PHILLIPS, Circuit Judge.
Peter J. Diederich and Rose Marie Die-derich 1 brought this action against the American News Company 2 to recover damages for the death of Bernard J. Diederich, 3 alleging it to have been caused by the negligence of the News Company.
The sole question presented is whether the court erred in directing a verdict for the News Company on the ground that it appeared from the evidence, as a matter of law, that the decedent assumed the risk of the defective equipment upon which the claim of negligence was predicated.
