Description
This action was instituted by the appellee against one Frank Buchanan in the year 1919 to recover damages for an assault and battery. Shortly thereafter, an amended complaint was filed making the Princeton Coal Company an added defendant. The amended complaint sought to recover against the added defendant on the theory that Buchanan was acting as the agent and servant of the company at the time of the assault and battery, and that the company was liable in damages for his wrongful acts. There was a trial and judgment for the plaintiff which judgment was reversed as to said company by this court and a new trial ordered. See Princeton Coal Co. v. Dowdle (1924), 194 Ind. 262, 142 N.E. 419. Thereafter, by change of venue, the cause reached the DuBois Circuit Court where the plaintiff filed his second amended complaint entitled "Robert L. Dowdle v. Frank Buchanan, Deep Vein Coal Company, otherwise known as Princeton Coal Company," more than 10 years after the assault and battery was alleged to have been committed. The cause as to Buchanan was dismissed.
