"In other words, in order for you to determine whether Ladon Hilliard was the employee of Hosea O. Weaver and Sons on the day of the accident or whether he was the employee of Brasfield Gorrie on the day of the accident, you must determine which employer reserved the right to control the means and agencies by which Ladon Hilliard dug the trench but not whether Brasfield Gorrie or Hosea O. Weaver and Sons actually exercised that control."”
