The defence contended that as Manson had undertaken to superin- tend the removal of the piano, he was a contributory party to any negligence. uu VJ 9:1 uuuutvuo 'ruAccording to the defendants, they had rented the piano from Manson at $5 a month for use in their store, but the pianist complained that it ' was not in good condition, so they % requested another instrument. Man- son agreed to let them have a piano which had been used by a music . teacher who had left town, and gave them the key to the premises where the second piano had been left. The piano was moved to the Lazarou store and Manson told them to keep the first instrument storedthere un- til he asked for it. This was in July of the present year. A month later Manson said that he wanted the first piano back and personally superin- tended its removal from the Lazarou store. It was placed on the truck and Manson _summoned a boy who was standing nearby to hold the pi? ano in place. When the truck made a sharp turn on the way back to Manson's store, the piano fell out into the road. Int- _I_p__- , ,1 I 1 11,.

Manson at $5 per lmonth for thesummer season, they agreed to. take the piano from Man- son's store and also bring it back at the end `of the season. When the piano was en route back to Man- son s, however, in the Lazarou truck, it skidded off the truck at a corner and was badly smashed. In the Ses- sions before His Honor Judge Vance, .at the Court House today, Manson's suit for damages was heard. Man- son had refused $50 settlement of- fered by the Lazarous.
