Company’s agent, instead of putting this in the warehouse until it should be called for, left it standing on the cinder platform, tilted over against the loading platform. The children of the town were in the habit of playing about the station building and grounds. On Sunday afternoon two boys tilted the wheel back to its upright position and rolled it up and down
On each writ of error, the judgment is affirmed.
