1Opinion of the Court
MYERS, Associate Judge:
Josie B. Keeter, one of the appellees in this case, sued appellant, Washington Sheraton Corporation, for damages for personal injuries suffered in a fall on an escalator in appellant’s hotel. The corporation denied any negligence on its part and filed a third party complaint against The Peelle Company, co-appellee, which had installed the escalator and which had an oral service agreement with the hotel at the time of the accident. 1 A jury trial resulted in a verdict against appellant. The trial judge thereafter dismissed the third party complaint. This appeal ensued.
