1Opinion of the Court
Statement of the Case.
MONROE, J.
Plaintiffs sue for the damages resulting to them from the death of their minor son, who lost his life while in defendant’s employ through an accident which plaintiffs attribute to defendant’s negligence. Defendant denies the alleged negligence, denies that the accident occurred while plaintiffs’ son was engaged in the discharge of any duty to which he had been assigned by it, and alleges that the apparatus by which he was injured was under the control of another person and was being used by the minor, at his own instance and for his own purposes.
