M"ilo Wheeler, ApjJellee 

Cyrus iO. Lovele^, Appellant 
Appeal from Cqunty _^urt Macoupin County. 



HEARD, J. 



q,unty ^ourt 



This is a suit for a broker's commission on a sale 
or exchange of real estate. It orignated before a Jus- 
tice of the Peace and was brought on appeal to the 
County Court. The appellee recovered a verdict and a 
judgment for $96.20, and costs; and the appellant in the 
suit brings this appeal to reverse the judgment of the 
County court. 

The facts stated briefly are as follows: The appel- 
lee, Wheeler had authority from W. E. Schmidt, a bank- 
er at Gillespie, Illinois, to sell 240 acres of timber land 
at a purchase price of $17,000.00 He also had author- 
ity to sell 160 acres of prairie farm, which belonged to 
W. G. Bartels, a retired mine owner living at Carlinville. 
The appellant. Loveless wanted to buy this Rinaker 
farm, but he desired to dispose of and pay part of the 
purchase money for it with a 74 acre tract of land which 
belonged to his wife. 

Appel'ee went to the home of Mr. Bartels in Carlin- 
ville one morning and contracted for the purchase of 
Bartel's 160 acres known as the Rinaker farm for a pur- 
chase price of $30,000, and he agreed to pay this sum, 
by deeding to Bartels, W. E. Schmidt's 240 acres of tim- 
ber land at an agreed price of $17,000 and to pay $13,- 
000 in cash. He gave his own personal check for $1,000 
to bind this bargain with Bartels. He went to Gillespie 
that same morning with the appellant to Schmidt's bank 
and made known to Schmidt that he had bought the 
Bartels farm for him, and then on the same day about 
noon, appellee, acting as Schmidt's broker, as he says, 
sold the Rinaker farm to the appellant. Loveless, at and 
for a purchase price of $32,000, a part of which pur- 
chase price was the Loveless 74 acre tract at a valuation 
of $65.00 per acre. So Schmidt sold his 240 acres to 
Bartels for $17,000; Bartels

sold the 160 acre Rinaker 
farm to Loveless, the appellant, for $32,000 and Loveless 
sold the 74 acre tract to Schmidt for $4,810. It is con- 
tended by appellant that as appellee received commis- 
sions from Bartels and Schmidt that he is, for that reas- 
on, precluded from collecting a commission from appel- 
lant. 

In Bunn vs. Keach, 214 111. 259, it was said: "The 
general rule is that an agent cannot act for two parties 
whose interests are adverse. The rule that a man can- 
not serve two masters is as well established in law as in 
morals, and an agent that is employed to sell cannot be 
agent for the purchaser unless the principal sought to 
be held liable has consented." 

Bartels and Schmidt each testify that they knew 
that appellee was to receive commissions from the var- 
ious parties. Appellee testified that he told appellant 
that Bartels was paying him a commission and that ap- 
pellant replied that he did not care how many were pay- 
ing and that if he deeded the farm he would pay appel- 
lee two per cent. This conversation was denied by ap- 
pellant who testified that he did not know that appellee 
was to receive a commission from the other parties and 
that he only agreed to pay a commission in case the 74 
acres were sold for $75 an acre. 

The questions involved in this case are purely ques- 
tions of fact which it was the province of the jury to 
determine. The jury having determined these questions 
of fact and the trial judge who saw and heard the wit- 
nesses having approved the verdict undei the evidence 
m this case we would not be warranted in reversing 
their finding. 

The judgment is affirmed.

\ April Term 1921 
William Hartlipp, Appepi^e 

vs. 

George Wiemer, Appellant 

Appeal frora^Logan. 



HEARD, J. 



6 



This is a suit brought by appellee against appellant 
for damages arising out of an alleged bi'each of warran- 
ty in the sale of an Avery tractor by appellant to appel- 
lee. A jury trial resulted in a judgment in favor of ap- 
pellee against appellant for $450 damages and costs, 
from virhich judgment an appeal has been taken to this 
court. 

The warranty alleged in the declaration for the 
breach of which appellee claim.ed damages was: "That 
the said tractor was then and there well constructed ot 
good v/orkmanship and material and was free from de- 
fects of workmanship or material and was well construc- 
ted and that the said tractor would do good and satis- 
factory work and would operate and could be operated 
in a satisfactory manner and that if said tractor did not 
do good and satisfactory work he the said defendant, 
would make the said tractor do good and satisfactory 
work as a tractor." 

Appellee testified that when negotiating for the pur- 
chase of the tractor in question appellant told him that 
the tractor was guaranteed to do good work and that if 
it did not he would make it work good. 

At the request of appellee the court gave to the 
jury the following instruction: "The Court instructs the 
jury that if you believe from a preponderance of the evi- 
dence in this case that the defendant George B. Wiemer 
warranted to the plaintiff William H. Hartlipp the trac- 
tor described in evidence, as alleged in the declaration 
or any count thereof and that the said tractor at the 
time of said sale and warranty did not com.ply with the 
terms of said warranty, then you should find the issues 
for the plaintiff, Hartlipp." 

Page 1 

If the warranty was made as testified to by appel- 
lee it was not warranty as to the condition of the tract- 



f-

or at the time of the sale, but was a warranty that if the 
machine was not at that time in condition to do good 
work it was capable of being put in such condition and 
that appellant would put it in condition and make it do 
good work. 

The evidence clearly shows that at the time of the 
sale or very shortly thereafter the tractor was in good 
working order, but there is a sharp conflict in the evi- 
dence as to whether or not when complaint of such con- 
dition was made to appellant, he did not put it in good 
working condition. In this state of the pleadings and 
evidence it was clearly erroneous to instruct the jury to 
find for the plaintiff "if the warranty was made and that 
the said tractor at the time of said sale did not comply 
witht he terms of said warranty." 

The judgment of the circuit court is reversed and 
the cause remanded.

Agenda No. 55 



April Term 1951 
Adolph Oberle, Appellee 

\ 
Louis Lessman, Appellant 

Appeal from Montgomery. 



HEARD, J. 



This is an appeal from a judgment of the circuit 
court of Montgomery county against appellant for the 
sum of $291.68 and costs in favor of appellee. 

The suit was originally brought before a Justice of 
the Peace where no written pleadings were required and 
in the circuit court on appeal appellant had the right 
without formal pleadings to urge any defense which he 
might have. Lathan vs. Summers, 89 111. 233. 

The evidence shows that in the early part of 1919 
appellant and appellee entered into a partnership agree- 
ment to purchase and sell seed com, appellant testifying 
that it was the agreement to purchase two car loads of 
corn, one to be shipped to him at Raymond, 111., and the 
other to be consigned to H. J. Bender, brother-in-law of 
appellee, at Nokomis, 111., and appellee testifying that 
the agreement was to purchase only one car of corn 
which was to be shipped to appellant at Raymond. 

The evidence shows that the parties went to Jack- 
son county where two cars loads of corn were purchas- 
ed, one which was shipped to Raymond, when both par- 
ties were present, and one, the next day, by appellee, 
when appellant was not present. The latter car loaa 
was shipped to Nokomis and retailed under appellee's 
directions, he receiving the proceeds of the sale. The 
checks received from the sale of the Raymond car of 
corn were all made payable to appellant. 

Some time after the Raymond car of corn had been 
sold, the parties met at the office in Raymond and fig- 
ured up the net profits on the Raymond corn and founa 
them to be $596. Appellee demanded payment of one 
half of this amount, and, according to the testimony of 
appellee, appellant refused payment saying that he had 
a half interest in the other car of corn and he was going 
to hold this money until the other car was sold and re- 
ported. The theory of the case as tried by counsel lor

' l':':yi 



appellee was that it was a partnership matter involving 
only one car of corn; that is, the Raymond car, and that 
there 

Page 1 
had been a settlement or adjustment of the ac- 
counts as to that car of corn and that a suit to recover 
Oberle's half of the net profits would lie and also that 
Lessman had nothing whatever to do with the car of 
corn that was to be shipped to Nokomis. One of appel- 
lant's contentions was that it was a partnership matter 
extending to both cars of corn and that an adjustment 
of it could not be had in a court of law, but that it 
should be tried in a court of chancery. 

In Burns, v. Nottingham, 60 111., 531, the court said: 
"It is the settled law of this Court that one partner can- 
not bring an action in assumpsit against his late partner 
unless upon a dissolution of the co-partnership, the par- 
tners account together and a balance is stated in favor 
of one and the other agrees to make payment of such 
sum. The balance so found must be a final settlement 
of all the partnership accounts, but balances only struck 
preparatory to a final account are not sufficient to form 
the subject matter of an action at law; until this is done 
the remedy is in equity." 

In 20 M. R. C. L. pg. 924-6, it is said; "It is a gen- 
eral rule that so long as a partnership continues one 
partner cannot maintain an action at law against the 
firm or against his co-partner on account of the matter 
connected with the partnership. This disability contin- 
ues until there is a settlemnet of the accounts and a 
balance struck and persists, until these events transpire 
although there has been a dissolution of the partner- 
ship. ***** Nor will assumpsit lie in favor of one partner 
against the other on an implied promise except for a 
liquidated balance either struck by the parties or a re- 
sult of a final adjustment of the partnership concern." 

In the succeeding section of 20 R. C. L. page 925-6 
it is said: "The converse of the general rule limiting the 
right of one partner to sue his associates during the con- 
tinuance of the firm relation in reference to partnership 
matters, also holds true, and it is generally recognized 
that after a balance has been struck, based on account- 
ing between the parties, one partner may sue his co- 












fo '">i7-i;if; ■J''iJ V'' ;•<:■;.; iJs 



:, ]i-ioi-: 






partner in assumpsit for such balance." 

Upon the trial the court at the request of appellee 
gave to the jury the followino- instruction: "The court 

Page 2 
instructs the jury that if you believe from a preponder- 
ance of the evidence in this case that the plaintiff Ober- 
le and the defendant Lessman stated an account between 
themselves concerning the purchase and sale of a car of 
corn, and a balance was sho\vn to be due to plaintiff 
from the defendant as his proportionate share of the 
net profits of the sale of said corn, and that the plain- 
tiff has not been apid by the defendant, then you should 
find the issues for the plaintiff and fix his damages at 
such sum as you may find from the evidence is due to 
the plaintiff under said statement of account." This in- 
struction directed a verdict and was erroneous in entire- 
ly ignoring the material question of fact as to whether 
or not the partnership agreement covered the two loads 
of corn. 

The judgment is reversed and the cause remanded.

vsy^ 
John Barton Payne, Agent, Operating the Cleveland, Chi- 
cago and St.\ Louis Qfiihoad, Plaintiff in Error 
Error to, Cole^County Circuit Court. 

This is an action brought on the case brought again- 
st John Barton Payne, agent, operating the ClevelanS, 
Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis Railway Company by 
appellant, Floyd J. Hutson and W. H. Nicholson, appel- 
lees. A judgment for eight hundred dollars was render- 
ed by the Circuit Court of Coles County against Appel- 
lants and he prosecutes this appeal. 

The appellees claim is for damages to a truck claim- 
ed to have been sustained in a collision with a passenger 
engine of the C. C. C. & St. Louis R. R. Co. 

At the time of the collision the truck was being 
driven by Floyd J. Hutson and the collision is the one 
which furnished the basis for the claim in Hutson vs. 
Payne, decided at the October term and reported in 111. 
App. Reference to the opinion in which case is made for 
a full statement of the location, facts, circumstances and 
surroundings of the collision. 

The evidence in this case is practically the same as 
it was in that case and we held in that case that the jury 
were justified in finding that the driver of the truck was 
not guilty of contributory negligence and that the acci- 
dent was proximately caused by negligence of appellant s 
servants. 

Complaint is made of the giving and refusal of in- 
structions while two of plaintiff's instructions are some- 
what defective, we are 

Page 1 

of opinion that v/hen all of the 
instructions are considered together the jury could not 
have been misled thereby. The instruction refused was 
properly refused. 

The judgment of the Circuit Court is affirmed.

Hoveland, Sardeson, McColm Company, Appellant 

vs.

Appeal from Christian. ^ ^ 'Q JLoAe ^^ ^ 

HEARD, J. > / 

Appellant was engaged in the business of manufact- 
uring ladies' and children's coats in Chicago. Appellee 
was in the retail business at Pana, Illinois. 

In June, 1918, a salesman for appellant called upon 
appellee and secured her order for several hundred dol- 
lars worth of goods to be shipped to appellee during the 
month of July, 1918. 

A portion of the goods were made up and shipped 
to appellee about July 18, 1918. Appellee immediately 
returned some of the goods received, claiming that they 
were not according to sample and wrote appellant ask- 
ing to have her order cancelled, and stating that she 
would be in to see appellant about Aug. 1st and that she 
wanted to see what she was buying. 

Appellant immediately replied that it would credit 
her with the garments that she returned, but that the 
balance of her order was in work, and that they could 
not accept cancellation for them, and would ship them. 

Appellant held the goods until August 3rd ,at which 
time it received a letter from appellee dated August 1st, 
stating that she had cancelled her order, and that she 
could not receive any more merchandise. 

Some time in the early part of August 1918, appel- 
lant shipped the remainder of the order of goods to ap- 
pellee at Pana by American express. Appellee refused 
the goods when tendered by the express company and 
after being held by the express company at Pana for a 
considerable time they were sent by the express company 
to its salesrooms to be sold for the express charges. 

Appellant then brought suit against appellee in as- 
sumpsit upon the order for the purchase price of the 
goods. A trial resulted in a 

Page 1 

judgment in favor of ap- 
pellee for costs, from which judgment this appeal has 



!(Li.i), inqj 



■1-: ^-^I^:.:• 






>rr:iU .i^a'i'i 






been taken. 

It is claimed by appellant that the verdict was again- 
st the weight of the evidence. It is not disputed that 
the goods were to have been shipped in July, 1918, and 
that they were not shipped at the time specified in the 
order. 

When a contract specifies the time when delivery is 
to be made, time is of the essence of the contract, and 
if delivery is not made within the time specified the 
buyer is not liable upon the contract and he may refuse 
to accept the goods. 35 Cyc. 175. 

It is claimed by appellant that by reason of the let- 
ter of appellee asking to have the order cancelled and 
stating that she would be in to see appellant about Aug. 
1, appellee cannot urge as a defense to this proceedmg 
that the goods were not shipped during July. With this 
contention we can not agree. Appellee did not ask for 
a delay in shipment, but for a cancellation of the order 
and the letter should have operated as a warning to ap- 
pellant to strictly comply with the terms of the contract 
if it desired to enforce it. 

A complaint is made of the refusal of an instruct- 
ion requested by appellant. This instruction was nor 
consistent with the views herein expressed, and was 
properly refused. Some complaint is made of the giv- 
ing of instructions on behalf of appellee. We find no 
error in that regard. 

The judgment is affirmed.

April Term 1921 

Harlan Ripple, by Wesley Ripple, his next friend^ 

Appellee 

; VS. 

Wabash Railroad Company, a Corporation, Appellant 
Appeal from Vermilion 

HEARD, J. \f 

Harlan Ripple, by Wesley Ripple, his next friend, 
brought suit against the Wabash Railroad Company and 
the Danville, Urbana and Champaign Railway company. 
At the close of the plaintiff's evidence the suit was dis- 
missed as to the Danville, Urbana and Champaign Rail- 
way Company and the declaration amended so as to pro- 
ceed against the Wabash Railroad Company alone. 

The first count of the declaration charges that the 
Wabash railroad company within the limits of the vil- 
lage of Tilton had a switch track immediately adjoining 
a public alley; that the ordinance of the village of Tilton 
prohibited the obstruction of any street or alley, and that 
prior to June 8, 1920, the defendant negligently placed 
a pile of ties partly across the alley and partly upon the 
right of way of the railroad and within two or three 
feet of the east rail of the track, and constituted a nui- 
sance which attracted, or was liable to attract, children 
of tender years, and that the plaintiff was attracted to 
said pile of ties, and while playing on the same, a num- 
ber of cars upon the switch track were bumped together, 
which frig-htened him so that he slipped and fell upon 
the track so that he was run over and his left leg cut off. 

The second count is substantially the same, except 
that it charges that the railroad company, knowing the 
location of the pile of railroad ties, permitted the same 
to remain and thereafter operated cars over the tracks. 

The trial resulted in a judgment for $4,000 in favor 
of appellee against appellant, from which judgment this 
appeal has been taken. 

The evidence introduced proved, or tended to prove, 
the following facts: that the right-of-way of the Wabash 
Railroad company along 

Page 1 
this switch was twenty feet wide; 



O O ^ T • '"^ ^'

\-r- to- A Vfe 



that running north and south immediately adjoining the 
right of way upon the east was a public alley, fifteen feet 
in width, platted and laid out; that there was no fence 
between the alley and the right of way and that the or- 
dinance of the village forbids the placing of obstruct- 
ions in or upon the alley, in whole or in part. The Wab- 
ash switch is crossed at a point about six hundred feet 
north of the place of the accident by a public highway 
known as the Catlin road. The switch from a point 
about two hundred feet south of the Catlin road and ex- 
tending north was equipped with a trolley, so that elec- 
tric engines of the Danville, Urbana and Champaign 
railway could switch cars on this track. 

In the month of May, 1920, the Wabash hauled ties, 
eight feet long, six inches thick and eight or ten inches 
wide on cars and distributed them along this right of 
way to repair the track. They threw the ties off, one 
at a time, from the cars, ten to fifteen ties every thirty 
feet. No attempt was made to pile the ties, but they 
were slipped off endwise. These ties remained along 
the right of way from May until some time in the month 
of July, at which time the section men of the Wabash 
put them in the track, taking out all old bad ties ana 
putting in new ones. Not all of the old ties were taken 
out, but about ten to every rail. The grade of the track 
was ten to fourteen inches higher than the grade of the 
alley. 

Harlan Ripple lived with his father and step-motner 
in a house on L street in Tilton. L street is parallel with 
said public alley and runs north and south. The Rippie 
house faced east on L street and at the back of the lot 
upon which the Ripple house was located, ran this pub- 
lic alley. On June 8th, 1920, Harlan Ripple was injured 
on the track at a point directly back of the lot upon 
which he 

Page 2 
lived, about 75 to 100 feet from his house. At 
that time certain cars were standing on the switch, and 
the Danville, Urbana and Champaign electric motor 
backed into these cars, struck them and bumped them. 
A little later he was discovered crawling over the ties 
spread along the track, with his leg badly crushed. His 
mother then found him and carried him into the house^ 









:zcrr^ ,^•■■t 



;';-:'5T?^ ■,,;,;; T'ltjlSi ;;((' 



and his leg was amputated. 

Appellee introduced evidence tending to show that 
at the place of the accident there was a pile of ties from 
two to three feet high extending from the alley to with- 
in two feet of the track and that the top one of the ties 
extended from two to three and one half feet into the 
alley where the end rested upon the ground and this 
pile is what is claimed to have been the attractive nuis- 
ance. 

There was evidence tending to show that for three 
weeks prior to the accident small children frequently 
played upon this pile of ties but there is no evidence 
showing that any of the railroad employees knew of 
such fact. 

There was no occurrence witness except the in- 
jured boy and he testified that he was standing on the 
ties and the cars came up and bumped and scared him; 
that he fell down and cut one foot off and that is all ne 
knows about it. 

When the evidence is considered in its aspect most 
favorable to appellee the case is one of doubtful liability 
and it was therefore of the utmost importance that the 
jury should be accurately instructed. 

On behalf of appellee the court gave the following 
instruction: "The court instructs the jury that if you 
believe from the greater weight of the testimony that 
the defendant, Wabash Railroad Company, on and prior 
to the 8th day of June, 1920, was in possession of a cer- 
tain switch track running through the west part of the 
Village of Tilton, and that the right of way of said 
switch track abutted up and against a certain public al- 
ley in the Village of Tilton, and that on and prior to said 
date the said defendant had placed or maintainea 

Page 3 
near to said track and in whole or in part upon said pub- 
lic alley, a certain pile of railroad ties; and if you fur- 
ther believe from the evidence that said pile of railroad 
ties was so placed in violation of an ordinance of the 
Village of Tilton, Illinois, and was so situated and con- 
structed so as to attract, or become liable to attract, to 
be and play about the same, children of tender years and 
if you further believe from the testimony that the said 
defendant, knowing such facts, operated or permitted 



} -Ui'bri 



ri ■■■■; /it.f •?;■' ^■'■■- 1" »• 



.'; V vi. 



to be operated, cars over and along said track while said 
obstruction there remained; and if you further believe 
from the testimony that the plaintiff was a child of ten- 
der years and was attracted to said pile of ties by the 
allurements thereof, and, while playing upon the same, 
was frightened or startled by the movement of cars up- 
on said track so that he fell from said pile of ties upon 
the rails of said track and was run over and injured; and 
if you further believe from the testimony that the plain- 
tiff was in the exercise of due care and caution for his 
own safety at the time when he was injured; that then 
and in such state of the proof, if such state of the proof 
exists herein, the plaintiff has made out his case so as to 
require said defendant to show that the said plaintiff 
suffered such injuries without any fault on its part. 

