Rowand v. Germantown Trust Co.
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania · Decided March 1, 1915 · Brown, Elkin, Mestrezat, Potter, Stewart
248 Pa. 341; 93 A. 1070; 1915 Pa. LEXIS 573

Rowand v. Germantown Trust Co.

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam,

The question of the liability of the estate of James P. Fleming for the injuries sustained by the appellee depends upon whether Maxwell was a mere interloper when he took charge of the automobile of the decedent or had been put in charge of it by the latter. This was a pure question of fact for the jury, and, as there was testimony that Fleming had placed him in charge of his *343car, describing him to a bystander as an experienced chauffeur, the verdict was justified.

Judgment affirmed.
