1Opinion of the CourtJanvier, J.
Plaintiff sues for damages for the death of his daughter, who was killed by an automobile truck.
He alleges that the truck was driven by defendant Cazaubon, while acting within the scope of his employment as an automobile truck driver for August J. Claverie & Co., Inc., the other defendant.
The defense of the corporate defendant is based on two contentions: First, that it was not its truck which struck and killed Miss Vuillemot; and, second, that if it was its truck, the driver was not, at the time, performing services for the owner, but had taken it out for his own purposes and convenience.