The giving of this instruction is assigned as error. 
By the giving of this instruction the jury were in effect 
told that there was evidence in the record from which 
they might find that the pile of ties were placed where 
they were in violation of an ordinance of the Village of 
Tilton. The ordinance in question is as follows: "No 
person or persons or corporatons, shall erect, construct 
or place, or cause to be constructed or placed, any build- 
ing, fence or other obstruction, in whole or in part, up- 
on any street, alley, sidewa'k or other public ground 
within the village, under a penalty of not less than one 
dollar not more than two hundred dollars." There was 
no evidence that the pile of ties, if there was such pile, 
was placed where it was in violation of the ordinance. 
There is a very serious conflict in the evidence 
Page 4 

as to whether 
there was in fact a pile of ties at the place in question, 
but if there was such pile, it was on the railroad com- 
pany's right of way and there was a tie with one end on 
the ground from two to three and a half feet out in the 
alley and the other end resting on the pile of ties. Even 
if this constituted a violation of the ordinance there 
was no evdence whatever that such violation had any- 
thing whatever to do with bringing about the accident. 
It was in no way shown by the evidence to have been a 
proximate cause of the accident. It is not every viola- 
tion of an ordinance which will render the violator liable 



:;-.f^ ■/;'. 



•.. -■! 






r ■;j;:C::;i:-;o yni 



for injury. It is only where the person injured is in the 
exercise of ordinary care for his own safety and the 
violation of the ordinance is the proximate cause of the 
injury. The reference to the ordinance in the instruct- 
ion in question had a tendency to mislead the jury. 

This instruction is erroneous in other respects. In 
order to charge a person engaged in the business of 
handling a dangerous agency with liability it is necessary 
that the injury which results from such dangerous 
agency be one which a person of ordinary prudence, in 
the light of the surrounding circumstances would reason- 
ably and naturally have anticipated. Austin v. Public 
Service Company, 299 111. 112. It certainly cannot be 
held as a matter of law that the servants of the railroad 
company should have anticipated that a boy standing on 
the ties would be scared so that he would fall in such a 
way that his foot would be crushed under the wheel of 
a passing car. 

While this instruction does not direct a verdict i*. 
purports to tell what is necessary to make out plaintiff's 
case. Negligence to be the basis of liability must be tne 
proximate cause of the accident. This and other of ap- 
pellee's given instruction entirely ignored this rule. The 
instruction is also erroneous in telling the jury if a cer- 
tain state of proof exists that the plaintiff has made out 
his case so as to require said defendant to show that the 
said plaintiff suffered said injuries with- 
Page 5 

out any fault on 
his part. In this case even if the evidence showed the 
facts stated in the instruction the burden of proving de- 
fendant guilty rested upon the plaintiff and defendant 
was not required to prove itself not guilty. 

An instruction which tells the jury what is necessary 
to prove plaintiff's case must include all the facts neces- 
sary to make out such case. This instruction after in 
effect telling the jury that if they find the plaintiff was 
attracted by an attractive nuisance and while playing up- 
on the same "was frightened or startled by the move- 
ment of the cars upon said track so that he fell from 
said pile of ties upon the rails of said track and was run 
over and injured, etc." There was nothing inherently 
dangerous in this pile of tios which could cause the boy 



•i-i-\\/\[ jrij 






-1 --^r h t;;: ,, a.oi >-\\ y:. 






v;.iT>Hf.-i -cyKfl^ 



to fall underneath the wheel of the car. There are no 
facts stated in the instruction or in the evidence as to 
the manner of his fall, the connection of the pile of ties 
therewith, or how he got from the ties up the grade and 
beneath the wheels in any way that the court could say 
as a matter of law that the plaintiff had made out his 
case. 

The giving of these instructions was reversible er- 
ror. The judgment is reversed and the cause remanded.

->PeWitt W. Smith, Defendant in Error 

\ ^^. ; 

Allemania Fire Insurance Company, et al., 

Plainitffs in Error 

Error to Circuit Court of Sangamon County. 

Hon. Norman L. Jones, Trial Judge 

HEARD, J. 2 261 

Defendant in Error, DeWitt C. Smith, filed a bill in 
chancery in the Circuit Court of Sangamon County, to 
recover upon twenty-two fire insurance policies, aggre- 
gating $86,000, issued to him by the seventeen defen- 
dants. The Court entered a decree awarding him $78,- 
409.26, and apportioning that amount among the sev- 
eral defendants. An appeal was prosecuted to this 
court by each of the seventeen defendants severally, 
which appeals resulted in a reversal of the decree, the 
cause being remanded to the Circuit Court with dir- 
ections to proceed in accordance with the views express- 
ed in the opinion which is reported in Smith vs. A. F. 
Ins. Co., 219 111. App. 506, to which opinion reference is 
made for a statement of the facts. 

A rehearing in the Circuit Court resulted in a de- 
cree in favor of Defendant in Error against the seven- 
teen defendants for the sum of $74,971.87, which amount 
is by the decree apportioned among the several defen- 
dants. Plaintiffs in Error have sued out writs of Errors 
for the purpose of having the decree reviewed by this 
Court. 

The first contention of Palintiffs in Error is that a 
court of equity is without jurisdicton in this case. This 
identical question was raised in Smith vs. A. F. Ins. Co. 
supra, and, while the personal of the Court has changed 
since the decision in that case, the opinion in that case 
is binding upon us now, and we must therefore hold m 
accordance with the opinion then expressed that the 
Chancellor did not err in assuming jurisdic- 
Page 1 

tion of this cause. 

It is next contended that the Chancellor did not 






Q%^ 



j(...^ ■■•rn^'':'T 



r .-^ t . / '^ : : 






adoupt the correct measure of damages. This court on 
the former hearing held that the term "actual cash val- 
ue" contained in each of the policies meant "reproduct- 
ion value less depreciation for age, and not market val- 
ue," and that holding is now binding upon us. 

Much evidence was introduced bearing upon the 
question of the loss sustained by defendant in error by 
reason of the partial destruction by fire of the building 
covered by the policies in question. Without detailing 
this evidence in this opinon, suffice it to say that the 
chancellor evidently attempted to proceed in accordance 
with the views expressed in our former opinion, and his 
finding as to the amount falls within the range of the 
evidence. 

The decree of the circuit court is therefore affirm- 
ed.

Appeal from the Oountw" Court of Vermilion County. . .^^ 



HEARD, J. • ' 

This is an appeal from the judgment of the County 

1 
Court of Vermilion County in favor of appellee agamst 

appellant for $110.00 and costs. 

Appellee's claim is for professional services render- 
ed by him as a physician and surgeon to Appellant's son .^^ 
who was 29 years of age. Appellee performed an oper- 
ation for appendicitis upon the appellant's son. Appel- "*-■ 
lee testified that after the first operation appellant told 
appellee that he would pay appellee for further services 
rendered to the son, and that the services for which claim 
is made were rendered after such promise and in pur- 
suance thereof. Appellant denies the making of such 
promise. This raised a question of fact for the jui-y and 
they evidently found in favor of appellee. 

Appellant contends that even if such promise was 
made, it was a special promise to answer for the debt 
of another, and therefore, void by reason of the Statute 
of Frauds. If appellee's testimony is to be believed, 
then the promise was not a promise to answer for the 
debt of another but was an original undertaking on the 
part of the appellant to pay for future services, wheth- 
er or not this promise was made was purely a question 
of fact for the jury, and we would not be justified in dis- 
turbing their finding. 

Complaint is made of the admission in evidence oi 
statements of appellant's son to appellee made out of 
the presence of appellant while the son was being exam- 
ined by appellee prior to the first operation. While 
some of these statements 

Page 1 

were probably incompetent, 
the vital question in the case was whether or not the 
promise was made as claimed and these statements 
could have had no bearing upon that question, and their 
admission was not prejudicial error.

HEARD, J. I / 

if 

This is an appeal from a judgment of the circuit 
court of Sangamon County in an action, heard upon ap- 
peal, brought in the name of the People of the State o^ 
Illinois, for the use of Joseph Overby a colored person, 
under what is known at the Civil Rights Statute of the 
state which provides: 

"That all persons within the jurisdiction of said 
State of Illinois shall be entitled to the full and equal 
enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities 
and privileges of inns, restaurants, eating houses, hotels, 
soda fountains, saloons, barber shops, bath rooms, thea- 
ters, skating rinks, concerts, cafes, bicycles (bicycle) 
rinks, elevators, ice cream parlors or rooms, railroads, 
omnibuses, stages, street cars, boats funeral hearses and 
public conveyances on land and water, and all other pla- 
ces of public accommodation and amusement, subject 
only to the conditions and limitations established by law 
and applicable alike to all citizens. 

2. That any person who shall violate any of the pro- 
visions of the foregoing section by denying to any citizen, 
except for reasons a.pplicable alike to a,ll citizens of every 
race and color, and regardless of color or race, the full 
enjoyment of any of 

Pan-e 1 
the accommodations, advantages, 
facilities or privileges in said section enumerated, or by 
aiding or inciting such denial, shall for every such offense 
forfeit and pay a sum of not less than twenty-five (25) 
dollars nor more than five hundred (500) dollars ^o the 
persc'n aggrieved thereby, to be recovered in any court 
of competent jurisdiction, in the county where said of- 
fense was commJtted; and shall also, for every such of?- 
ense be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and upon con- 
viction thereof, shall be fined not to exceed five hundred

A. o26 



l^jk 






(500) dollars, or shall be imprisoned not more than one 
year, or both; and punishment upon an indictment, shall 
be a bar to either prosecution respectively." 

Motions to dismiss the appeal and to affirm pro 
j'orma for v/ant of a sufficient abstract were taken with 
the case and are denied. 

The appellee operates wliat is known as a "Five and 
Ten Cent Store" in Springfield. Among its departments 
is a lunch counter at which food and drink are served. 
The counter was in the form of a hollow rectangle, 30 
to 35 feet long, with a marble top 18 or 20 inches wide, 
in the center of which rectangle were steam tables from 
which the food was served and the working space for 
the waitresses. High stools with a seat about 10 incnes 
in diameter and v.ithout arms or back were located quite 
close together all around the outside of the counter. 
About four feet from the counter and parrallel thereto 
and with no partition or division from the stools, was a 
row of 19 chairs, v/ith backs and wide shelf arms on the 
right side, on which dishes could be placed, such as are 
found in many cafeterias. The food was all served from 
inside the counter by waitresses, and whether it was to 
be eaten while seated on a stool or in a chair it was of 
the same quality and price and served by the same wait- 
resses. On the v.'all, just over the row of chairs, was a 
conspicious placard on which was printed: "The manage- 
ment reserves the right to seat their patrons." 

The chairs in question were not reserved for color- 
ed 

Page 2 
people but were used indiscriminately by colored and 
white persons. 

About the first of July, 1920, Overby, accompanied 
by another young colored man, entered appellee's place 
of business and seated themselves upon stools at the 
same counter and called for food and dinnk. They were 
informed by the parties in charge of the lunch counter 
that they could not be sei'ved at the counter but that if 
they would seat themselves in chairs they would be ser- 
ved. Overby and his companion declined to occupy the 
chairs and left the place without being served, and Ov- 
erby instituted this proceeding as the result of the oc- 
curence. 

There is a sharp conflict in the testimony as to what 



v/as said by the parties at the time of the occurrence, 
Overby testifying that the paities in charge of the luncii 
counter told him "We do not serve colored people at this 
counter. If you want to be served, get over there 
against the wal'," and that the Manager of the place 
said, "I don't serve colored people at this counter; there 
ib a lady you might be objectionable to her. If you 
want to be served you get over against the wall." The 
making of these statements is denied by appellant's wit- 
nesses, who state that Oevrby's attention was called to 
the sign upon the wall and that nothing was said about 
their colored people. 

While an eating house or restaurant is sufficiently 
public in its nature to be subject to legislative and muni- 
cipal regulations, yet it is a private enterprise, the pn- 
vate property of the proprietor and in the very nature of 
things the proprietor must exercise control over the place 
and the patrons. It follows as a necessary incident of 
such control that one operating such eating house or res- 
taurant may make all reasonable rules as to the method 
of serving patrons and conduct of the business as long 
as they do not conflict with any legislative or municipal 
enactment. Overby's right in appellee's lunch counter 
vv^as no greater or no less than those of a white man. His 
color gave him no greater rights there than a white man 
v/ould have under 

Page 3 
the same circumstances. It would not 
be seriously contended that a white man had an absolute 
right to be seated and served at a particular seat in a 
restaurant, or to be served by any particular waiter, or 
to have any particular kind of chairs or dishes. A white 
man would not have a right to insist over the proprietor's 
protest, upon sitting down at a table where for any reas- 
on, the proprietor might think him uncongenial to the 
other guests or when his presence might interfere with 
the enjoyment of the other guests. A white miner or a 
mechanic in his soiled working clothes, while having a 
right to service, would have no right to insist upon seat- 
ing himself over the proprietor's protest in just a position 
to ladies dressed in delicate fabrics which might be eas- 
ily soiled nor would a white lady no matter how reason- 
able or well dressed have a right to insist upon bemg 



seated at a table with a party of business men who were 
discussing their business affairs. In the very nature of 
things, discretion in seating their patrons must be vested 
in the management of such concerns, and the posting or 
the placard "the amnagment reserves the right to seat 
their patrons" gives appellee no greater right than he 
already had under the law. It only called the attention 
of the proprietor's patrons that the management intend- 
ed to avail themselves of that right. It was a rule which 
apphes to all alike whether white or colored. 

Having a right to seat appellees white patrons it nec- 
essarily follows that appellee had a right to seat its col- 
ored patrons as long as it did not isolate them from tne 
whites but furnished them seats used indiscriminately Dy 
whites and colored people. 

The vital question in this case was a question of 
fact and it was put directly up to the Jury by proper in- 
structions, and we would not be justified in disturbing 
their finding which has received the sanction of the Cir- 
cuit court. 

The judgment is affirmed.

Error to the Circu|t C(^rt of Vermilion County 



HEARD, J. 



i^' 



The cause of action in this case arose out of the 
fact that Defendant in Error, which is hereinafter re- 
ferred to as defendant, entered upon the premises of 
the plaintiff in error, who is hereinafter called the plain- 
tiff, who had a farm adjoining defendant's premises, 
mined and took away a quantity of coal therefrom with- 
out the consent of the plaintiff. A jury trial resulted in 
a verdict and judgment for plaintiff against defendant 
for $270 damages, and the only question which plaintiff 
seeks to have reviewed is the size of the award. 

In McGuire vs. Boyd Coal and Coke Co. 236 111. 69, 
the rule is laid down that the measures of damages for 
coal wrongfully mined beyond the limits of the mine is 
the value of the coal at the mouth of the pit, less the 
costs of loading and handling the coal from the place 
where it was mined to the foot of the shaft and for 
hoisitng and dumping it into the car at the top. 

It was stipulated by the parties upon the trial that 
8,386 cubic feet of the vein of coal had been mined and 
removed by the defendant. 

Plaintiff introduced evidence tending to show that 
8,386 cubic feet of the vein would produce 353 tons of 
coal, while defendant introduced evidence tending to 
show that the amount of coal was 346.2 tons. Plaintiff 
introduces evidence tending to show that the value of 
the coal at the mouth of the pit was $1.75 per ton, while 
defendant introduced evidence tending to 
Page 1 

show that such val- 
ue was only 95c per ton. Defendant introduced evidence 
tending to show that the cost of loading the coal into 
the pit car was from 34.5c to 35.5c per ton, and hauling 
it from the place where it was mined to the foot of the 
shaft and dumping it into the car at the top was from 






21c to 25c. 

Plaintiff introduced no evidence as to the cost of 
these operations. According to the figures above quot- 
ed, under the rule laid down in McGuire vs. Boyd Coal 
and Coke Co., supra, the minimum amount of damages 
shown by the evidence was $124.32, and the maximum 
amount was $413.60. 

The verdict of the jury being within the range of 
these figures we would not be justified under the evi- 
dence in this case in disturbing their findings. 

The judgment is affirmed.

Appeal f ro;n ^ircuiW^ourt of Macoupin County. 

\ / 
HEARD, J. -;/ 

This is a suit brought by appellant against appellee 
for services alleged to have been rendered by appellee for 
appellant. 

A trial wais had and upon the appellant closing his 
testimony in chief, the appellee entered a motion to ex- 
clude all of the evidence offered on the part of the ap- 
pella.nt and for judgment in favor of the appellee. Said 
motion was allowed by the court, and thereupon judg- 
ment v/as entered by the court in favor of the appellee, 
frcrn which judgment this appeal is being prosecuted. 
During all of the time the appellant was engaged in the 
performance of the services for v/hich he has brougnt 
suit he served at various times as president, secretary- 
treasurer, director and manager of said company, and a 
part of the tim.e held more than ore of spid offices at the 
sam.e time. 

There vras no evidence that the directors of the cor- 
poration ever fixed any compensation or salary for ap- 
pellant prior to the rendition of the services and it is con- 
tended that therefore appellant is not entitled to recover 
in this case. 

In Chicago Marconi Co. vs. Boggiania, 202 111. 312, it 
is said: 

"V/hile the principle is well established, that in orcier 
to entitle an officer of a private corporation to receive 
com.pensation for the performance of the duties of his of- 
fice, it is necessary such compensation should have been 
authorized by the board of directors or by the by-laws of 
the company, it is also the rule that for the performance 
of duties or service outside and 
Page 1 

apart from those impos- 
ed on him by virtue of his office, suxh officer may, if such 
extraordinary services were rendered at the request, or 
with the acquiescence, of the corporation, recover upon 



u? 



di S 



a quantum meruit." 

In Rose Hill Cemetery Co. vs. Dem.ster, 233 111. 567 
tiie Court says: 

"The old doctrine of the common law that an agent 
of a private corporation could only be appointed under 
the common seal of the corporation, if it ever was recog- 
nized by the courts of this country, has long since given 
V'/ay to the modern rule which is now iirmly established, 
that an agent of a corporation can be appointed by parol 
for any proper corporate purpose, and the acts of agents 
thus appointed within the general scope of their author- 
ity are binding upon the corporation, and all services ren- 
dered or benefits conferred at the request of its agent 
raise an implied promise, to enforce which an action is 
maintainable against the corporation. 

"In justice and reason no substantial ground exists 
why a corporation may not make contracts and assume 
liabilities in any manner that a natural person might em- 
ploy, except in such matters as the charter of the lav/s of 
the state prescribe a particular method of procedure. It 
is a v/ell-established doctrine of the law of agency that a 
subsequent ratification of the act of one who assumed to 
be an agent supplies the want of previous authority. A 
corporation may ratify the act of one who assumed to 
act for it and thus remove the want of authority in the 
first instance, provided the act is one which could have 
been legally authorized." 

Appellant in his testimony stated that the services 
for v/hich he was claiming compensation were not per- 
formed by reason of the fact that he was an officer of 
the corporation and tliat the services performed were no 
part of his duties as such officer. 

When a motion is made to direct a verdict upon tne 
trial of an issue, the party against whom the motion is 
directed is entitled to the benefit of all the evidence in 
its favor, in its aspect most favorable to hirn, together 
with all reasonable 

Page 2 
inference and presumptions which may 
be reasonably dra'am from such evidence. The evidence 
is not v/eighed and a'l contradictory evidence or explana- 
tory circumstances must be rejected. Yes vs. Yes, 2.55 111.

Co. 220 111. App. 554. 

Applying this rule to the evidence in this case, we 
are of the opinion that the court erred in directing a 
verdict in favor of appellee. 

The judgment is reversed and the cause remanded.

Swift & Company, a corporation, Plaintiff in Error 

vs. 

Normal State Bank, Defendant in Error 

Error to McLean County Circuit Court 

HEARD, J. 

Plaintiff in Error brought suit in trover against De- 
fendant in Error for the conversion of a check for $90.52 
Defendant in Error plead not guilty. A jury was waived 
and trial before the court resulted in a judgment for 
plaintiff in error against defendant in error for one cent 
damages and costs, to review, which judgment plaintiff 
in error has sued out a writ of error from this court. 

