[United States Fidelity & Guarantee Co. vs. Yose, 183 S. 260.]
On May 14, 1931, Robert L. Payne was a member of a flying squadron
in the service of the United States Government, and his squadron
was spending the night at Nashville. While being transported upward
from one floor to another at the Noel Hotel in an elevator operated
by Gaines Ensley, Payne was thrown or fell to the floor due to a
sudden jerk of the elevator, and its inner door being open, his
head was caught between the floor of the elevator and the beam at
the rise of the next floor, resulting in the instant death of Sergeant
Payne.
