Goodman v. Harris

Arthur Ralph Goodman, Jr., died and Janet MeCrum sustained permanent injuries as the result of inhaling carbon monoxide from a butane gas heater in a cabin which they were occupying overnight. Janet and the heirs of Arthur have appealed from a judgment of nonsuit in favor of Pacific Gas and Electric Company, the owner of the property where the accident occurred.

E. L. Harris, the corporation’s tenant, and his wife Dorothy were in possession and control of the premises. Mr. and Mrs. Harris, Helen M. Karteus, his mother, and P. G. & E. were sued for damages by Janet and the heirs of Arthur.
