Ohio Circuit Courts February 15, 1905 (First Nat. Bank v. Gillen)

COOK, J.

Plaintiff in error is the owner of a bank building situated on South Park avenue running along the public square and one of the most public streets in the city of Warren. The bank had a coal vault five feet deep under the sidewalk, but it had not used it for at least ten years. The entrance to this vault from the outside was by means of an opening in the middle of the sidewalk.
