1Opinion of the CourtJustice Windes
Appellant was injured while m the employ of appellees, by being crushed between two box cars, on August 28,1894, and brought suit to recover damages. On a trial before the court and a jurir, at the close of plaintiff’s evidence, the court instructed a verdict for defendants, and rendered judgment thereon, from which plaintiff appeals.
The questions presented are, first, was appellant, as a matter of law under the evidence, a fellow-servant of the persons causing the injury, and thus debarred from recovering; and second, was appellant guilty of contributory negligence, as a matter of law ?
