MURRAH, Circuit Judge.
The estate of one of the passengers on a Transworld Airlines regularly scheduled flight sued the Company and its pilot’s estate, alleging that the pilot’s negligence caused a crash of the airplane in New Mexico in which all passengers and crew perished. At the time of the disaster, a New Mexico statute provided that whenever a person shall die from the negligence of an employee while driving a public conveyance, the owner of such public conveyance shall forfeit and pay for every person so dying the sum of $10,000. § 22-20-4, N.M.S.A.1953. 1
