Martin v. Anniston Foundry Co.

LAWSON, Justice.

In this case the plaintiff, W. T. Martin, received serious bodily injuries when he fell to a concrete floor from a scaffold on which he was standing while painting the interior of a building owned by the defendant, Anniston Foundry Company, a corporation.

Plaintiff was an employee of one J. A. Biddle, who shortly prior to April 15, 1950, entered into an agreement with Anniston Foundry Company to paint one of its buildings.

The cause of the accident was the breaking of a steel hook which was made in the blacksmith shop of the foundry company out of steel belonging to that company.