In the year 1919, W. L. Hogle was a salesman and 
collector for plaintiff in error. He took orders for meat 
and collected payments from its customers. The pay- 
iTsents were made to him by the customer's checks and 
in cash. At frequent inteiwals Hogle made itemized re- 
ports of orders and collections accompanied by a remit- 
tance of the payments. In order that he might maKe 
the remittances he was authorized to endorse customer's 
checks with a rubber stamp reading: "Pay to order of 
for exchange payable to Swift & Com- 
pany, by ." After the check was stamp- 
ed with this endorsement he was authorized to fill the 
name of the payee bank in the first blank and to write 
his name in the last blank. With the stamp and author- 
ity he could purchase exchange at any bank and endorse 
the local checks to the bank as consideration for the ex- 
change. Hogle had no authority to use the checks in any 
other way or to use any other form of endorsement. He 
could not use the local checks or the purchased exchange 
for his personal use except by forgery. By this means 
the local banks handled the local checks and Swift & 
Company received one draft instead of 
Page 1 

many checks. 

Hogle without authority endorsed the check in ques- 
tion in lead pencil: "Swift & Company, by W. L. Hogle." 
The defendant bank received the check so endorsed, col- 
lected it from the McLean County Bank at Bloomington, 



the drawee bank and received the proceeds for its own 
account, and thereby became technically guilty of con- 
version. 

The defendant in error interposed only the defense 
of mitigation of damages. Confessing the conversion, 
defendant in error has undertaken to mitigate the con- 
ceded damage by an attempt to prove that the check was 
actually used as part payment for a draft which the de- 
fendant in error issued to Hogle for Swift & Company on 
August ISth. Swift & Company received and cashed the 
draft. The question in the case is, whether this parti- 
cular check was actually used in part payment for tne 
draft. 

This question was purely a question of fact to be de- 
termined by the court from the evidence in the case. We 
are of the opinion that there is sufficient evidence in the 
case to support the court's finding that the proceeds of 
the $90.52 check were used by Hogle as part payment for 
a draft for $385.02 which he purchased and sent to plain- 
tifl" in error and which draft was received and collected 
by plaintiff in error. The court having found that plam- 
tiff in error received the proceeds of the $90.52 cheeky 
it follows that plantiff in error was only entitled to re- 
cover nominal damages. 

Barrelett vs. Bellgard, 71 111. 280. 

The judgment is affirmed.

Appeal from the Ci'fe^uit Coi^ of Sangamon County. 
HEARD, J. \ / 

Appellee brought suit against appellant in the cir- 
cuit court of Sangamon County and filed a declaration in 
assumpsit consisting of one count, seeking to recover for 
labor and services performed in and about the household 
of appellant. Upon motion of appellant, a bill of parti- 
culars was filed claiming v/ages for work, labor and dom- 
esitc services performed by appellee in and about the 
household of appellant from the 24th day of February 
1916, to the 24th day of October, 1920, being about five 
years immediately preceding the filing of this suit; at 
the rate of ten dollars per week. Appellant filed the 
plea of general issue. Trial was had upon the merits and 
a verdict was returned in favor of appellee for the sum 
of $1,699.00 and judgment was entered upon this verdict 
from which judgment this appeal was taken. 

About twenty-three years before the beginning of 
this suit appellee, who is now about 47 years of age, be- 
gan working for appellant in his household in the city of 
Chicago. Shortly after she began this service the fam- 
ily removed to Elkhart, Ilhnois, and she came with them 
and continued to work for Appellant in his household at 
Elkhart for the next nine years. About the end of that 
period of time appellant and his family removed to 
Springfield, Illinois. Appellee came with them also ana 
continued to work in his household until she was dis- 
charged some time in 1920. 

Page 1 
Both parties agree that the services were perform- 
ed and that they were not gratuitously performed. 

Appellant was a grocer in the City of Springfield. 
The members of his household consisted of his wife, who 
died August 15, 1916, his brother William, two sons, Phil- 
ip and Julius, all grown men, and one daughter, Natalie, 
aged about eighteen. 

Appellee claims that she was never paid anything 



for the services rendered. 

Appellant testified that he started out prior to Feb- 
ruary 24, 1918, by paying appellee four dollars per week 
and that during the five years in question he paid her 
five dollars each and every week, sometimes by check and 
very frequently in currency; and that when this suit was 
instituted by appellee he did not owe her one cent. 

Appellant was corroborated as to the making of 
payments by his two sons Juilius and Philip and by Chas. 
Anderson a truck driver at appellant's store and also by 
about 40 checks drawn by appellant payable to appellee 
which seem.ed to indicate a weekly payment from appel- 
lant to appellee. In explanation of these checks appel- 
lee contends that there was an agreement between her- 
self and appellant, that appellant should each week, leave 
a small sum of money at his home to pay minor house- 
hold expenses, such as laundry bills, insurance bills-, and 
newspaper bills, and in pursuance to this agreement ap- 
pellant gave money and checks ranging in amounts from 
$4.00 to $10.00 each week, either to appellee or to nis 
daughter Natalie for that purpose but that none of these 
checks were for wages a,nd that she retained none of the 
money or proceeds of the checks for her own use. 

Appellee testified that while upon two ocassions dur- 
ing the twenty-three years appellant promised to pay her 
wages no specific amount was ever mentioned or agreed 
upon. At one time in her testimony appellee testified 
that in June, 1917 she was working for appellant under 
an agreement whereby he was to 
Page 2 

pay her four dollars per 
week and board and lodging, but that he never did it but 
later claimed that she had not so testified. In this state 
of the record it was proper for appellee to introduce tes- 
tim.ony as to the usual, reasonable and customary price 
paid for like services in that community, at that time, 
and appellee did introduce such testimony. 

The court refused to give an instruction requested by 
appellant and such refusal is assigned for error. The re- 
quested instruction is as follows: 

"The court instructs the jury that if you believe 
from the evidence in this case that at the beginning of 
the time in question the defendant had the plaintiff in his 



employment upon the agreement and the understanding 
between the parties hereto that the plaintiff was to re- 
ceive in full compensation for her services the sum of 
four dollars per week, and that subsequently, by agree- 
ment and understanding between the parties, the plain- 
tiff was to render the services in question for the sum of 
five dollars per week, and that in pursuance of such 
agreement and understanding the said defendant did pay 
the said plaintiffs for such services in accordance with 
their said agreements and understanding then in such 
case it is your duty to find for the defendant." 

The evidence was very conflicting and appellant had 
the right to have the jury fully instructed as to the law 
of the case, especially in view of the fact that appellee's 
witnesses had fixed eight dollars per week as the sum 
which appellee's service were recently worth. The re- 
fusal to give this instruction was error. The judgment 
is reversed and the cause remanded.

NIEHAUS. J. \ / 

%-- \/ 

This suit was brouk'ht by the appellant, Meridian 
^ Amusement Company of Illinois, in the circuit court of 

Vermilion county, for alleged pecuniary loss, which it 
claims to have suffered on account of the violation by 
the apepllee. "The Home Theatre Company," of a res- 
trictive agreement, by the terms of which, the appellee 
*^3&s* 'v^^ prohibited from operating a picture show at its 

theatre in Danville, which is known as the "Palace Thea- 
tre;" and is located nearby the Picture show theatre con- 
»^ ducted by the appellant, which is known as the Fisher 

Theatre. 

It is contended by the appellant, that the violations 
of the restrictive agreement referred to, commenced 
about May 1, 1918, and continued, with the exception of 
short intervals, until March 13, 1920, when the appellee 
was finally enjoined from the further production of pic- 
ture shows at the theatre mentioned. There was a trial 
by jury, which resulted in a verdict and judgment for the 
appellant; the amount of the verdict and judgment being 
S250.00. The appellant claims, that the amount of dam- 
ages assessed by the jury are inadequate, and prosecutes 
this appeal from the judgment. 

The right claimed by the appellant for the recovery 
of damages is predicated upon the loss of profits by rea- 
son of the 




1 

wrongful competition in carrying on the 
same kind of theatrical attraction by the appellee at its 
theatre, located close to the theatre of the appellant, 
where similar performances were being carried on; and 
thereby decreasing the attendance upon its theatre, 
which necessarily resulted in a loss of profit in carrying- 
on its business. On the question of the damage which it 
sustained, the appellant offered evidence of the pecun-

iary recepits derived from attendance of tlie patrons of 
its moving picture shows, and the net profits reaHzed 
therefrom, from March 11, 1917 to October 13, 1917; and 
from March 17, 1918 to October 12, 1918. and from March 
17, 1919 to October 11, 1919; and also up to March 13. 
1920, that being the date when the final decree for the 
injunction took effect, which prohibited the appellee 
from further picture show performances. The appel- 
lant offered to prove the attendance receipts and profits 
of its theatre after the injunction took effect and the ap- 
pelee had ceased its picture show attractions, from April 
5, 1920 to October 16, 1920. An objection was sustained 
to this evidence; and the evidence was not admitted. We 
are of opinion, that the appellant had the right to have 
this evidence considered by the jury on the question of 
the damages sustained by appellant. The evidence had 
a tendency to show what efl'ect the stopping of appellee's 
picture shows, had on the attendance on Appellant's pic 
ture shows. In Southerland on Damages, it is said, that 
juries should be allowed to act in cases of this kind up- 
on probable and inferential, as well as direct and positive 
proof. "And when from the nature of the case the 
amount of damages cannot be estimated with certainty, 
or only a part of them can be so estimated, no objection 
is perceived to placing before the jury all the facts and 
circumstances of the case, having any tendency to show 
damages, or their probable amount so as to enable them 
to make the most in- 

Page 2 

telligible and probable estimate 
v/hich the nature of the case will permit." Southerlan--] 
on Damages Vol. 1, p. 121. 'When profits are the object 
and inducement of a contract and known to both con- 
tracting parties so to be, such profits may be proven as 
a measure of damages for a breach of contract if suscep- 
tible of being proven with reasonable certainty.' C. C. 
& St. L. Ry. Co. v. Wood 189 111. 352. Evidence showing 
an increased attendance and hence increased profits der- 
ived therefrom, after appellee's wrongful competition 
was removed, would necessarily have a tendency to show 
the injurious effect of such wrongful competition, and 
the damage resulting therefrom. We are of opinion 
therefore that this evidence was competent and should

have been submitted to the jury. St. John v. Mayer 13 
How. Pr. 527; Hitchcock v. Anthony 38 Fed. 779; Hoogen- 
dorn V. Daniel 202 Fed. 431. The appellant called I. C. 
Davidson as a witness, and he testified that he was in 
the theatrical business in Danville, and had operated a 
theatre there since May 1, 1917. He was asked this 
question: "You may state if you know whether the in- 
crease in attendance on theatres in Danville — the gener- 
al volume of attendance — increased of decreased for the 
year from May 1st 1918 to May 1st, 1919?" The Court 
sustained an objection to the question, and this ruling is 
assigned as error. We are of opinion that the objection 
was properly sustained. The foundation for asking 
such a question was insufficient; inasmuch as it did not 
appear, that the witness had the knowledge which the 
question called for, namely, of the general volume of at- 
tendance upon all the theatres in Danville, even though 
the increase or decrease of the general volume of atten- 
dance upon theatres in Danville, might have had a bear- 
ing on the particular matter in issue, which was whether 
or not the attendance on appellant's theatre was decreas- 
ed on account of the wrongful competition set up by the 
appellee. 

Page 3 

The giving of appellee's instructions numbered 1 and 
3 is also challenged as error. These instructions in ef- 
fect told the jury that the plaintiff's profits, if any, pre- 
vious to the time when the appellee commenced the op- 
eration of its competitive picture shows, were the only 
tests from which they could determine the question, of 
whether the appellant was damaged. We are of opin- 
ion, that these instructions v/hile in harmony with me 
rulings of the court in excluding the evidence heretofore 
referred to, fix too narrow a limit concerning matters 
which the jury have a right to consider in determining 
the loss of profit; and are in conflict with the principles 
emphasized in the authorities cited. 

For the reasons stated the judgment is reversed, and 
the cause remanded.

\ vs. 

Charles "H. Woodruffl Appellee 
Appeal from/rike. 

\ NIEHAUS. J. 

-^ 

^ . In this case the appellee Charles H. Woodruff leased 

^ from the appellants Harry L. Nichols and Effie N. Park- 

'r\^^^^ er as conservators of E. F. Nichols, two tracts of land 

^ situated in Pike county, in the locality known as "Black- 

wood Bend" in the Sny Island Levee District; both 
tracts were located in the bend of the Sny E'Carte 
stream, which runs through the bottom land composing 
^ the district. The tracts are also adjacent to the waters 

^- of Kiser Creek, which had been diverted into an artifical 

^ channel, and a settling basin constructed near these 

lands; and at the time of the leasing, a protective levee 
was in process of construction between the settling bas- 
in and the tracts in question, but had not been complet- 
ed. The leasing in question, was by oral contract, in the 
fall of 1919. In the month of April following, a new ar- 
rangement was made between the parties, by which one 
of the 25 acre tracts, was eliminated from the contract 
by substituting therefor other land, concerning which 
there is no controversy. On the remaining 25 acre tract, 
was a growth of alsike clover. By the agreement of the 
parties this clover tract was to be utilized for raising 
corn in the season of 1920. In the beginning of May, 
1920, the appellee made an effort to plow the tract in 
question for that purpose; first with a tractor, and af- 
terwards with plows drawTi 

Page 1 

by horses; and he had suc- 
ceeded in plowing between six and seven acres, when 
a heavy rain fall set in, which resulted in a rise of the 
waters of Kiser Creek in the settling basin; and the en- 
tire tract upon which the appellee had been working be- 
came inundated. Appellee testified, that after the rain, 
'the entire tract was flooded; and that water was run- 
ning all over everything; and that they had to hurry to

get the horses out; that the water was about knee deep 
in the barn; that the barn was on the highest ground.' 
The appellee thereupon abondoned his efforts to farm 
the land; and went to the house of appellant Nichols to 
inform him as he said, that he "was done on Blackwood's 
Bend;" not finding the appellant at home, and left word 
to that effect with his hired man Kinder; and Kinder de- 
livered the message to appellant Nichols. Afterwards 
the appellant assuming, that the appellee had no legal 
right to abandon his efforts to cultivate this land, and to 
raise a crop of corn thereon, employed attorneys to com- 
mence suit to recover damages from appellee; and on 
June 25th the attorneys employed, sent a letter to the 
appellee informing him, that they had been employed 
for the purpose mentioned, and advising him to see the 
appellant Nichols at once, and arrange the matter in or- 
der to avoid suit; which the appellee did, in the latter 
part of June. When the parties got together at that 
time, an adjustment was agreed upon of appellant'<3 
claim. There is a sharp conflict in the evidence as to the 
exact terms of the adjustment agreed upon. The appel- 
lant Nichols, testified on the trial concerning this mat- 
ter as follows: "He asked me, what I wanted to do; and 
I told him, that the clover seed was good; and I was un- 
able to attend to it myself, and if he would do that, I 
wouldn't have any claim for damage on the part of the 
ground that was in clover; and he said, he would cut 

Page 2 
the clover, and save the seed, and give me half the seed 
threshed." And that on appellant's own suggestion it 
was also agreed, that the appellee would get an early 
variety of corn, and plant the six or eight acres that he 
had plowed. 

The apepllee's testimony concerning the transaction 
was as follows: "I asked him about the business, and he 
told me if I would plant what I had plowed,' and try to 
save that clover, that was all right, good enough, he 
would withdraw his suit. I told him I would do the best 
I could, and he said, that is all anybody can do." 

As to which of the parties gave the correct version 
of the agreement reached was a question of fact for the 
jury. The evidence shows, that the appellee after the 
last agreement was made, planted corn on the six or 









•;". :l')iif C'.f:

eight acres, which he had plowed; and that he also maae 
efforts to harvest the clover; he first made an arrange- 
ment with Lee Main to cut the clover. Main testified, 
'that he toM the appellee, that he would try to cut the 
clover; that he looked at the land; found some weeds 
and some clover, and some sticks and stumps; and, that 
that was about all he saw; but he did not cut the clover; 
he did not think it could be cut.' That Woodruff after- 
wards came to him, and asked him, if he had cut the 
clover, and that he told him, he had not, and couldn't 
Main also testified, that there was trash and driftwood 
on the land, small trash that had come in there with the 
flood. The appellee thereafter, tried to get two other 
men, to cut the clover; one of these was Milt Gwartney. 
Gwartney testified, concerning this matter as follows: 
"I went there to cut the clover on this land for Mr. 
Woodruff, I took my son and two machines down there. 
I started to cut it, took a ridge first, it was a mass of 
weeds. I run into some fine brush, and went a little 
further and ran into fine driftwood. I went on, 
Page 3 

and struck 
stumps, and I backed out of that. I found some ola 
bundles of wheat around there. I could not see clover 
enough to pay, and I throwed the cycle bar up, and 
went home." 

Complaint is made of an instruction which the Court 
gave to the Jury concerning the adjustment agreement. 
The instruction is as follows: 

"The defendant claims that after the high water of 
May 11, 1920. he and the plaintiff entered into a new ar- 
rangement and contract, whereby the defendant was to 
plant com in the portions of the clover tract which was 
then plowed, and whereby, also, the defendant contract- 
ed that he would cut and care for the clover seed crop 
on the unplowed portions of the tract if he could do so; 
and in consideration thereof the defendant claims that 
the plaintiff released the defendant from the latter's for- 
mer contract to farm the land in corn. The defendant 
further claims that he kept and performed his contract 
as herein set forth; that he did plant the plowed land m 
corn in a reasonable time thereafter; and that he in good 
faith made reasonable exertions and efforts to cut and

>i:;'-- .- -;;i;t 



id.i..> 



care for the clover seed crop, but by the use of such reas- 
onable efforts and exertions, he was not able to cut and 
save any clover seed. If you believe from the greater 
weight of the evidence that the new contract was made, 
as claimed by the defendant, and that the defendant 
kept and performed the contract, by planting the plow- 
ed land in corn in a reasonable tame thereafter, and by 
using reasonable exertions to cut and save the clover 
crop, you should find for the defendant and against the 
plaintiff on the question of damages claimed by the plain- 
tiff." 

The appellant contends, that this instruction, was erron- 
eous. It is clear however tlhat it correctly presents the 
appellee's theory of defense; and merely submits to the 
jury the determination of the questions of fact connect- 
ed therewith; and which are vital in the controversy. 
There was no question about the fact that there was a 
final agreement made between the parties, which was 
made to adjust their differences; both parties testify to 
this fact. The instruction submitted to the jury the 
question, whether the agreement was made, as testified 
to, by the appellant, or as testified to, by the appellee; 
and if they found that the agreement was, as claimed 
by the appellee, then to determine from the evidence 
whether the appellee had complied with it. We find no 
error in the instruction. The jury by their verdict 
found 

Page 4 
these question of fact presented for the deter- 
mination of the jury, and they found in favor of the ap- 
pellee; and they were fully warranted in such finding 
from the evidence. The finding of the jury on these 
questions was decisive of the controversy. 

In this view of the case, it is not necessary to dis- 
cuss the other questions raised, concerning the general 
rights and duties of tenants in the cultivation of lands 
leased; or the extent of appellant's right of recovery un- 
der the Bill of Particulars. The Court properly render- 
ed judgment on the verdict; and the judgment is affirm- 
ed. 

Affirmed.

1^6 Town of Griggsvil|#, Appellant 



porge R. Newriian, Appellee 
Appeal from Pike. 



NIEHAUS, J. 



This is a prosecution brought by the appellant Town 
of Griggsville in Pike County, on the relation of Williard 
Nesbitt, Commissioners of Highways, against the appel- 
lee George R. Newman for an alleged obstruction of a 
public road, by encroachment thereon by the appellee. 
The claim of the appellant being that the appellee built 
his fence beyond the line of the public road, and into the 
public road; and after notice to that effect by the Com 
missioner of Highways, failed to remove the same. 

This case was in this court on a previous appeal; and 
the judgment from which the appeal was taken, was re- 
versed and remanded; Town of Griggsville v. George R. 
Newman, 214 111. App. 653. After re-instatment of the 
case in the trial court, another trial was had, which re- 
sulted in a judgment and verdict, finding the appellee 
not guilty; from this judgment an appeal is now prosecut- 
ed. Various reasons are urged for a reversal of the 
last judgment. The first point made by the appellant is 
that the verdict is contrary to a clear preponderance of 
the evidence. This contention is based mainly on the 
fact, that the appellant had the greater number of wit- 
nesses to testify upon its side of the controversy. It is 
familiar law however, that the greater number of wit- 
nesses do not necessarily make a preponderance of evi- 
dence in favor of the side upon which they testify. 

