Description
Defendant Crowell is a general building contractor. About 10 a.m. on February 2, 1944, Herman W. Enloe, one of defendants employees, marked and tacked a 20-foot 2 x 4 plate temporarily in place on the second floor of a building under construction. This work ordinarily followed the laying of the hardwood floors and their oiling for protection from the weather. The floor on the second story of the building had not yet been oiled. Plaintiff, an employee of a subcontractor, was laying flooring between two stairways leading to the second floor. He observed Enloes activities and remarked, "Take it easy, they (the hardwood floor men) are not through yet." Enloe replied, "I am taking it easy." Plaintiff then dislodged the plate and threw it onto the roof of a porch at a lower part of the building. Enloe remarked, "You think you have done something smart." Plaintiff then returned to his floorlaying. Enloe engaged in other work for about 15 minutes, then retrieved the plate and again began to tack it in place. Plaintiff walked towards the plate and kicked it off the floor. Immediately thereafter, while he was standing about 15 feet from Enloe, the latter threw his carpenters hammer at plaintiff, striking him on the head and seriously injuring him. Enloe left the building and went to defendants office on the premises, where he remained for two hours. He did no more work on the building, and quit his employment with defendant on the following day. He resumed his employment with defendant in April 1944.
