The defense was that the Sheltering Arms {s a purely eleemosynary institu- tion, and under the law {s not respon- sible for damages In a case like this. Justice Benton sald “The evidence establishes that Bhettering 4 + a charitable institu. tion. It is uot run for profit, has no Btock, pays no salaries, only to employ- ees for services rendered.