Page 1 
Witnesses, who testify in a case are not equal in credi- 
bility: nor do they have equal knowledge concerning the 
matters about which they testify; nor are they equally 
intelligent, and fair, and truthfully inclined; all these 
elements and others enter into the question of the 
weight of the evidence, and in determining the credence 
which the jury will give to the matters concerning whicn 
they testify. Applying the usual tests, which the jury 
had a right to apply, it is evident that the greater num- 



ISO! m-'sT ^hoA 
.■?.'/ 



iTl'ji .r.J ,'.:■■!: 



io j:.-"'!.a'i3M 









ber of witnesses did not carry the greater weight of the 
evidence in the judgment of the jury. As has often been 
held, in a case like this, where there is a sharp conflict m 
the evidence as to the controlling facts, it is peculiarly 
the province of the jury to determine where the weight 
of the evidence lies. The jury found in this case that 
the weight of the evidence was on the side of the appel- 
lee; and the finding of the jury on that point, was sus- 
tained by the trial court. This court would not be justi- 
fied under the circumstances here presented, in holding 
that the verdict was manifestly against the weight of the 
evidence. 

It is contended, that the trial court erred in admit- 
ting over the objection of the appellant, evidence of the 
varying width of the road in question, north and south of 
appellee's land. While it is true, that the variance in the 
width of the highway at points north and south of the 
appellee's land, was not relevant to the main issue, nam- 
ely, whether the appellee built the fence in question 
along the line of the former fence, which was conceded 
to be on the line of the road, or built it about four feet 
further out in the highway, it is a controverted question 
in the evidence, where the line of the former fence was, 
which was conceded to be on the line of the road. Un- 
der these circumstances the lines of the road above and 
below the appellee's land might have some bearing on 
locating the line of the road along the appellee's land. 
The 

Page 2 

court limited the purpose of the admission of the 
evidence by instructing the jury, that the measurements 
as to the width of the road in controversy, and the road 
north and south of the Newman land, were admitted in 
evidence only for the purpose of fixing the location of 
the old and new fences, and certain land marks such as 
posts, stumps and trees mentioned by the witnesses; and 
not for the purpose of showing the width of the road in 
question along the Newman land. Insofar as it had any 
tendency to show the location of the matters referrea 
to, we think the evidence was not incompetent. 

Appellant criticises some of the instructions given 
for appellee, and insists, that the language used, may 
have misled the jury into erroneous conceptions of the 



law. We do not think the criticism is justified. The in- 
structions must be considered all together, and as a ser- 
ies; considered in this way, they state the law with sub- 
stantial correctness; and we do not think, that the jury 
received an erroneous impression concerning them, nor 
wrongfully applied the law to the facts. 

It is also contended, that the court erred in not 
granting a new trial on the strength of the matters con- 
tained in the affidavit of Williard Nesbitt, which recites 
certain alleged newly discovered evidence. This newly 
discovered evidence was inreference to certain facts 
testified to, on the trial by the witnesses Galloway, Os- 
born and Weeks. Affiant averred in the affidavit, that 
he expected to show these new matters by the same 
witnesses; and others who were not named in the affi- 
davit. Appellant had an opportunity to elicit the mat- 
ters set forth in the affidavit on cross examination of 
these witnesses, when they were on the stand, and tes- 
tified at the trial; or by calling them afterwards in re- 
buttal. The affidavit was clearly insufficient to warrant 
the court in granting a new trial. 
Page 3 

It is also urged, that it was not proper to render a 
judgment against the appellant town for costs. The 
judgment for costs was in accordance with the provis- 
ions of Section 6, Article 5 of Chapter 139 Revised Stat- 
utes. Town of Anchor v. Stewart 158 111. App. 205. 

We find no reversible error in the record and judg- 
ment is affirmed. 

Affirmed.

J. H. Augtin, Appfellant 
Appeal \ f rony^ord. 



NIEHAUS, J. 

This is a suit to recover damages for an alleged 
breach of warranty made by the appellant in the sale 
of a stallion to the appellee. There was a trial in the 
circuit court of Ford county, which resulted in a verdict 
and judgment for $200.00 in favor of appellee; and this 

appeal is prosecuted from the judgment. The appel- 
lant contends, that the trial court erred in the admis- 
sion of secondary evidence, namely in allowing the ap- 
pellee to testify from his recollection as to the number 
of mares, which were served by the stallion; also that 
it was error to allow appellee to refresh his recollection 
from a memorandum which he had made. The testi- 
mony of the appellee concerning the number of mares 
served based upon his recollection, was not secondary 
evidence, even though he may have kept an account of 
these matters in a book. It is elementary, that the re- 
collection of a witness concerning a fact or a transaction 
in which he participated, or of which he has personal 
knowledge, is the best evidence on that subject. This 
evidence therefore, was the best evidence, of which the 
nature of the case was susceptible. Nor was it error to 
allow the appellee to refresh his recollection from a 
memorandum he had made concerning matters about 
which he was competent to testify. Iroquis Furnace 
Co. V. Elphicke & Co. 200 111. 411; Diamond Glue Co. v.

Page 1 
Callahan v. Conran 172 111. App. 261. 
It is further contended, that the record does not 
show that the appellee was qualified to testify concern- 
ing the market value of the staUion in question. It ap- 
pears from the evidence, that the appellee had been m 
the business of buying, selling and standing stallions, for 
about twenty yea,rs prior to the time of his testimony. 
This was sufficient to qualify him to answer questions

concerning market values. 

It was a controverted quesiton in the case whether 
the appellant had warranted the stallion to be a foal 
getter, and a first class coverer. This was the main is- 
sue and concerning this matter, there was a conflict in 
the testimony of the parties to the suit; the appellant 
da'iming, that he made no warranty at all of the stal- 
lion's qualities in that respect. There is evidence cor- 
roborating appellee's verison of the matter; and appar- 
ently more evidence corroborating appellant's testimony 
on that question; but it was a fair question for the jury 
to decide, where the determination of the matter invol- 
ved the credibility of the witnesses, who testify for and 
against the respective parties. The jury believed the 
appellee, and this ocurt would not be warranted in hold- 
ing that they should have believed the appellant; and 
we would not be warranted in holding under these cir- 
cumstances that the verdict is manifestly against the 
weight of the evidence. Harroun v. Benton 197 111. Apj .

ley v. Swail 194 111. App. 151; Village of Bolton v. Lewis 
194 111. App. 71. 

We find no error in the giving or refusal of the in- 
structions in the case; and no reversible error is disclos- 
ed by the record. The judgment is affirmed. 

Affirmed.

General No. 7340 Aegnda No. 53 

April Term 1921 ,: 
Edward Wolf, Appellee 

vs. , • 

Turner State Bank, Appellant "S^'S 

Appeal from Chnstian. "^ 

NIEHAUS, J. '|/ |S^ 

The appellee Edward Wolf commenced this suit in 
replevin in the circuit court of Christian county to re- 
cover possession of a promissory note of the alleged val- 
ue of $4000.00, of which he was the maker; and which 
he claimed, was illegally detained from him, by the ap- 
pellant. Turner State Bank. The main issues in this 
controversy were, whether the appellee was the owner 
of the note in question, or entitled to a return of the 
note, which he claimed, he placed in the hands 
of the cashier of the appellant bank, upon certain con- 
ditions, which were to be complied with by the Daniel 
Hays Land Company, and which he alleged, were never 
complied with; or whether the appellant bank, was a le- 
gal holder of the note in due course, for value, and with- 
out notice of any infirmities effecting the execution or 
negotiation of the note. It appears from the evidence, 
that prior to the making of the note, two representa- 
tives of the Daniel Hays Land Company, Yates and 
Brainard, entered into negotiations with the appellee, in 
June 1919, for the purpose of selling him some land, 
which the company claimed to own in the State of Cali- 
fornia. The initial negotations on the part of the com- 
pany, were by Yates; but subsequently carried on and 
brought to a conclusion by both Yates and Brainard. The 
appellee testified, that on the evening of June 16, 1919, 
he went to appellant's place of business, to see 
Page 1 

L. E. Swigert 
appellant's cashier, and sought his advice concerning the 
matter; and told him about the land deal which he nad 
on hand; and that Yates wanted him to leave the note 
at the bank on deposit until the contract for the pur- 
chase of the land was returned. To use appellee's own 
language: "I told him, I didn't want to leave a note, that 
would cause any trouble; if there was any chance; ho 



''A .;bn's:A

said there wouldn't be any trouble; he said you leave the 
note here, and it will be perfectly safe; he said just draw 
up a note payable to yourself, and leave it; I told him, I 
had no contract; it was to be sent to the company for 
iheir approval; and if the contract was not changed by 
the company, or the deal was off, the note was to be re- 
turned." It does not appear clearly from the appellee's 
testimony, just what changes were to be made in the 
contract, which the representatives of the Land Com.- 
pany wanted the appellee to sign. According to the 
testimony of the Land company's representative, Brain- 
ard, the change in the contract which was to be made, 
was this: the time of the appellee's trip to California to 
inspect the land, was to be extended from ninety to one 
hundred and twenty days; and Brainard also testifiea, 
that the appellee had stipulated at that time, that the 
company should sign the contract before he did; and that 
he wanted the company's signature as evidence of their 
good faith, before he signed it. And Swigert testified 
concerning the return of the contract to the appellee, as 
follows: "As to mailing the contract back, the arrange- 
ments were made with Mr. Brainard; I understand, that 
it was to be either mailed back to Mr. Wolf, or the 
bank." It is claimed by the appellant, that on the even- 
ing in question, at the end of the negotiations which took 
place in a room of the bank, that an understanding was 
reached that the company should have the right to have 
the appellee's note discounted by the bank. 
Page 2 

so that the 
company would immediately receive the money there- 
from; and that if the appellee after his inspection trip 
to California didn't want the land, he would be entitled 
to receive back his money from the company. Swigert 
testifies in reference to this matter as follows: "Mr. 
Wolf said to Mr. Brainard, that he would be willing to 
put up a note and leave it with me until after his visit 
to the land, and inspection of it; Mr. Brainard positively 
informed him he would not consider such a thing under 
the circumstances; that he must put up a note that was 
payable to the cashier, on which they could get the cash, 
a note that could be discounted. They discussed the 
proposition further and finally Mr. Wolf proposed to Mr.

Brainard that if he would endorse the note with him, he 
would execute the note; Mr. Brainard wrote out the note 
and handed it to Mr. Wolf and Mr. Wolf signed his name 
to the note and turned it over and endorsed it and Mr. 
Brainard immediately endorsed it himself." He also 
testified, that "the note was then given to me or the 
bank, to be discounted; no special arrangements had been 
made before that; it was negotiated at that time ***** 
then I for the bank issued a time certificate for $4000.00 
payable to the order of the Daniel Hays Company, at 
Mr. Brainard's direction; I issued it the same evening 
that the conveirsation was held ***** I handed Mr. Brain- 
ard the certificate just after Mr. Wolf had left." The 
appellee denied, that any other agreement or under- 
standing was had concerning the note in question, ex- 
cept the one testified to by him; and that the note was 
negotiated without his knowledge or consent; that he 
was not present when any negotiation of the note took 
place; and that he did not know of the issuance of a cer- 
tificate of deposit for the same to the Daniel Hays Land 
Company. 

There was a trial by jury, which resulted in a verdict 
Page 3 
finding the issues for the appellee, and judgment was 
rendered upon the verdict; this appeal is prosecuted 
from the judgment. A reversal of the judgment is urg- 
ed for various reasons. It is contended, that the trial 
court erred in allowing the appellee to testify concern- 
ing the real property which he owned. This testimony 
insofar as it indicated the financial ability of the appellee 
to pay the note, and established the fact of the value of 
the note, was not erroneous. But if there wias error in 
admitting this evidence, such error was clearly waived 
by the appellant, when on cross examination he elicited 
from the appellee the same facts in detail. 

Complaint is also made, because a question was ask- 
ed the witness Swigert, about the financial standing of 
Brainard. While this was not a legitimate subject ot 
inquiry under the issues, the question asked, and the 
answer given, did not result in anything that can be con- 
sidered prejudicial to the rights of the appellant, and 
therefore, was harmless error. 

Appellant insists, that the verdict of the jury ir; 



: :'■ ,.^n.: rhl""/ :;jo,-; -if <;••-■ !o;n-'.i [il, 
'•Jo'i of'j Im:- :'ofvv -vtu: ii.i.T .^ir': 









;l,. v;n5v,;ulo 



against the weight of the evidence. The record disclos- 
es, that there was a sharp conflict in the evidence con- 
cerning the details of the transaction which resulted in 
appellee's making the note in question, and putting it 
into the possession of appellant's cashier; none of the 
three witnesses, who participated in the transaction, 
agree in their testimony about the transaction. It was 
therefore the peculiar province of the jury, who heard 
and saw the witnesses, to determine where the truth in 
the controversy lay; and the jury was in the best posit- 
ion to do so. The circumstances apparently corroborated 
appellee's version of the transaction; and no reasonable 
explanation except the testimony of the appellee, ap- 
pears from the evidence, why if the Hays Land Company 
was to receive the 

Page 4 
proceeds of the note at once, the note 
was not made payable to the company, instead of to tne 
order of the appellee himself. It is clear at least, that 
the court would not be justified in saying from the proofs 
in the record, that the verdict was against the manifest 
weight of the evidence. 

Complaint is made of the giving, and the refusal of 
instructions. The second instruction given for appellee, 
is criticised because the question of appellant's knowled- 
ge of a failure of consideration, is not coupled with the 
time of the purchase of the note. The omission is not 
important, inasmuch as all the evidence bearing upon the 
question of knowledge, is to the effect, that whatever 
knowledge appellant's cashier had of any infirmities in 
the note, he had at the time of the negotiations and pur- 
chase. 

Appellant also contends, that the third instruction 
is erroneous, because "nowhere in the instruction is 
there anything stated with reference to the proof of 
failure of performance of the condition upon which said 
note was delivered." The instruction does indirectly as- 
sume, that the condition upon which the note was left 
with the cashier was not performed; but the evidence 
is conclusive upon the point, that no contract was signed 
by the appellee; and no deal closed by the appellee after 
the note had been given. Assuming as we must, that 
the jury believed the testis* >ny of the appellee concern-

ing the conditions upon which he left the note with the 
appellant's cashier, the jury could not have been misled 
into error by the inference that the instruction assumed, 
that the condition had not been fulfilled. The assump- 
tion in an instruction of a fact, which is conclusively 
shown by the evidence, is not a sufficient legal basis for 
reversal of a judgment. Martens v. Public Service Co. 
of Northern Illinois 219 111. App. 160; Peterson v. Elgin 

Page 5 
A. & S. Traction Co. 238 111. 403; Chicago Screw Co. v. 
Weiss 203 111. 536; Citizens Ins. Co. v. Stoddard 197 111. 
330; Illinois Central R. Co. v. King 179 111. 91; Morris v. 
O'Brien 81 111. App. 203. 

Appellant's criticism of the other given instructions 
for appellee, we think is without merit. We find no er- 
ror in the refusal of appellant's instructions which were 
not given. 

The record does not disclose any reversible error; 
and the judgment is affirmed. 

Affirmed.

I vs./ 



Chas E. Springstun^et al, Appellants 
Appeal from qty Co^t of the City of Pana. 

NIEHAUS, J. S 



^ The appellees, Benton Tipsword, E. T. Mahin and 

j^:-^"^;-*as^ Orlin Morr as trustees of the Methodist Episcopal 

%^' Church South, of the State of Illinois, a religious corpor- 

ation, filed a bill in equity against Charles E. Springstun, 
\ the appellant, and Peter Sanders, in the City court, of 

^: the City of Pana in Christian County, alleging in the 

I bill, that the church mentioned in its corporate capacity, 

% is the owner of certain real estate in the City of Pana, 

^ which is described in the bill; and which theretofore, 

% had been used for the purpose of relgious worship; ana 

that said premises contained a dwelling house, which 
had been used as a parsonage in connection with the 
church; that the congregation constituting the church at 
Pana, had become so reduced in numbers, that it was 
unable to support and maintain a church; and that there- 
fore the church building had been removed, and the con- 
gregation dissolved; leaving the dwelling house or par- 
sonage remaining on the premisps; and that after the 
dissolution of the congregation, the management charge 
and control of the real property mentioned passed into 
the general charge and control of the Annual Confer- 
ence of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Illinois, whicl; 
Conference by and through its trustees has general 
charge, and exercises supervision and control; that at a 
quarterly meeting of the conference held at Donaldson 
Church, 

Page 1 
in the Moccasin charge of the Salem districr, 
pursuant to the by-laws, rules and customs of the church, 
and by a resolution lawfully adopted, it was decided that 
the church property mentioned, should be disposed of; 
and that thereupon the trustees of the church were 
authorized to make sale thereof, and to execute and de- 
liver all necessary deeds of conveyance therefor; that 
the trustees placed the property described with Baldwin 



.1 -r-;,. ,,:{t 



'li'\ 



V;n- i:. 



& Baldwin, agents, for sale; and that said agents made 
an oral contract with the appellant for the sale of the 
property referred to, by the terms of which, the appel- 
lant agreed to purchase the same for $1000.00; that 
$100.00 of said purchase price was deposited by the ap- 
pellant with said agents, under said contract to "bind 
the deal." That afterwards said agent acting for the 
trustees tendered a formal written contract of purchase 
to the appellant, and requested him to execute the same; 
but that he declined to do so; that thereafter the trus- 
tees procured and submitted to the appellant, an ab- 
stract of title of the property; and also executed and 
tendered him a deed for the same; but that the appel- 
lant has steadily refused to accept the same, and to com ■ 
plete the deal. The bill also alleges, that while these 
negotiations between Baldwin & Baldwin, representing 
the trustees, and the appellant, were being carried on, 
the appellant surreptitiously, and secretly, and without 
the knowledge permission or consent of the trustees, 
fraudulently represented himself to be the owner of the 
property contracted for, and rented the dwelling house 
on the premises to divers persons and collected divers 
large sums of money as rentals for the same; that the 
defendant Peter Sanders was one of these; and that 
Sanders was in possession of the dwelling house refer- 
red to on the 6th day of May 1918; that the trustees up- 
on learning of the course pursued by the appellant, caus- 
ed a notice to be 

Page 2 
served on Sanders for the possession 
of the premises; and that Sanders afterwards attorned 
to them; and thereafter paid rent to them; that there- 
upon, the appellant instituted an action of forcible de- 
tainer before a justice of the peace to recover possess- 
ion of the property from Sanders; and did obtain a judg- 
ment for possession against him; but that Sanders has 
appealed from this judgment to the city court of Pana, 
which appeal is pending and undetermined. The bill 
further alleges that appellant is claiming, that he has 
acquired some right or interest in the property in ques- 
tion superior to that of the trustees, by virtue of his un- 
completed oral contract of purchase; and that the apel- 
lees fear and believe, that if the appellant is allowed to 



jf ' 'i:r- 'if 



proceed in his action of forcible detainer by reason of 
the limited defense available to Sanders, that their title 
may be clouded by this suit; and that the value of the 
property may be materially affected thereby; and that 
it may cause irrepairable injui-y and vexatious litigation. 
The bill prays for an injunction to restrain the appell- 
ant from further pi'osecuting the forcible detainer suit 
against Sanders, and for an accounting of the rents col- 
lected by him, and that the title and possession of the 
appellees may be quieted and for other relief. The de- 
fendant Peter Sanders entered his appearance in the 
case, but did not file any answer to the bill. The appel- 
lant, filed an answer, in which he admits that he pur- 
chased the premises for $1000.00 and paid $100.00 in 
cash on the purchase price; and avers, that under the 
terms of purchase the appellees were to submit a prop- 
erly certified abstract of title, showing merchanta'ole 
title thereto in the Methodist Episcopal Church South, 
of the State of Illinois; and that when such abstract was 
presented with a warranty deed with full covenants of 
warranty, conveying to the appellant the premises re- 
ferred to, the appel- 

Page 3 
lant was to pay $900.00 as the full purchaser 
price of the property. He also avers, that it was agreed 
that the appellant should immediately enter into the 
possession of the premises in question, pending submis- 
sion of the abstract; and that the appellees accepted the 
$100.00 paid, and placed the appellant in full possession 
of the premises. He also avers, that the appellees have 
never tendered him an abstract showing merchantable 
title in the church, nor a proper warranty deed; that he 
has at all times been ready to complete his part of the 
purchase of the property, when the appellees tendered 
him the abstract and deed required by the contract of 
purchase; and he also avers, that he had full right and 
lawful authority to enter into the possession of the prem- 
ises at the time he did enter upon the same; and that ne 
continued under such lawful right in the undisputed pos- 
session of the premises until about the 1st day of June 
1918. 

