Syllabus

<p>Negligence — Parties defendant — Gas companies.</p> <p>On an appeal from a verdict and judgment against a gas company for personal injuries sustained as the result of an explosion of gas, the record disclosed that another company was in fact the owner of the pipe where the gas exploded. There was evidence, however, that the two companies were intimately associated in their management, and it appeared that the employees of the company sued repaired the break and that the district in which the leak occurred was in charge of the company sued.
