Description
ROSSMAN, Justice. This is an appeal by the plaintiff, Earl F. Galer, from a judgment which the circuit court entered in favor of the defendants, five in number, after the jury had returned its verdict in favor of four of the defendants and a directed verdict in favor of the fifth, Otto G. Benefiel. The defendants are (1) Weyerhaeuser Timber Co., (2) R. S. Bonn and J. H. Beaver, and (3) Herbert E. Hunter and Otto G. Benefiel. The defendant Weyerhaeuser Timber Co., to whom we will refer as Weyerhaeuser, was the plaintiffs employer. The defendants Bonn and Beaver constitute a partnership which engaged in the pipe fitting business. The defendants Hunter and Benefiel were journeymen pipefitters who worked for wages. Benefiel has made no appearance in this court. In his complaint the plaintiff sought damages on account of an injury which he incurred December 18, 1952, while working in the pulp mill of the Springfield plant of Weyerhaeuser. According to the complaint, the plaintiff had ascended a tubular scaffold, defectively constructed, and had fallen from it.