Upon a hearing of the case, the Court rendered a 
decree finding the facts substantially as set forth in the 



j.^nrioi \,:

bill; and finding, that the appellant entered on the prem- 
ises and took posssession of the same without any legal 
right or authority; and without the knowledge and con- 
sent of the appellees; and that he collected as rent the 
sum of $78.00, of which sum he had returned $2.00, 
leaving a balance of $76.00 in his hands; and that he 
should account to the appellees for said balance; and 
that he was not entitled to recover for any money ex- 
pended by him upon said premises during the time that 
he had wrongfully possessed himself thereof. The de- 
cree also finds the facts in relation to the tenancy of 
Peter Sanders substantially as stated in the decree; and 
enjoins the appellant from further prosecuting the for- 
cible detainer suit. 

The evidence adduced on the hearing of the case 
fully sustains the findings of fact in the decree. The ap- 
pellant had 

Page 4 
no legal right under his contract to purchase 
the premises to take possession, nor does the evidence 
show any other agreement, authority or consent by the 
trustees, to take possession or from which a right to 
take possession could be inferred. The appellant was 
a mere trespasser upon the property; and therefore had 
no right to lease the same, or collect, or retain the ren- 
tals thereof; and the decree properly compelled him to 
account for the same. Clay v. Hammond 199 111. 370. 
Being a mere trespasser, he could not legally recover 
any money that he had expended in connection with his 
wrongful entry upon or posesssion of the premises. It is 
apparent also, that as a matter of law, Sanders being his 
tenant, could not legally dispute the right of appellant 
as landlord. The Methodist Episcopal Church South, al- 
though the real owner of the premises, is not a party to 
this forcible detainer suit; and it cannot assert its rights. 
The legal result of the forcible detainer suit therefore, 
against Sanders, would be a judgment in favor of the 
appellant whereby he would regain his wrongful posses- 
sion of the premises; and the judgment thus obtained 
would necessarily be a cloud upon the right and title of 
the real ov/ner, the Methodist Episcopal Church South.

tion referred to. the appellees would be involved in othe,- 
litigation, to remove this cloud, and regain the possess- 
ion and control of the premises. The right to relief oy 
injunction under these circumstances is clearly establish-

J. ^. Ross, Plain^lf in Error 

Georg-e B.\ Maston, befendant in Error 



Error to Vermilion 



NIEHAUS. J. 



/ 



The Plaintiff in Error J. C. Ross, filed a bill in equity 
in the circuit court of Vermilion county against Defend- 
ant in Error George B. Maston, to which a demurrer was 
sustained: and he thereupon, by leave of court filed an 
amended and supplemental bill, in which he set up in 
detail the history and course of proceedings in the cir- 
cuit court on appeal, of a certain cause which the Defen- 
dant in Error brought against the Plaintiff in Error, and 
his wife Elleii Ross; and in which the Defendant in Er- 
ror sought to recover a commission for bringing about 
the sale of a 320 acre farm, alleged to have been owned 
by Defendant in Error's wife Ellen Ross, which litigation 
finally resulted in a judgment in the circuit court of Ver- 
milion county against the Plaintiff in Error for $320.00, 
from which the Plaintiff in Error prosecuted an appeal 
to this court; and this court affirm.ed said judgment; 
Maston v. Ross 201 111. App. 355. 

The Plaintiff in Error asserts in his bill, that the 
judgment finally recovered against him. and which was 
affirmed by this court \\as illegal, void and unconstitu- 
tional; that the Defendant in Error threatened to issue 
an execution thereon, and attempt to collect the judg- 
ment; and tlireatened to bring, and did bring action on 
the appeal bond given on the 

Page 1 

last appeal; and fur- 
thermore, that an action on the appeal bond had been 
brought after the original bill to which a demurrer had 
been sustained was filed. That personal service in the 
latter case had been obtained on J. S. McFen-en the 
surety on the appeal bond, but not on the complainant; 
and that a judgment had been obtained against the sur- 
ety for $433.19, which was the full amount of the judg- 
ment against the Plaintiff in Error, and costs; also that 
the judgment against McFerren had already been col- 



.-J ' J .■ ■ - ' -I ! . 



lected by the Defendant in Error; and alleges that the 
Defendant in Error, is insolvent; that the Plaintiff in 
Error is liable to McFerren, and will have to re-pay tne 
amount of the judgment recovered against McFerren; 
and that unless restrained by injunction, the Defendant 
in Error Maston, will spend the money so collected by 
him, and prevent Plaintiff in Error from recovering -le 
same; and thereby deprive the Complainant of his 
property without due process of law. 

A supplemental bill filed, prays that the court will 
restrain and enjoin the Defendant in Error, from spend- 
ing the money collected on said judgment against said 
McFerren; and from preventing the Plaintiff in Error 
from recovering the amount; and, that the court will 
order the Defendant in Error to return to the Plaintiff 
in Error the full amount of the money so collected oy 
him on the judgment referred to, together with costs. 
A demurrer was filed to the supplemental bill and sus- 
tained by the court; and the bill was dismissed for want 
of equity. From the order of the court dismissing the 
bill a writ of error is now prosecuted. 

It is sufficient to say concerning the judgment ren- 
dered against the Plaintiff in Error for the commissions 
claimed by the Defendant in Error, and all the questions 
re- 
Page 2 
lating to the liability of the Defendant in the judg- 
ment, for said commissions, and concerning the jurisdic- 
tion of the court to render the judgment and to adjud- 
icate the matters involved, were finally settled by the 
opinion of this court affirming the judgment; and have 
therefore become res adjudicata; and cannot be made 
the subject of review by bill in chancery. There are no 
facts stated in the supplemental bill, from which the in- 
ference could be drawn, that the judgment against Mc- 
Ferren the surety on the appeal bond referred to, was 
not regular, legal and binding; a court of equity would 
have no jurisdiction to interfere with the enforcement 
of such a judgment. Nor would a court of equity, have 
any jurisdiction to exercise control over the money col- 
lected by the Plaintiff on such a judgment. Nor would 
a court of equity under the averments of the supplemen- 
tal bill have any power to order the money collected by

the Defendant in Error be returned to the Plaintiff in 
Error. It is clear, that the supplemental bill is wholly 
without equity: and the court properly sustained the de- 
murrer to the bill. The order of the court dismissing 
supplemental bill is therefore affirmed.

October Term 1921 
John Thomas, Appellee 



W. H. Kraft, Appellant 
Appeal from McLean. 



NIEHAUS, J. 



John Thomas the appellee brought this suit against 
the appellant W. H. Kraft, to recover damages, which 
he claims to have sustained, on account of injuries to his 
horse, buggy a,nd harness, resulting from a collision with 
the automobile of appellant; which collision he alleges, 
was brought about, by the negligence of the appellant, 
in driving an automobile at an excessive rate of speed. 
There was a judgment before the justice of the peace in 
favor of the appellee; and appeal taken to the circuit 
court, where a trial de novo was had, which resulted in 
a verdict by the juo', finding the appellant guilty, and 
assessing appellee's damages at $177.50. The court ren- 
dered judgment on the verdict; and this appeal is pros- 
ecuted from the judgment. 

One of the errors assigned, which is urged as a 
ground for reversal of the judgment is, that the counsel 
for the appellee by his interrogation of the appellee as 
a witness brought out the fact, that the appellant was 
protected in whatever judgment might be rendered 
against him, by insurance. It has been repeatedly held, 
that to bring this matter to the attention of the jui-y m 
an action of this kind is reversible error. Bishop v. Chi- 
cago Junction Ry. Co. 289 111. 63; McCarthy

the court sustained objections to those portions of the 
answers which referred to the insurance and to the in- 
surance company; and also ordered the answers stircken 
out. This did not remove the effect of the answers from 

the minds of the jury, nor could it remedv the harm

which had been odne. It must also be pointed out that 
it was error, to allow the witness Lee Bozarth, to give 
his opinion about the speed at which the appellant was 
driving his car, without being qualified to testify on that 
subject by a preliminary examination showing, that he 
had sufficient knowledge concerning the matter of the 
speed of automobiles to enable him to form a correct 
judgment on that subject. Barnett v. Levy 213 111. App.

For the errors indicated the judgment is reversed 
and the cause remanded. 

Reversed and remanded.

Plaintiffs in Error 
vs. ,. ■ 
John R. Bradshaw, Defendant in Error 
Error to Sangamon. 
. NIEHAUS, J. 

The Defendant in Error John R. Bradshaw on the 
20th day of May 1920, had a judgment entered by con- 
fession in the circuit court of Sangamon County for the 
sum of $29,382.85, against Henry N. Hansen, J. C. Mitch- 
ell and F. J. Parr, on a judgment note and the power of 
attorney, which is the basis of the controversy. The 
note and power of attorney is as follows: 

Decatur, Illinois, Dec. 31, 1919. 
$26,500.00. 

On March 1st after date, for value received, we or 
either of us promise to pay to the order of Jno. R. Brad- 
shaw, at the Milliken National Bank, twenty-six thousand 
five hundred dollars, at said bank in Decatur, 111., with 
interest at the rate of seven per cent per annum from 
date if not paid when due. 

And to secure the payment of said amount we here- 
by authorize, irrevocably, any attorney of any court of 
record to appear for us in such court, in term time or va- 
cation, at any time hereafter, and confess a judgment 
without process in favor of the holder of this note, for 
such amount as may appear to be unpaid thereon, to- 
gether with costs, and 10 per centum attorney's fees, and 
to waive and release all errors which may intervene in 
any such proceedings, and consent to immediate execu- 
tion upon such judgment; hereby ratifying and confirm- 
ing all that our said attorney may do by virtue hereof. 
And we hereby authorize said bank at any time, at the 
election of its president, cashier or any other officer 
thereof, to apply toward the payment of this note whetn- 
er due or not, any money which said bank may have in 
either of our deposit accounts.

At the May term of the circuit court in 1921, Henry 
N. Hansen, one of the defendants in the judgment, made 
a motion 

Page 1 
in writing setting forth in the motion the 
grounds upon which he claimed the right to have the 
judgment opened up, and to plead matters in defense 
thereto. Afterwards, the other defendants in the judg- 
ment, H. C. Mitchell and F. J. Parr, also filed their mo- 
tion in writing together with their affidavits in support 
thereof to the same end. Upon the hearing of the 
matter, one of the defendants, J. C. Mitchell, was call- 
ed as a witness on behalf of the plaintiff, and was ex- 
amined concerning the matters contained in his affidav- 
it, which had been filed in support of his motion to set 
aside the judgment. The Bill of Exceptions shows, that 
the seperate motions of the parties were considered to- 
gether as one motion and denied. A Writ of Error is 
prosecuted from the order of the court denying the mo- 
tion. The Plaintiffs in Error claim the right to have 
the judgment opened up and to plead in defense. The 
right of the appellants, to have the judgment opened 
and to plead, depends entirely upon whether the affidav- 
its of the parties, filed in support of their motion con- 
tain matters which show directly or by reasonable in- 
ference that the Plaintiffs in Error have a meritorious 
defense to the judgment, or some substantial part there- 
of. We find that the following statements of facts ap- 
pear* from the affidavit of the Defendant Henry N. Han- 
sen, which was part of his motion; "Fourth, the note 
and power of attorney was extended on to-wit the 3rd 
day of March 1920, for a consideration of $1500.00, which 
was paid to John R. Bradshaw, and the said extension 
of said note and power of attorney has not expired. 
Fifth, there is no interest due until the extension of the 
time expires; but that said judgment has a large amount 
of interest computed in said judgment." The affidav- 
its of the other defendants in the judgment are corro- 
borative of these verified averments. The 

Page 2 

judgment 
note in question was for $26,500.00; by its terms no in- 
terest was due thereon or payable until after the note 



)f?'!'.::i'i 



■ "v 'f .'Wi 



<i[i^:>u\- nt 9^)f 



had become due. If the time of payment of the note 
was extended from March to June 1920 by this alleged 
agreement of the parties, then the note did not become 
due until June; and no interest became due until June; 
and then only, if the note remained unpaid at that time; 
hence under the averments at the time the judgment 
was taken the defendants were not liable for any inter- 
est. Assuming, that the plaintiff under the power of 
attorney had a right to take a judgment by confession 
on May 20th, 1920, such judgment according to the 
terms of the note and the agreement referred to could 
legally be only for the amount of the principal of the 
note and ten per cent attorney's fees, which together 
would make a total sum of $29,150.00; the judgment 
however is for $29,382.50; thus showing an excess of at 
least $232.50 over the amount the plaintiff could be le- 
gally entitled to recover. There is a clear inference 
therefore, from the affidavits of the defendants in tne 
judgment, that they have a defense, to at least a part 
of the judgment. We are of opinion that the court 
should have allowed the motion to open up the judg- 
ment, and should have given the defendants leave to 
plead. The order of the court is therefore reversed, 
and the cause remanded with directions to sustain the 
motion of the defendants in error, to open up the judg- 
ment, and to grant them leave to plead in defense. 
Reversed and remanded with directions.

Fred Baber, Trustee, Appellee 

vs. 

Erastus Hurst, Appellant 

Appeal from Edgar. 

^ NIEHAUS, J. / 

'^\ A 

. "Vs:'-=... °" February 10, 1915 Charles Hoult, Laura J. Hoult, 

\^ '"■"" Everett Hoult, J. Warren Hoult, Annette Hoult and 

^"^ Lewis Hoult, entered into an agreement with their cred- 

itors, including the appellant, Erastus Hurst, by which 
they conveyed all their property real and personal, ex- 
■^ cept 80 acres of land, to the appellee Fred Baber as 

^ trustee, for the benefit of their creditors. The agree- 

ment recites, that the debtors named, were indebted to 
•%^ sundry persons companies and corporations in large sums 

of money, amounting to about $150,000.00; and that 
they owned about 714 acres of land in Edgar County; and 
about 560 acres of land in Bolivar county, Mississippi: 
and approximately about $10,000.00 worth of personal 
property. That Everett Hoult, one of the debtors nam- 
ed, was possessed of real estate consisting of about 160 
acres of land in Edgar county, and personal property of 
the value of about $3000.00; and that, inasmuch as num- 
erous creditors had taken judgments against the debt- 
ors named, and had brought judgment suits against them; 
an had executions issued thereon, which were then in 
the hands of the sheriff of Edgar county; and that the 
debtors being so indebted, and desiring to secure an 
equitable distribution of their assets among their credi- 
tors, to secure as large a return as possible from their 
assets, and to prevent a sacrifice thereof, agreed to trans- 
fer 



Page 1 

their property to the trustee. The agreement also 
provides that the trustee shall hold the property for the 
uses and purposes of the trust; except 80 acres of lana 
occupied by the debtor Charles Hoult and his family as 
a homestead, and including all household goods, and the 
improvements on the land, which are exempted from the 
operations of the trusteeship; and it was further agreed 
by the debtors and the creditors, that certain indebted- 



.1 .-iUAi'iiii: 



■,; r-3:i(; ■•,■■; 



ness against the SO acres so exempted, should also be 
assumed and paid by the trustee out of the monies or 
assets which would come into his hands as a part of che 
trust estate; and that Charles Hoult was to receive the 
SO acres of land, free from all existing encumbrances 
thereon, except the general and special taxes that were 
then due, or would become due therafter; that the 80 
acres of land, which by the agreement, was released from 
the operation of the trust, should be released to Charles 
Hoult as his seperate property. The agreement also 
provided, that in the event the trust estate, after de- 
ducting the 80 acres of land referred to, should be insuf- 
ficient to pay the indebtedness held by the creditors, the 
trustee should apportion the fund among the creditors 
in proportion to the amount of their respective claims, 
regardless of any priority of liens then existing. It was 
also stipulated in the trust agreement, that all liens held 
by the creditors, except mortgage liens, made prior to 
December 1st, 1914, were to be assigned to said trustee; 
and the trustee was fully empowered to sell and convey 
portions or all of the trust estate, and make good and 
sufficient deeds of conveyance thereof, free of any kind 
all existing liens or claims of liens of any of the credi- 
tors. 

The appellant Hurst's claim consisted of a judgment 
note made by Charles Hoult, Lewis J. Hoult, Everett 
Hoult and George W. Fair; the latter not a party to the 
trust agreement 

Page 2 
either as debtor or creditor. Fol- 
lowing the execution of the trust agreement on March 
22, 1915 the appellant took judgment by confession on 
the judgment note, for $9210.67 in the circuit court of 
Edgar county against the parties named. The appellee 
as trustee, proceeded under the trust agreement to car- 
ry out the purposes thereof, by collecting the assets and 
converting the real estate into funds for distribution 
among the creditors, in accordance with the require- 
ments of the trust; and made distribution of the funds 
in his hands from time to time among the creditors. On 
August 24, 1917, he paid the appellant two dividends of 
20 percent each upon his claim; and on February 2, 1918 
paid him another dividend of 20 percent. At the time 



. , J.. ,,. r 






■n\li ■/ 



of the filing of the bill of complaint herein, the trustee 
was ready to pay another divdend of 20 percent; but re- 
fused the further payment of dividends, unless the ap- 
pellant should assign his judgment to him as trustee, 
\yhich the appellant refused to do. The appellee there- 
upon filed this bill in equity, alleging that the appellant 
was a party to the trust agreement, and had received 60 
percent by virtue thereof; that under the terms of the 
trust agreement the 80 acres of land had been released 
to Charles Hoult one of the debtors; and had been re- 
tained by him under the terms of the trust agreement 
as exempted from claims of the creditors; but was legal- 
ly charged with the lien of the judgment which the ap- 
pellant had taken, contrary to the force and effect of 
said agreement; that under the terms of said agreement 
the appellee was entitled as trustee to an assignment o' 
appellant's judgment; and was entitled to have said 
judgment released as to all parties except George Fair. 
The bill also prayed, that the appellant be compelled to 
assign his judgment to the appellee as trustee, and that 
he be compelled to execute a release of the same as to 
all parties except said 

Page 3 

George Fair, and to release any 
lien he might have acquired thereby on any of the lands 
involved in the trust agreement. The appellant filed an 
answer to the bill, in which he denied the right of the 
appellee to the relief prayed for. 

On the hearing, the Court found, that the appel- 
lant's judgment was not an enforcible lien, except as to 
George W. Fair; and that the appellant as creditor upon 
receiving his distributive share of the debtor's estate, 
must take the same in full satisfaction of his claim 
against the debtors; and that the judgment should not 
be lien upon any of the property of Charles Hoult, Laura 
J. Hoult and Everett Hoult, and restraining the appellant 
from enforcing the same as to any property then owned 
or which thereafter might be owmed by them; from tliis 
decree an appeal is prosecuted. 

The rights of the parties concerning the matter in 
controversy must be determined by the terms of the 
trust agreement, by which the appellant and all parties 
to the same were legally bound. It is clear from the 



■1 '-idi TSiK'if 



■■, ■,<> la 






terms of this agreement, that the appellant would have 
no right to enforce his judgment, or any lien arising 
therefrom, against the 80 acres of land retained by Char- 
les Hoult and exempted to him; and the decree insofar 
as it exempted this land from the operation of the judg- 
ment was proper. But there is nothing in the trust 
agreement which provides, that the creditors are to take 
a partial payment of their claims in full satisfaction 
thereof; nor that they thereby relinquished any right 
which they legally have to enforce the payment of any 
balance that might be due them, against any after ac- 
quired property of the debtors. We are of opinion 
therefore, that the decree was erorneous insofar as it 
deprived the appellant of the right to enforce the col- 
lection of any balance that might remain due upon his 
judgment against 

Page 4 
any property thereafter acquired by 
the judgment debtors; and that part of the decree must 
therefore be reversed. The decree is affirmed insofar 
as it avoids the operation of a judgment lien against the 
80 acres referred to; and reversed insofar as it prevents 
the appellant in obtaining satisfaction of any balance 
that may remain due on his judgment after his full share, 
in the trust agreement funds is credited thereon, out of 
any after acquired property of the judgment debtors; 
and with directions to reform the decree in accordance 
with the views herein expressed. 

