BERGAN, J.

This appeal examines in search of negligence a chain of events in series. There is a thread of association between them and some logical interdependence, or so a jury might find. The appellants raise the question whether the events setting the series in motion became in the classic sense the "proximate cause" of the plaintiff's injuries which came at the end.
