73 Ind. App. 329 | Ind. Ct. App. | 1920
This appeal is from a judgment recovered by appellees against appellant, in an action in which appellant is charged with negligently constructing and maintaining a service wire of the Central Union Telephone Company, extending from its main line to appellees’ garage, so as to allow it to come in contact with a high-voltage wire of the Spencer Electric Light, Power, Heat and Water Company, and also to come in contact with a metal roof of appellees’ garage, thereby negligently transmitting the current from its main wire and from the wire of the lighting company to such metal roof, and thence to a gasoline tank in such garage, which resulted in setting fire to and destroying the same, together with two automobiles and other property contained therein.
Judgment affirmed.