Affirmed in part and reversed in part with direct- 
ions.

James "^. CofFman, AiJ^ellant 

'^ vs. / ■ 

Eugene', Colgan, Mpellee 
Appeal from S^gamon. : 



NIEHAUS, J. 

j^^ This suit was commenced by the appellant, James W. 

CofFman, in the county court of Sangamon County, again- 
st the appellee Eugene Colgan, in assumpsit, to recover 
the sum of $1000.00, which it is alleged by the appellant, 
was due him under an oral contract with the appellee, 
under the terms of which he was to find a coal mine 
property, that was suitable for the appellee's purpose; 
and which he could acquire by purchase. There was a 
trial by jury and after the evidence for the plaintiflF was 
heard and concluded, on motion of the appellee, the 
court directed a verdict for the appellee, and judgment 
was rendered on the verdict. This appeal is prosecuted 
from the judgment. 

The only contention involved in the appeal concerns 
the legal propriety of directing a verdict for the appel- 
lee, which necessarily raises the question, whether there 
was evidence adduced on behalf of the appellant which, 
with all reasonable inferences to be drawn therefrom, 
v/ould have justified the jury in finding a verdict in fav- 
or of appellant's claim. The appellant J. W. Coffman. 
who was a witness in his own behalf testified, on the 
trial concerning the matter in controversy. He stated, 
that he was a real estate dealer; and that he had a con- 
versation with the appellee concerning the matter of the 
com mis- 
Page 1 
sion which he seeks to recover; that in this con- 
versation appellee told him, that he was going to be out 
of his mine at Mt. Olive the first of January following, 
and wanted him to keep a still hunt for a coal mine 
That the appellee said "I don't want anybody at all to 
know much about it; and I will take care of vou if you 
find something. He said "find me the stuff, if you o-et 
.t, and I will do the work, and will pay you for your 
trouble." That thereupon he looked for a mine for the 



.T. .8uah:!!i; 



d:!; .-;(' 



bi,- 



appellee in seven or eight places; that he found a party 
who owned a mine at Pekin; and that the party was Dav- 
id Grant. Grant told him he had a mine to sell; and told 
him what he wanted for it; that he went to Pekin to see 
about Grant's mine; and got Grant to write a letter giv- 
ing the net price of it. This letter he turned over to the 
appellee. That the letter was to the effect that Grant 
would take $40,000 net for the mine; that the appellant 
thereupon told him, he would call his engineer from Mt. 
Olive, and have him go and inspect the mine. He did 
call up the engineer, and told him to go there the next 
day; that the engineer looked the mine over, and spent 
a day there; and reported favorably; that after that, he 
and the appellant and his son Howard and their superin- 
tendent Smithousen, talked over the matter of purchas- 
ing the mine, and that they authorized him to telephone 
and call Mr. Grant and tell him they would accept the 
mine; that he went to a telephone, and called him up, 
and told him, they had accepted the property, and ar- 
ranged with Grant to come to Springfield; and he came; 
that on the day he arrived, appellee had a conversation 
with the appellant and his son, after he had taken Grant 
over to the St. Nicholas Hotel; that this conversation was 
had at appellee's office, and that he first talked over the 
matter of the commission which he claimed he had earn- 
ed, with his son Howard; that he wanted five percent, 
and Howard said. 

Page 2 
that it was too much; Howard thereupon 
called up the appellant, his father, to talk with him 
about the matter, and turned around and said, father 
said $1000.00 is enough, and he is perfectly willing to pay 
you $1000.00 for this proposition; that thereupon he 
went to the hotel, and got Grant, and brought him to the 
Colgan office, where a contract was made by the appel- 
lee for the purchase of the mine in question, and $500.00 
was paid to Grant on the purchase price of the mine. 

We are of opinion that this testimony standing in 
the record as it does, uncontradicated, justifies the inter- 
ence that the appellant had performed the service for 
which under his contract he was to render, and for which 
the appellee was to renumerate him, namely, to find a 
mine that suited him and which he could purchase; and 



that the parties had in effect agreed upon the amount 
which the appellant was entitled to receive for his ser- 
vice, namely, $1000.00. In this state of the proof, which 
made a prima facie case for appellant, it was erroneous 
to direct a verdict for the appellee. The judgment is 
therefore reversed and the cause remanded. 
Reversed and Remanded.

Cassan^-a B. Hartfoi^ Appellant 

I vs 



Lester |\.. McM^ers, Appellee 
Appeal from iCouri^ Court of Champaign 
NIEHAUS, J. ' ^"^ 

This suit was brought by Cassandra B. Hartford, the 
appellant, to recover rent for the use and occupation of 
a garage situated on her property which had been oc- 
cupied and used by the appellee Lester A. McMasters, 
for a period of 32 months, from Sept. 1, 1917 to April 
30, 1920. The suit was commenced before a justice of 
the peace, and on appeal, was tried in the county court 
of Champaign county. The trial resulted in a verdict 
in favor of the appellee. The appellant made a motion 
to set aside the verdict and for new trial; but the court 
denied the motion and rendered judgment on the ver- 
dict. An appeal is now prosecuted from the judgment. 
The ewklcnce shows, that the garage in question, is sit- 
uated on a lot in Urbana, owned by the appellant, and 
known as 406 South Co:er Avenue; and this lot adjoins 
the premises known as 610 West Elm street, owned by 
appellant's husband, Dr. William S Hartford. There is 
no controversy in the case concerL.ng the fact, that the 
appellee oecupeid, and used the garage in question for 
the period of time, for which rent is claimed; and the 
evidence is a^so undisputed, that ths rental value for 
this use and occupation would be $2.50 per month. The 
appellee, however, claims that he made a verbal con- 
tract with appellant's husband. Dr. Hartford, from whom 
he purchased the adjoining property referred to, who it 
is insisted 

Page 1 
acted as her agent, in that behalf; and that 
under the verba! contract he had the right to the use of 
the garage rent free, during the time in which the pay- 
ments were being made under his written contract for 
the purchase of the Elm Street property, and until the 
completion of such payments thereon. The verbal 
agreement insisted on, it is contended was made just 
previous to the signing of the written contract for the 
purchase of the Elm street property from Dr. Hartford. 



This verbal agreement as set forth in the testimony of 
the appellee, is based on a conversation had between 
ihe appellee and Dr. Hartford, and is as follows: "I says, 
I have no garage. There is none on my property, I am 
buying from you. I have turned everything I have in 
cash and collateral to you, and I can't afford to build a 
garage and neither can I aiford to rent one. He says, 
'You make use of that garage. Its a double garage, 
keep on using it as the man v>^ho is living in that house 
today is using it.' Under that, I used that garage." As- 
suming that Dr. Hartford used the language testified ta, 
it is apparent that it does not sustain appellees conten- 
tion; and that it does not exempt the appellee from tne 
payment of rent, for the use of the garage; but that it 
has directed reference only to the use of the garage by 
the appellee. The lav/ does not raise any presumption, 
that a use like the one in question should be without 
compensation therefor to the owner, unless this was ex- 
pressly agreed upon; or, unless such an agreement would 
clearly arise, by reasonable inference from the language 
used. And it must also be pointed out, that if this al- 
leged verbal agreement amounted to a right to the use 
of the garage in question on appellant's premises, rent 
free for 32 months, there would be no consideration to 
the appellant, the owner of the premises, for such an 
agreement. In this condition of the record, the agree- 
ment was not a legal defense to the appellant's claim fo" 
the rental value of the garage. 

Page 2 

The verdict of the jury 
was therefore contrary to the law and the evidence; anci 
the court erred in refusing to set it aside and grant a 
new trial; and the judgment is therefore reversed and 
the cause remanded. 

Reversed and remanded.

vs. 

Gaetano Passini Appellant 

Appeal from: Christian. 

NIEHAUS, J. ""^ 

In this case an appeal is prosecuted from a judgment 
for $1126.21 against Gaetano, Passini, appellant, in the 
^' cuit court of Christian County. The case was tried 

without a jury and by the court. The claim of the ap- 
_^ pellee is based upon a written order purporting to have 

^ been signed by Passini for a carload of Black California 

4 Grapes. The order was taken by one of appellee's sales- 

^^ man, named Falco; and returned by Falco to the business 

house of appellee at Chicago. According to the writ- 
ten order turned in by Falco ,the grapes were to be 
shipped to the appellant C. 0. D. to Kincaid, Illinois; and 
were shipped in that way. Wlien the carload of grapes 
arrived at Kincaid, the appellant refused to receive them 
under the C. 0. D. conditions which required payment 
therefor before he could get them, claiming, that he did 
not purchase them in that way. The vital question m 
the case, is whether the written order handed in by Fal- 
co had the signature of the appellant upon it; and this 
question was one of unusual difficulty, because Falco 
was not a witness in the case; and because whatever 
signature had been attached to the written order, had 
been erased from the order, while it was in the custody 
and possession of the appellee, without any explanation 
as to the cause or reason for its erasure. The only wit- 
ness to testify concerning the signature of the appellant 
was George A. CarpeTiter, who was the buying and de- 
partment manager of the appellee. He testified that 
the 

Page 1 

order contained the appellant's signature, when it ' 
was first turned in to the house. But it is clear from 
Carpenter's testimony, that he had no personal know- 
ledge concerning the writing of the appellant; he had 
never seen him write, and had never seen any papers 
containing his signature, which he personally knew was

l.J;!t :-::-r\ 



actually written by Passini. As to his knowledge about 
this matter, he testified: "I know the signature of Gae- 
tano Passini from seeing it. I have a correspondence 
with him, just two or three letters he signed, and from 
that correspondence I am familiar with his signature." 
Passini denied, that he had signed the order, which Fal- 
co had turned in; in the face of this denial by Passini, 
the proof mentioned cannot be regarded as sufficient to 
establish the genuineness of Passini's signature, if there 
was one on the order. And the trial court held, that the 
written order had not been signed by the appellant. 
The court also found, that the contract, which was made 
between the appellant and the appellee was an oral con- 
tract. The evidence, and only evidence, concerning an 
oral contract, is in the testimony of the appellant. Ap- 
pellant testified with reference to this matter as follows: 
"Well Falco was there, and tried to sell me a carload of 
grapes. He said, he would send me in three shipments, 
and said, when you sell the first shipment, you send me 
the money, and I send you the second shipment; and 
when you sell the second shipment, I will send you the 
third one, and you send money. I never ordered any 
grapes from Mr. Falco, where I had to pay for the grapes 
at the time I received them at Kincaid, and take up the 
Bill of Lading. I used to buy from him before that. At 
the time when Mr. Falco was there, I did not order the 
grapes shipped so I would have to pay for them when 
they came." In this state of the proof in the record, 
there is no evidence that the appellant violated 
Page 2 

his contract, 
by refusing to receive the grapes under the conditions 
of the C. 0. D. which the appellee was insisting on, and 
seeking to enforce. The judgment is therefore erron- 
eous; and it is reversed; and the ca-use remanded. 
Reversed and Remanded.

Appeal from ^ristian. 
NIEHAUS. J. \ / 

In this case the First National Bank of Morrison- 
ville, Illinois, appellee, took judgment on the 11th day 
of May, 1921, in the circuit court of Christian county on \^ 

a judgment note, made by D. H. May, and the appellant 

Mary A. May, for $2744.26. Thereafter on the 17th day J 

of May following, the appellant as one of the makers "^^ 

of the note in question filed her motion in the circuit '^'V^ 

court of Christian county to set aside, or open up the \ t 

judgment, and for leave to plead in defense; which mo- 
tion was supported by her own affidavit, and by the af- %2 
fidavit of Anthony May, her husband, who had acted as 1 
her agent in some matters connected with the execution \ 
of the note. The averments in the affidavit of appel- 
lant are to the effect, that the judgment note in ques- 
tion was executed as a note for $600.00; that when she 
signed the note as maker, the words Six Hundred Dol- 
lars were in the note, and that the word Hundred was 
changed to Thousand so as to read Six Thousand Dol- 
lars; that after she signed the note, she gave it to her 
husband Anthony May who, acting as her agent, deliver- 
ed the same to the appellee; and that the note was al- 
tered after its delivery without her knowledge permis- 
sion consent or authority. The affidavits presented a 
prima facie case of material alteration of the note; Kel- 
ler V. State Bank of Rock Island 292 111. 553.

The motion to open up the judgment should there-

motion is therefore reversed, and the cause remandea

Aiigelo Giovamii, Appellant 

^peal h-afn Macoupin. 
NIEHAUS, J. \ ^^ 

In this case George Smith the appellee sued the 
appellant Angelo Giovanni in the circuit court of Macou- 
pin county in trespass. The declaration contains three 
counts and charges in sustance that the plaintiff owned 
certain household furniture and chattel property which 
was in a dwelling house occupied by him; and that the 
defendant forcibly entered the dwelling house and dam- 
aged his household furniture and chattels. There was 
a trial by jury, which resulted in a verdict finding the '^'^, 

defendant guilty and assessing appellee's damages at % *. 

.'f3.50.00. The court required a remittitur of $100.00 

which was entered, and thereuiwn rendered a judgment *j" 

against the appellant for $250.00. An appeal is pros- I 

ecuted from the judgment. f 

The only question argued concems the matter of 
the damages; appellant contends, that the damages al- 
lowed are excessive; and that under the evidence the 
appellee was not entitled to more than nominal damages; 
and therefore, that it is apparent from the amount of 
the verdict, that punitive damages were allowed. We 
cannot agree with this contention. The evidence in the 
record fully sustains a finding of actual damages suffer- 
ed by the appellee to the amount embodied in the judg- 
ment; and the court was fully warranted from the evi- 
dence in rendering judgment therefor. Judgment is 
affirmed. 

Affirmed.

General No. 7420 

October Term 1921 

R. W. Hilmer, Appell^'t 

vs. / 

Bruce Sewing Machine Coofpany, Appellee 

Appeal from gafigamon 

NIEHAUS, J. -,y 

This is a suit in replevin brought by the appellant 
R. W. Hilmer, to recover a piano of which he was the 
owner, and which had been taken by the appellee, Bruce 
Sewing Machine Company, from Concordia College, 
where it had been placed by the appellant under con- 
tract, for the use of students in that institution. The 
appellee claimed it took the piano from the college, un- 
der misapprehension or mistake, thinking it was one ot 
its own pianos. The case was tried in the county court 
of Sangamon county without a jury; and the court found 
the issues for the appellee, and rendered judgment 
against the appellant for costs of suit; also for $25.00 
attorney fees. An appeal is prosecuted from the judg- 
ment. 

It is claimed by the appellee, that the taking of the 
piano was not wrongful, because it took it under a mis- 
take. The taking of the property of another by a per- 
son though by mistake would be a wrongful taking; the 
mistake might be a moral excuse for the taking, but 
would not legalize the taking; and moreover would not 
be a justification for a wrongful detention of the prop- 
erty from the rightful owner after the mistake was dis- 
covered; nor would it be a legal defense to a recovery by 
such owner, of his property. Inasmuch as no motion for 
new trial is incorporated in the Bill of Exceptions, the 
appel- 

Page 1 

lant is not in position to raise any question con. 
cerning the weight or sufficiency of the evidence and we 
must assume that the findings of the court are sustain- 
ed by the evidence. But the findings of the court, as- 
suming them to have been sustained by the evidence, are 
inconsistent with the judgment rendered. The Court 
found that the appellant was the owner of the piano m 
question: also found that the appellant was entitled to

the possession of the piano; and that the defendant nev- 
er had any right to the possession of the same. Under 
these findings the appellant and not the appellee was en- 
titled to judgment. The record does not disclose any 
legal basis for the assessment of costs and an attorney 
fee against the appellant. Judgment is therefore rever- 
sed and the cause remanded, with directions to render 
judgment in favor of the appellant. 

Reversed and remanded with direction.

J. G. Chambers prssantad a petition for 
mandamus to ths Circuit Court of Eouglao Count:/ ^o compel the 
commissioners of Lrainage District No. 1 of the Tovm of Areola 
to repair, rebuild and maintain a bridge over the main ditch 
in said district which passed through the land of the petitioner. 
Judgment by default -.vas entered against the defendants, v.'hich 
'/vas upon motion of the defendants set aside and an answer and 
replication filed. 

The cause was heard by the court and the issue found 
in favor of the drainage commissioners, and an order entered 
denying the right of Chambers in the premises and ordering him 
to pay the costs. From this order Chambers sued out a writ of 
error from this court. 



^ :..!:• 



It is first contended that the trial court erred in 

setting aside the default and allo'.ving the coraiTii 33 i oners to ans- 

a 

wer and make/'dsfenss. The petition for mandamus '.yas filed to the 

October Te^i'*'* 191S,of the said circuit court and the comrrds- 

sioners served with process. iV de^nurrer to the petition wa.s 

filed but no action by the court was had at that term of court. 

At the next term, being the March Term, 1919,af f idavits that 

none of the defendants was under disability/- were filed byuthe 

petitioner and about that time it vvould seem that the attorneys 

representing the respondents and vvho had filed the demurrer to 

the petition for the respondents ended their connection with 

the case and other cotmsel were employed. At said March Teorm, 

192)9, a default was entered against the commiasioners and a peremp- 
tory writ of mandasrius a'.varded. 

The action of the court in setting aside the default 

and allowing a hearing upon the m^erits of the case is now 

challenged by plaintiff in error as "constituting an abuse of 

discretion by the court." This claim, in our judgment, is 

without merit. Suit was begun at the October Term, 1918, 

service had and a demurrer filed 'by the defendants, which was 

left undisposed of during that term.; an amended petition was

filed on December S'tli, 1918, on which no action sesms to have 
bs n had until the following term; at the following tcjrm, March 
1319, the court entered a default against the defendants named 
in the petition and ordered a peremptory writ of mandamus. On 
March 39thj still of the said Iferch tstui, 1919, defendants 
appeared by thsir present attorneys and presented a motion to 
have the default set aside and for leave to ans-'sr the petition 
which motion V7as supported by affidavits setting up a substantial 
defense. Under the circoinstances involved we do not think that any 
good can result from discussing at length the right of the court 
to set aside the default entered and allowing a full defense 
to be made; Under Sec. 58 of our practice Act and the holdings 
of our courts of review under it, such action is wholly within the 
discretion of the trial court and c charts of review can inter- 
fere only when such discretion has heen abused. Under the 
showing made here, the petitioner was subjected to no material 
delay and no substantial ris^ht he had was inpaired by the 

court's setting the default aside. ^."^'e do not think there is 

this 
anything shown in this record to n'arrant tka court in saying 

that the trial court abused its discretion^ in fact it would 

seem that the action of the trial court in trhis respect ws-s 

eminently fair and proper.

Upon the hearing of the claim of th^ petitioners to 
have a bridge across the ditch upon his premises built and 
maintained by the drainage comraissioners, the claim was made 
upon the part of the corajiiissi oners th£.t v;hen the ditch v/as dug 
across the premises of petitioner in the year of 13QG the lands 
through v;hich the ditch passed, and now involved, ware owned by 
one C. C. Wood, a remote grantor of plaintiff in error, and 
that said VJood agreed with the then acting drainage commission- 
ers that he would not ask for a bridge across the ditch to be 
built at the expense of the district, if his landa in the 
district should be classified at zero; that in th-tt event he 
would not be assessed to pay any tax in said district and in 
turn he vTOuld not ask the comiaissi oners to construct a bridge 
on these landsj that the corrir-issi oners in pt;rsuancd of said 
arrangement had never extended any ta,x upon the lands involved 
and that no bridge was ever built or maintained by the commis- 

s 

sioners upnn said lands. 

The drainage corrmis si oners also claimed upon the trial 

that even if the plaintiff Ih error ever had any right to demand 

a bridge, his right to do so was barred by the statute of limita- 
tions. This was the view, seemingly, adopted by the trial

court. The coinniiss loners filed an ansv^er ssttinp; up the stat- 
ute of limitations to ivhich plaintiff in error filed a repli- 
cation; thus an issue of fact was made for the trial court 
tc hear and determine. Considerable evidence was heard upon 
this subject which v.'as conflicting in nature, •vhioh the trial 
court was called upon to weigh. This issue of fact the trial 
court determined in favor of the defendants in error and in 
our judgment there v;a3 no error in such holding. 

In a proceeding by ciandamus the petitioner is bound 
to establish his right b3'' such evidence as will make a clear 
case. A rela^tor C5i,nnot demand a writ of mandamus as a writ 

of right. The granting of the writ lA discretlonaiy iTith the 

the 
court in view of all/existing facts and with due regard to 

the consequences v;hich v/111 result. People v. City of R. I.,

There is no sufficient showing made in this case to 

I 

warrent this court in determining that the trial court was in 

error in holding that the relator had not established his case 

by such evidence as made a clsar case. The judgment of the 

circuit court is affirmed.

