KILEY, Circuit Judge.

Halverson had verdict and judgment for $14,500.00 in this personal injury diversity action against Campbell Soup Company. In Campbell's third-party action the district court directed a verdict for Wolfes-Jensen Company, Campbell's alleged indemnitor, and entered judgment accordingly. Campbell has appealed from both judgments. We reverse the judgment in favor of Halverson and vacate the judgment in favor of Wolfes-Jensen Company.
