Standard Cement Co. v. Minor
Indiana Court of Appeals
From Floyd Circuit Court; William C. Utz, Judge. Action by Maggie Minor, as administratrix of the estate of Wesley Minor, deceased, against the Standard Cement Company. From a judgment on a verdict for plaintiff for $5,000, defendant appeals.
1Opinion of the CourtComstock, J.
Appellee recovered judgment for the death of Wesley Minor, caused by an explosion in a cement quarry while in appellant’s service. The complaint is based upon the second subdivision of section one of the employers’ liability act (Acts 1893, p. 294, §8017 Burns 1908). A demurrer for want of facts was overruled to the complaint, and this action of the court is assigned as one of the errors.
Since the appeal the statute upon which the complaint is based has been held unconstitutional as to “other corporations than railroads.” Bedford Quarries Co. v. Bough (1907), 168 Ind. 671.