The facts in evidence are pr«ctically undiBputed. 
The defendant William faddell vas In posBeasion of the preailBts 
through the other defendants, who were his tenants froa month 
to month, and demand for pos bobs ion was made upon all of them. 
The title to the premises v»a originally in James L, Clay and 
Sarah .?., Clay, By a deed dated June 1, 1916, and recorded June 
5, 1916, they (James L, end ^arah) purported to convey the 
premises in question to one Mward Clay, Jr« Thereafter on 
i^gust 9, 1916, a judgment hy confession «as entered in the 
Circuit Court of Cook Coumty, in favor of Seva A. I>effler end 
against said Jaates L. Oli^ sad ^arah ii. Clay for the sum of 
#5,306,66, 

Bdward Clay sold the property to the defendant Vaddell, 
There seems to he seme obscurity ae to the exact date, hut he 
made an initial payment of $2O0 en the parohasie price, ?7hich was 
$3150, and also took possession. Other payments were thereafter 
made and an instrument purporting to he a deed from Sdimrd Clay 
to William f^ad!ell was recorded in the recorder's office of Cook 
County on Migust 2S, 1916, On Hovember 2, 1916, a creditor's 
hill was filed hy complainant in the ^perior Court of Cook 
County^ nhidn bill was based upon the Judgnent of /.ugust 9tho 
^he made defendants thereto said James L. Clay, -^exsh K, Clay 
and Edward Clay, Jr, A decree was entered on March 18, 1918, hy 
which the deed frtua Jaaee L, Clay and '^arah ii« '^lay to JMward 
Clay was set aside, and it was further directed that the premises 
should he sold and execution issue on the judgment against James 
L. and ;^arah , Clay, The premises were sold under the 
execution, and the sheriff's deed was issued to the appellant, 

ThB decree upon the creditor's bill does not refer 
to the pui^rted deed to William Vaddell, nor does it &sevam 



to pasa upon his rlchts or the rights of defendant* s tenanta 

holding under hia» 

The plaintiff objected to the introduction in evidenoo 

of the purported deed from Bdward Clay, Jr« to lllisa %ddellp 

but as the oTldenee aho^rs that v^ddell was in poseeeiilon prior 

to the filing of the creditor's bill under a contract of pur* 

we think 
chase en which he had nade subataatlal paptents^this was iai« 

aateriale 

The appeliisuit insists that upon introducing in 
eridenee the judgment and the decree and shoving a jsale there* 
under « and that the time for redemption from such &ale had 
expired, and thst demand in writing for possesQion vue made upon 
the defendants and that tho^ had refused to surrender tho 
premises, a prima fade case whs made out under the statute « 
To 80 construe the statute vould require th;}t ve disregard the 
meaning of the phrase "or party to such judgment or decree.* 
As ve read the statute tlK demand is unavailing unless tho 
party vpon whom the demand is made is a party to V&e judgment 
or decree, othertrise, as appellee points out, the effect of the 
statute would be to make it possible th&t a peraon might be 
disposseseed of any land belonging to him, although there had 
been no proceeding by which the rights of the parties had 
been adjudicated « 

Appellant says that if Sdwsrd Clay, Jr* hnd been 
in possession of the premises during this equitable proceeding, 
waA had remained in poesesBion after the sale of the premises, 
he ccwld have been ousted therefrom in this motion, and that 
the defendant Waddell and those holding under him sttnd in the 
shoes of Edward Clay, Jr«, and ere in no better or more 
faTorable position than he would be if he were himself the 
party defendant, ^e do not think that this contention can be 
sustained for the reason that when James L. Clay and Baxeh S»

T«rdiet of a ^ury for |14l^,63 in favAr of the plaintiffs in

which def eniact cleined were not Bi{i4e in m. wo r lOBftnlike mnnnAr« 

vhereby it vrasi ooatpclXed to hsiTe the s^se e(aipl«ted at an expense

only one* nam@ly, error in giving plaintiffs* int^truciion Ho. !3, 

t^ieh reads as followS|: 

•The court instructs you that even though you 
nay believe fren the eridenee that the plaintiff 
did not eonplete nil the i«rork tki^t the defendant 
desired s&id plaintiff to complete, yrt said 
plaintiff ie entitled to recover for the reticionatolo 
value of the aersices and the siaterial so furnished 
by the plaintiff and used by the defendant." 

This is ft aandatory instruction to the effect that upon 

the one condition stated plaintiffs were entitled to recover r for 

wxtta serriees and material, re^Drdlees of proof precentt^d to the 

jury upon issues going to the defendant's right of recoupoKynt* 

It therefore ignored the defenso t):R& erroneously directed a 

verdict without »^ reference to such iRaues, (tardridge v. 

Cutler . 168 111, 504; Mooncy v . City of Chicago. 239 111, 414,

cannot bo euppleaented or cured by any other, (Cant^eli v. Hard in g>

App«iiAnt« / } 

KK, JU3TICI M0RRI3-L DSLlVma© THS OPIRIOi> Of THS COUKT. 

This is nn action of ttituuBpait brought by opiollee to 
reooYcr eeBursioelons clalmod to be dtuo hin for socuring cuvtonoro 
for the purchase of certain real estate beIonc;lng to oppellant* 
Th« dsel&ration indicates thett plaintiff's claim waa bnpod 
originally upon aevernl transactions* only one of whieh la 
involTod in thla appeal, which ia fron a Judgment upon a Terdlct 
for $480 in favey ©f plaintiff. Ap;«llant urges a reversal for 
the reason thi^t the ^udi^^ent ie contrary to the law and the 
•▼Idenoe and on arcount of o,lleg«d errors of the tritil court in 
glYlng »nd refusing iastmctionfi* an«i in rulings upon evidence. 

The evldenee »h09S th^t appellant nvna the Iruilder 
and owner of several hnusea in the village of silaiettea one of 
which he sold to appellee In i;%reh, 19:^* On or »bni)t the dnte 
nf thla sale there were several conv^re^itionB between the ptirties 
with reference to the »ale of the r<nEnaining houses sjid enlisting 
tte aervioes of ap:>elloe in obtaining; nusitomers therefor, as a 
result of these negotiritiona appellee referred ftp^«llnnt to one 
Gu»tav» C, K'irtin hs ei poaeible purchaser. Thereafter appellant 
entered into a "written agreonent with U«rtin for the sale ta him 
of one of the houses. It is rtdsiltted that aprellant w&a brought 
into oeataet with Kartin thrmtgh the efforts of appellee, who had 
«andry interviews vith Kartin and wi-Ui appellant upon the subject 



r^

i i. is l(^;jr.; 



prior to the execution of th« agreuaent. The agreement in 'lueation 
was prepared by appellee. It vmm dntcd Uiny 2X, 19P0, and in sub- 
• t&nce provif]ed for the eale hj Appellnat to Un^rtin of a certain 
bouee in -vtlmette for the sum of $16,000. Appei:^ant a--^yK. t.h^^t the 
prlM was reduced to that finrure from $16,500 by reuson of the 
aoBuranto given by ntp{3«llee that. lUrartin would pay for the eaire In 
eaah. There wsa an existing cnoujnbr?ince upon th«f previses of 
I6S0C, whloh the puroh^i^er agreed to assumo Ha paxt of the puroh&ae 
price* The oontraot recited that the purchaser h»d paid 35,0OC 
ae eazTieat money to be applied on the purchase vhen coneunrated^ 
*nd agreed to ^>ay vlthin five daye after the title hnd been examined 
maA found goot or aceeptftd by him the further sua of $46oc after the 
eempletien of tbe premiaoB and upon delivery of a good and aufficient 
general wsrrenty deed eonirey&nR to the purchwser good title to the 
premiaee, Xt appears from the further r«oital8 of the contract 
that cnadry work on the buildini; remained to be done by the Tender 
before the vendee would be required to mate the further payment of 

|4»ee« 

The record further shove that Kartin at «»li timeo oontem* 
plated the payment of the purch^ne price, with the exception of t>)e 
mortgage assumed, by the delivery to apT'^llant of certain oil stock 
at the pF-r v»lue thereof of |9 per ahare. He tef^tifiea that hi 
acquired this understanding by reason of repreaentations made to 
him by appellee. Xt is apparent that there were ewae negotirtiono 
regarding this meth&d of payment, un appellant ..ccepted th« stock 
in satisfaction of the first pn^^ent of @5,000 mentioned in the 
contract relying, ao he aaaeris, upon the assuranctt of appellee that 
ho would aelithe »toek for appellant within a fcx dnya. The con-

Satarday, July 27, 1919, which wifis after the eontrt^ot had been

^lently, even if it bo adiiitt«'3 that plaintiff *s ealesnan aado

warranty thai tho paint in TEueation would oov<»r three or four

Jones, J* 

The plaintiffs in ei'ror, ^tiz. iiali: and Chtirloe xBpaangea were 
oonvicted in the Oounty ^^ourt of J^ke County upon an information 
containing aix count a. The fix-at count oh&rgod xjH illegal inur chase 
of intoxioatiiig liquors. The trdrd count chargod unla»vful troiis- 
sortation of intoxicating liquors and tho fifth oomxt charged tiiat 
the defendants did unlawfully c.:us9 Intczioatirig liqiiors tc be 
transported. 

Before entering upon tha trial, a action was ;ijado t^ the 
plaintiffs in error to quash the Tanir© for a Jury on the grcfund 
that it was not isujuaoned as provided in Section 110 of the"Court8"

was ordered issued on ths 28th da^r of .pril. The Inforrcation in 
this case, howovsr, was not filed until :.lsy 7, 1921. xhe defendants 
were arraigned and pleaded not guilty. Upon th.' call of the case 
for trial on ilay 10th, tha court ordered a special venire to fill 
tho panel directed to the sheriff of tho cotinty. Section 110 of 
the said Act provides that juries in the County ^ourt shi-ill be drawn 
and swoaioned in the same cianiier as provided for the drawirig- and 
BUEQiiiOnlng of juries in the circuit court, unless otherwise ordered

latter manner. It is oontended that since the information in 
this case was not filed until 1/iay 7th neither of the parties could 
have called for a jury on the first day of the term nor could they 
have done so on April 28th and that unless one of the parties call- 
ed for a jury the panel was not legally ordered. It is also contend- 
ed that the venire ought to have been quashed on defendants' motion 
"because a part of the jurors were summoned "by the sheriff who was a 
witness on "behalf of the People. Unon hearing the motion the court 
overruled it but announced that any juror stunmoned "by the sheriff 
would "be excused at the instance of the defendants, if challenged. 
Plaintiffs in error did not avail themselves of such offer nor 
make any effort to do so, "but proceeded to the selection of a jury 
from the empaneled jurors. They can not now complain of the pre- 
judice or interest of the sheriff. 

If there was a necessity for a jury at the ..pril term, the 
jurors should have "beeri obtained under the provisions of Section 
110 of the act entitled "Courts". When it appeared that no jurors 
had been drawn from the box the court should have ascertained on 
the first day of the term if there were any cases for jury trial 
and if there were any, a venire should have thereupon been ordered. 
When a panel is thus obtained it may be retained for the trial of 
all oases at that term. If any vacancies shall occur in the panel 
the court may order the sheriff to fill the same with talesmen. 
In this case the court did not on the first day of the term order 

a venire to issue but did so on a later day. This was irregular 

it 
"but is not such a departure that/will render the venire invalid 

when challenged. The court had an undoubted right to subsequently 

order talesmen summoned to fill vacancies. 

The evidence in this ease shov/s that the plaintiffs in error 

and three other men v/ere with a big motor truck on the night of 

May 6th, 1921 about three miles from Grays Lake in Lake County, 

Illinois. The truck was unable to move because the rear end was 

off the hard road and into a ditch. There was in the truck and 

along the road beside it 124 cases of liquor, a portion of which

was afterwards analyzed by a ohemist and tested 3.02 per cent 
alcohol by volume. An officer came along and arrested the de- 
fendants and took possession of the liquor. The evidence farther 
sh07/s that the plaintiff in error, Salk, adciitted to certain wit- 
nesses that he was "the boss of the stuff" and that he v/as the 
owner thereof. At the time the officer came to where the truck 
was located as above described, I'appengea and another man were 
sitting in the seat of the truck and the witiiess, Attridge testi- 
fied that Pappengea told him the liquor was good beer. One of the 
defendants at the time the officer came upon them stated in the 
presence of the others that they v/ere taking the load to Fox Lake. 

Pappengea was found guilty by the j'ury under the third coujit 
which charged unlawful transportation of intoxicating liquors and 
judgment was entered against him th; t he pay a fine of t-lOO and be 
confined in the county jail for twenty days. We believe the evi- 
dence in the ease warranted the finding of the jury and the judgment 
of the cotirt as to Pappengea. 

Plaintiff in error, Salk, was found guilty by the jury under 
the first count, charging an unlawful purchase of intoxicating 
liquors and also under the fifth count charging that he unlawfully 
caused intoxicating liquors to be transported. There is not a 
particle of evidence in the record tending to show that say of the 
liquor was purchased by Salk or anyone else. Ifo effort was made 
to show a purchase. We express no opinion as to how he obtained 
it or how he came into possession of it or whether or not he was 
the owner of it. Outside of fch alleged admission claimed to have 
been made by him there is no proof that he was the owner of it. 
In this case the first count should not have been submitted to the 
jury because there was no evidence in the case tending to show the 
guilt of any of the defendants under that count. 

Inasmuch as the judgment of conviction entered against Salk 
was under the first count as well as the fifth, the entire judgment 
against him must be reversed. The Supreme Court of this State in 
People vs. Gaul, S33 111. 630, has said that "The judgment of the 
county court, although based upon different coujits of the inforii^ation

vs. ^-ppoal from Winnebago 

Hocfcford Chamber of Commerce, 
et al. , 

appellees , 

Jones, J. 

The appellant, Samaelson, who was the ylainuiff below, sued the 
Hockford Chamber of Commerce and others in assumpsit under a written 
contract of leasing of 193 acres of land to be used by the United 
States Government in building Gamp Grant. The declaration avers 
that the defendants agreed to pay for damages to the crops of the 
plaintiff by the United States Government. There were tv/o instru- 
ments, set up in the declaration and introduced in evidence, alleged 
to be papers relating to a sir^le contract. The first of them known 
as "Plaintiff's Exhibit 1" provides for a leasing of the premises 

by the plaintiff to C. A. Dickinson, trustee for the Rockford Chamber 

• 

of Commerce or his assignee to be used for a training camp or can- 
tonment purposes with the right to reinove buildings and improvements. 
It further provides, "Second party to pay an annual rent of $£0.00 
per acre payable semi-annually beginning Jan. 1, 1918 amd every six 
months thereafter (|5.00 per acre per year for tbe first year shall 
be deducted from said first year's rent and placed in the hands of 
3» K. Burpee and applied to crop damages as per aeoarate contract 
with the Hock ford Chamber of Commerce) such rent shall be consider- 
ed as beginning to run on Llaroh 1, 191^, and the rental year shall 
terminate with IJarch 1st of each succeeding year". The second in- 
strument known as "Plaintiff's Exhibit 3" is dated June 23, 1917 
and is as follows. 

"In consideration of the Hockford Chamber of Commerce of Hock- 
ford, Illinois subscribing and paying the sum of t.26,000o00 for dam- 
ages to crops of the undersigned, the undersigned hereby agrees to

was unatle to state whether it was for a part or all of the preicises. 
He offered teatimon?/ to show that there v/as an excellent crop of 
corn on 58 acres of the land and that it stood in the field u:itil 
December. He did not harvest any of the crops and thf purpose of 
his suit is to recover the value thereof from tha Charrber of Commerce. 
At th3 close of the plaintiff's case the defendants moved the court 
to insti-uot the jury to find for the defendants and tendered a per- 
emptory instruction therefor which motion was denied. The court in- 
dicated that there was no evidence that the plaintiff had been pre- 
vented by the (government from harvesting his corn, potatoes and some 
grass but that there was some evidence tending to show that the plain- 
tiff was deprived by the G-ovemment of the "benefit of the crop on a 
small piece of land near the buildings. TJoon motion the oourt ex- 
cluded all evidence relating to other damages from the jury and 
limited the plaintiff's right of recovery to $7 5,00, being the anount 
of damages the plaintiff himself h;ad fixed for the loss of tho crops 
on the small piece of land near the buildings. 

When the trial court had indicated its views of the case under 
the evidence in the latter part of the day, the plaintiff reqfuested 
the court to grant him until the next morning to produce witnesses 
to prove that the govei'nment had taken possession of the entire 
farm on or about September 15, 1917 and that plaintiff was not 
thereafter permitted to go on it or to remove anything therefrom 
and asked the court to adjourn until the next morning. He also 
offered to prove that some committee had appraised his damsges at 
f 1,845. 00 and had tendered him a check for that amount which he had 
refused. This tender was not made by the defendants or any of them 
ajid was apparently made under the supposition that the plaintiff 
himself was a paity to the original of iibchibit 3. The court, in 
the exercise of its discretion, refused the plaintiff's request 
to postpone the trial until the next morning to enable plaintiff 
to secure additional evidence. The defendants offered no eviaence. - 
The jury returned a verdict fixing the plaintiff's damages at 
|'75.00 and the cotu-t entered judgment on the verdict after over-

ruling the plaintiff's motiori for a nev/ trial in supnort of v/hich 
the plaintiff filed numiserotis affidavits setti:.g up the additional 
evidence he would offer in case a new trial be awarded. 

It is the contention of the appellant, Samuelscn, that "lixhihit 
3 should he deec-ed a part of his ccntriict and read into it. '^'e 
■are uiiahle to agree with this contention. It is evidanci' fj.'oui the 
record that the so-called Hockford Chamher of CJororaerce, a civic 
body of the City of Sockford, was, through enterprise and public 
spirit, endeavoring to obtain a site for the cantonment known as 
Camp Grant which wats afterwards located there. Ae a means to 
securing the necessary leases from farmers, meetings were held be- 
tween them and certain members of the Rockford Chamber of Co!nir.erce, 
as a result of which a fund was created. To this fund the Ghaicber 
of Commerce contributed the sudi of t25»000 to toe used in paying 
crop damages to the owners of farms who signed the original agree- 
ment, a copy of which, (except that it omits the nr-mes of the 
farmers vi?ho signed) is known in this case ys "Exhibit 3". .\r- exam- 
ination of this Exhibit vvill disclose that none of the fund created 
under the terms of the agreement was tc be paid to anyone except to 
the owners of land who signed the. agreement. The original agreement 
was not offered in evidence but it is admitted by appellant that 
he did not sign it. 3uch being the case, he was net a p^rty to 
it and could claim no benefit under it. neither ctu^ he rightfully 
contend that it should be read into and made a p?irt of hi3 lease. 

The fact that |5.00 per acre was taken from his first year's rental 

v; as 
and placed in the fund which/created under"Exhibit 3", does not 

convince us that he should be entitled to any benefits from that 

fund. Under the plain terms of his lease, the rental he was to 

receive was fixed and definite. The means axid methods employed by 

the Chanier of Commerce in creating the fund tc secure leases from 

others, is of no concern to appellant. Unless "Exhibit 3" osr. be 

made a part of the contract between the aopellant and the Rockford 

Chamber of Commerce and those acting for it, appellant can claim 

nothirjg from appellees because of the alleged conversion and 

destruction of his crops.

there has lieen an abuse of discretion in this case. The trial judge 

knor.s better than anyone else the condition of his docket, the 
exigencies of the sixuation, the necet^sity for the eX;ieditious 
haiidliug of business, the ;)rcpri9ty of coitiimJ itg or I'ostooning 
cases and of Biaxiy other uattors and things coiuiected vlth the pro- 
gress and detexv.ination cf litigation. In the case et bar it inay 
have appeared to the trial judge and no doubt did appear to him 
that appellant should have had v/itnesses present in apt tli^ to 
prove sush sin important and Ln.terial fact in the case as that the 
GfOyarjiffient had taken possession of appellant's fsriu aiod the crops 
gro'vvino; thereon. To close his case without making such proof, and 
thijn to asl: the court to re -open it and pextnit him t^ have the case 
postponed until the nest day, in order to produce witnesses, was to 
laalce a request Uiider oircuinstances vViiioh the trisl court might 
very reasonably refuse, 

'J'he motion for a new trial v;a& properly denied becaiise there 
Y/as no material error in the trial and because the matters v/hich 
appellent claimed he could prove en another trial were not nev/ly 
discovered evidence but were the things which causeA appellant 
to request the court to postpone the case until he eoTild produce 
the proof of them. 

The appellees have assig^'ned cross-error becaiise the court enter- 
ed judgtaent for |'75,00 against theii. Under our vieiv of the case, 
appellant had no right cf recovery against appellees. But irasioich 
as appellees state in their brief tha.t they do not ask the cape to 
"be revsrsed becai^se of such cross-error and that they orefer to 
pay the judgiXsnt rather than to have the litigation extended, the 
judgment is, therefore, afiimiod. 

Judgsem; affirmed.

William Kavanatigh, Appellant, *'^- ? ^* "^^ A a 6 4 O 

vs. Appeal from Will 
Mary A. Kahler, Appellee, 



Jones, J. 

The appellant, Williao Kavanaugh, instituted this suit in 
assumpsit against the appellee, Mary A. Kahler, to recover |)5,000 
paid to her "by him under a real estate contract between there. 
The cause was heard by the court without a jury, the jury hairing 
teen waived hy agreement of i.jarties. The court found the issues 
in favor of the defendant and this appeal is from a judgment of 
the trial court upon such findings. Kavanaugh was a tenant farmer 
and on August 26th, 1919, he entered into a written agreement with 
Mary -i. Xahler whereby, he agreed to buy and she agreed to sell 
two adjoining farms v/ith separate improvements, for the sum of 
$50,000. Zavanaugh made a cash piyment of |5,000 and was to pay 
the "balance of |45,000 on March 1st, 1920. Upon which date Mrs. 
Eahler was to convey the farms to him b^ warranty deed in fee 
simple, clear of all encumbrances. 

The contract contained the following provision:- "Said party 
of the first part farther covenants and c.grees that she will ivithin 
forty days of this date deliver to the jarty of the second part an 
abstract of title, showing merchantable title in the party of the \ 
first part or in the party of the first part and her various childr 
ren. Said party of the second part shall be allowed fifteen days 
after receipt of said abstract within which to have said abstract 
examined and in the event that any material objections are made 
to the title as aforesaid; the said party of the first part 
covenants and agrees that she will without an^^ unnecessary delay, 
take such steps as may be necessary to remove said objections." 
The contract also contains the following provision:- "And incase 
of failure of said party of the second part to make either of the 
payments of any part thereof, or perform any covenants on hia part

i:?urin£- tho Fall of 1919, upiXjllfrnt went upon the pror-.ieeH und 
did some plowing- and othor \vork. Tho abstract of title was not 
prepared and dolivored to him v/ithin tho forty days specified \ij 
the contract, but on October c3, 191t it waa delivered by the 
abstractor to the atto may who had drawn tho cortract for the 
parties. The uttomoy testified thi.t socie days afterward ho 
notified Kavanau^ that the abetraot was at hia office arid was 
InfonSiOd by K&vanaugh that he would let him knov.' l;jter what to do 
with it. Kavanauph did not give th- natter further attenticn until 
he rocsiTed notice from lirs. Kahler that he should have the abstract 
examins d so that if there were an^; ob^sctio.ns sho would have aiiple 
tifiiS to cure them. Kavansug^h got the distract froa her about 
ohrietiKiS 1919 and made no objections whtitever tc the fact that it 
was not delivered to hia within forty days fron the dato of the 
contract. Hae seems to hay© -.ittach.d veiy littlo importaice to the 
abstract, . He was not at all certain at: to whom hs ?/ould take it 
for exairdnatlon. Ho aeemod inclined to tako it to a jiistice of 
the |)oaoe. Afterwards, howevvr, h .^ tooi: it to a firm of attorneys 
who oxaMned it and pointed out soffie ob sections including the 
existence of three unreleaaed Kiortgagos. 'mo of the ifiOrtfBfres were 
valid liens pn the prendseB and the third Wus probably barred hy 
the Statute of Limitations Ecarjy years ago. These i:.ortf?ages were 
aftersyards released of record uoA such releases were shown by an 
extension to the j batraet dated February 17th, 19L0. I'o forrwil 
list of objections to the title wer ever ijiven to appellee or to 
any one for her but on February 20th, 1920, just ai?ht days before 
the final payment vvoiild become due, appellant called on appellee

the matter and he replied in substance th&t he did not know and 
that he was advised "by his lav/yers not to talk. Mrs. Kahler testi- 
fied that she never inew until the time of the trial what object- 
ions v;ere isade to the title "by Kavansagh. 

On February 26th, 1920, Mrs. Kahler notified Xavanaugh in 
writing that she would leave for him at the Joliet Trust & Savings 
Bank of Joliet, Illinois, on ioarch 1st, 1920, a warranty deed 
oonveying to him the farms in question with instmctions to the 
hank to deliver the deed to him upon receipt of |45,000 in cash. 
The notice further stated that thereupon Zavanaugh Ljight have 
immediate possession of the premises. On Jehruary 28th, Kavanaugh 
wrote to Mrs. Kahler stating that the abstract dated October 4th, 
1919, purporting to show the title to the property described in the 
contract, does not comply with the terms of said contract and that, 
therefore, he demanded the return of the sunj of ^5,000 which he had 
paid thereunder and further that he claimed the right to cultivate, 
harvest and sell the wheat planted by him on said oreaises. 

Kavanaugh did not call at the Bank for the deed nor did he iiay 
the balance due on the purchase price or any part thereof. On 
March 15, 1920, Mrs. Kahler notified Kavanaugh in y/riting that 
"because of his failure to make such p^^msnt she had elected to for- 
feit and determine the contract and to retain the payment of the 
sum of |5,000 made by Kavanaugh thereunder. She further stated 
in aaid letter to Kavanaugh that she was re^dy to remedy any 
material objection to the title to the premises, if an;>' there be, 
and she also offered to sell to him either of the two farms at 
approximately the same price per acre as the original contract, 
called for. It does not appear from the evidence that Kavanaugh 
ever mad« any reply to said notice and proposition. ■ i 

Prior to the date appellant returned the abstract to appellee, 
he had endeavored to borrow from various individuals enough money 
to pay the balance due under the contract. His efforts were un- 
successful. Depression in the financial situation had set in 
after the war. Money was more difficult to obtain and it is 
evidenc^ from the facts disclosed by the record in this case that

tha duty of tho appellee to deliver to appellant -a.ii abstract of

Thoy contoud that the abstract did not shov; a .--erohantab] o title 
at thvit time or in faot at .my time, 'bocause of the objeotiona 
which were shown on the trial. They aloo contend tk t inasiruch 
as a merchantable title was not shov.n by the afcetract, appellee

out to hei' the speoifio ot Sections it would "be im^joseible for 

appellee to remove them. Under the contract she had a ripht to 

know what they vera a d to hive reasonahle opportunity to ciu-e them. 

appellant 
It was the duty of mppw iii Ht K under the contract to oake knov.n his 

objections and he had no right to terminate the contract aad demand 

the return of his payment ujitil he had mads them knovm and had 

given sufficient time to the appellee in which she might remove them. 

The evidence shows conclusively that appellee offered to comply with 

vrerj condition of the contract imposed upon her and thixt if she 

had "been given a reasonahip. opportanity by the appellant to dc so, 

she would have fiilly complied with its terms. It further shows 

that the appellant, hecause of his inability to procure the money 

with which to complete his purchase, could not comply with the 

terms* of the contract which were imposed upon him. Therefore, 

under the express agreement of the parties to the contract, appellee 

had a right to declare the contract forfeited and to retain the 

money paid to her. The judgment of the trial court is therefore 

affinned.

This is an aijpeal frosi a doorae of the circuit court of

aro real ostato agents or ■brt)kera, for i 300,00 and coata of suit. 
The original bill alleged that appellee, .iwift viaa in joasession

to purohiiSo ths amao; that iio listed the proTwrty for sale on a

The court found thtit Swift listed the property with appellants 
at a net sun. to hirn of ijv4500o00 Tout that while appellants were 
acting as agents for Swift they sold the premises to V.alter Hall 
for |;5000,00 and had accounted to appellee on a "basis of C'4500«00; 
that they should liave accounted for the full sum cf -^SOOOoOO less 
a reasonably comiEis si on v-hich the court fixed at C:200.i'G, leaving 
a balance of t>300»00 still due to Swift. 

It is a well dettled rale of law thtit an (X.rer cf i-et-T estate 
may employ brokers under an agreement that the owner is to receive 
a certain amount- net for his property and that the brokers may 
have as their compensation whatever they may realize over and 
above the net price to the owner. (Carter vs. Love, 205 111. 310; 
O'Neil vs. Sinclair, 54 111. xi.pp. 278.) But unless the agreement 
provides that the brokers may retain all they receive in exesss of 
the price fixed by the owner, they must account to the owner for 
such excess and then look to their reasonable commissions for 
compensation. (Curfoot vs. Heiman, 62 111. 512; Carter vs. Love, 
Supra.) It therefore is necessary for us to scrutinize the facts 
in this case in order to determine the questions involved. 

The chancellor was unquestionably right in his finding that 
the owner had listed his property with the appellants at a price 
of $4500.00 net to him. Then if there was no agreement between 
the parties in reference to the excess of sale price over •■4500.00, 
the brokers must account for such excess. If it was the agreement 
that they should receive such excess as their commissions, then 
they are entitled to the same. 

The testimony offered on behalf of the appellants tends 
strongly to show that Swift had said he did not care how much 
appellants realized for the place over the net price to him and 
appellee does not deny that he made such a statement. The proof 
further shoi'.'S that after the property had been listed for sale 
with appellants, Stokburger v/eiit to see Swift 'where the latter 
was employed and asked for a ten days exclusive agency. Swift

declined to give it whereupon otokbnrger offered Swift a check 
for C'200#00 and told him he would take the place himself and asked 
Swift to sign a contract, owift declined to accept the check or 
to sign the contract hut, met Stokhurger that iiight at the office 
of Swift's attorney, H. J. Camiell. Here Swift told Cannell that 
he had sold the premises to Stokhui-ger and he then assigned his 
agreement to piirchase to Stokhurger in hlank. He also accepted 
Stoktiurger' 3 check for $200o00 and afterwards cashed the same. 
At the same time Cannell iLade a memorandum showing the amount of 
indehtedness against the premises and deducted it from the sum 
of $4500»00e There was also deducted sr20.00 as rent which was 
allowed to Stokhurger because Swift desired to retain possession 
of the premises for thirty days after that time. One or two other 
very small items were also deducted leaving a balance of $1751.26, 
From this sum was deducted the v200e00 which had been paid by 
Stokburger to Swift through the aforesaid check, thus making a 
net balance due to Swift of $1551.26. This memorandum was pinned 
to the agreement to purchase which had been signed in blajik by 
Swift and v;as then kept by Cannell. This meeting at Cannell 's 
office was on May 18th, 1920. 

Two or three days prior to June 26th, 1920, Stokburger called 
the attention of Vvalter Hall to the premises. Hall had never 
knov/n of them before. A deal was then made between Stokburger 
and Hall whereby the latter purchased the premises from Stokburger 
for $5000oOO on June 26th, 1920. On the same day Stokburger went 
to the office of Cannell and there paid to hira as attorney for 
Swift the said sum of |1561.26 and took up the contract., Hall's 
name was inserted in the blank left for the name of the assignee 
in Swift's agreement to purchase and Hall did in fact become 
the purchaser of the premises. 

There is very little controversy about any of the facts above 
set forth. They lead us to the conclusion that the appellants 
"became the purchasers of Sv.lft's interest in the premises for 
themselves on May 18th, 1920 at a net price fixed by Svdft; that

they afterwards sold to Hall for an advanced price and as a matter 
of course they were entitled to whatever profits were realized 
from the transaction. However, even if appellants did not be- 
come the purchaser of Sv/ift's intexest in the premises, we think 
that under their agreement with Swift they were entitled to retain 
all they received over S::4500.00. Vr'e "believe this conclusion is 
irresistible from the facts v/hich took place at Cannel's office. 
Every circumstance which occurred there indicates an intention 
upon Swift's part to permit appelli.nts to retain all they received 
in escess of the net price. 

In view of what we have said vie find that under the terms of 
thj contract between appellee and appellants, the latter were to 
receive as their .commission for selling the interest of Swift in 
the premises in question all they might receive in excess of $4500; 
that under such contract they had a right to become the purchasers 
of such interest; that they did purchase the saine on Ivlay 18, 1920; 
that they have paid to appellee all that is due to him arising 
from the sale of his interest in said premises; that appellants 
are not equitably bound to account to appellee for any sum arising 
from the sale of said interest; that appellants were not guilty 
of any fraud in their transactions and dealings with appellee. 

The decree of the circuit court is therefore reversed and 
this cause is remanded with directions to the chancellor to 
dismiss the bill as amended for want of equity.

sales. These seven ci.rds did not show the gross daily sales 
or oredits, but contained onljr the net sclo?. It is contended 
by a;>pellant that thase Ci-.rde ware not hocks of cccouat and wore 
improperly admitted in evidonce. We thini: no eri'or was ccirjnitted 
in admitting these ozhilitE;. The evidence shows that they were 
made in the -asual course of husiness, wore in the htindv/riting of 
appellee ana were tzTie and correct. He had arlg-ht to keep hooks 
or records for hir^aelf, and the f-ct that appellant had the same 
/tecord more in detail did not denive appellee of the right to 
keep books for hinself, or prevent the hooks .ho kept "by him from 
being admitted in evidenco. Chishclm v-, Eearaan IGO 111. 101. The 
fact that theso er-hihits did not show total daily sales and 
credito, hut only net daily salee, did n't render them incomoo- 
tent. Andersen v. Crane, 1^3 111. A;op. 21. The evidence showed 
that the original Ci<rds uiade hy appellee a^Td turned over to aroel- 
lant, shcvi^ing gross daily sales, had "been destroyed, while the 
cards oado by hisi sho-.7ing daily credj.ts were still in the poss- 
ession of appellant. By reason of the destruction of these daily 
sale cards exhibits 1. to 7 were the only originc.l net sale 
cards in existence. 

We are of the opinion that these e^-diihit^. were pro^rly 
admitted in evidence for the farther reas n that the statement of 
the total sales and credits of t-ppellee furnished to appellant 
each day was in the nature of an aocount stated, there one per- 
son has a charge against :-^.nother person and fui'nishes a statement 
of account and no objections are inade to the statements within a 
reasonable ti-iie , they become accounts stated, and tend to estab- 
lish an admj.ssion by the debtor of the correctness of the account. 
Anderson v. Crane, supra. Copies of exhibits 1 to 7, but iiiore 
in detail, having been delivered to aopellant , that fact was 
competent to go to the jury in connection v/ith exhibits 1 to 7 . 

Eren if these seven exhibits were not books of original 
entiy and were improperly admitted in evidence, appellant was not 
injured by their admission for the reason that appellant's own

books admitted in evidence as exhildts 98 tc 110, showed the 
gross sal 33, aruj the credit cards made by aooellae and offered 
in evidejice by aopellc.iit ohOvV all prooer deductions from the 
gross daily sales and no variance is pointed out between 
appeilajit's exhiLlts 9G to 110 and aopellae's e-ihihits 1 tc 7. 
If there had been any v:a-iance appellant v/as in a position 
to have pointed it out and, not having done ho, we ossuKe there 
v«a3 no variance. If there was no variance then appellant v/as rot 
injured by the admission of appellee's exiiibits 1 to 7 even tho-ogh 
they were not booiie of original entry and were improperly ad- 
roit ted in evidence. 

It is next ecntended that the court improperly restricted 
the adrcission of appellant's exhibits 98 to 110 for the r'.uri>ose 
of showing gross sales only. These exhibits were the boots show- 
ing ap'.^llse's gros? sales and credits as kept by appellant during 
the ein.)loyinerit , and were iDade up fron: the cards showing gross 
sales and credits and turned in to appellant by appellee. It is 
claimed that they were fully identified as books of original 
entry and should have been admitted for all purposes without re- 
striction, and that by so restricting their admission, apoelLant 
was precluded froir questioning appellee's e s ti :f:::,t e of the amount 
of merchandise which had been returned and which should have been 
charged against his gross sales; tliat appellant attonpted to raake 
a special showing of the amotint of merchandise returned by 
offering a nuicber of exhibits of credit raemcronda for the return 
of goods sold by appellees, but the coitrt roused to aduiit them 
because they were not in the handwriting of appellee. \le do not 
see how apoellant was in any way injured by this limitation. 
Exhibits 98 to 110 were adn:itted to show the gross sales, and 
exhibits 1 to 7 were offered by appellee tc sho^.' the net sales. 
The credit c :rdc , showing the creaits, were offered in evidence 
by appellant. Thus the total sales and credits v.'ere fully proven 
by proper evidence. As far as credits were concerned, eshibits 
98 to 110 were nere repetitions of the original credits admitted

sisted hy appellant that the jXidj2''J0ut , Leiug in cxceLJS of the

t'-'7 appellant shewed no ai- cnd^'.ent cf the ad damnLUii, but an addi-

12, 1921, appellee made a itotiou tc increaoe the ad daaxiuaj in 
the declaration tc -f 700. 00. The motion vjas allowed and the 
am^ndr^ent 7/a£ v.,:,de. The iudgnjent does not exceed the ad damnum

to any variance bet'veor the amoun-t, of dauagas ^!.b alleged iii the 
declaration and the :unoiint set forth in, the praecipe and sc. Jiiraons .

:_t the close of the evidence, appellant uiade a motion to 
direct a verdict in its fa^'or, the motion was overruled and this 
ruling is assigned ss error. It ir. also contended that the ver- 
dict is contrary to the weight of the e^ridence. The n.otioa to 
direct a verdict w-^s based on the clairn of rppellant thut the 
suit was irematurely brought for the reason that the emplO'.r-.ient

the end of the year, whereas the siiit was oorrffi^nced en TToveniber

evidence is based upon the seine ground/ There is a sharp con- 
flict in the evidence as tc the teris of the employxent . The

Part low, J. 

On December 24, 1909, appellant, George k. Lyon, as trustee 
in bankruptcy of Josiah L. Robinson, filed his bill in the circuit 
court of Rock Island county against appellees, Josiah L. Robinson; 
Ada Stone Robinson; the Mutual Wheel Company, a corporation; L. G. 
Willis, as trustee in bankruptcy of the Robinson-Miller Company, a 
corporation; William E. Fry, trustee in bankruptcy of the Robinson 
Manufacturing Company, a corporation; H. G. McGee, executor of the 
estate of Frank H. Keys, deceased; Fred J. Kraft; Gary R. Crawford; 
and George McMaster, in which appellant sought to set aside certain 
transfers of stock by Robinson alleged to have been in fraud of 
creditors. The cause was removed to the United States Court, was 
subsequently sent back to the State court, and amended and supple- 
mental bills were filed. There were demurrers to the bill, fiimlly 
issue was joined and the cause was referred to a master to take the 
evidence and report his conclusions. The rxister recommended a 
decree setting aside a part of the transfers, and holding that other 
transfers were valid. Exceptions to the master's report were sustained, 
the bill was dismissed for want of equity, and this appeal was pro- 
secuted. 

The evidence shows that Josiah L. Robinson, in 1875, in the

city of Freeport, formed a co-partnership knouii as Kobinscn i 
Company, for the maxnifacture of vehicles. The Tiu.siness was success- 
ful, and in 1890 was incorporated under the nan© of the Hobinson 
Iilanufacturing Company. Two adjunct corporations v.'ere organized to 
take care of the output of the Rohinson Manufacti!.ring- Company", 
namely, the Robins on-Liiller Company, of Llinneapolis, !,:in:iesota,, 
incorporated in 1891 to look after the business in the northv/est, 
and the Consolidated Implement Gorapan:/, of Kansas City, Missouri, 
to look after the business of the southvk'est. ."' " . was the lead- 

ing spirit in all of these corporations. In 1891 or 1892, a number 
of persons engaged in the manufacture of vehicles and requiring 
wheels iu large quantities, incorporated the Mutual Wheel Company, 
with headquarters in the city of Moline , Illinois. The object of 
this corporation was to manufacture wheels, supply the members of 
the corporation at advantageous prices, and not to let sjiy of the 
stock get into the hands of outsiders. This last corporation was 
prosperous, paid large dividends and increased its capital stock 
from tiiiie to time. 

Fred J. Ilraf t , in 1889, entered the emploj- of the Robinson 
Manufacturing Company as a traveling salesman, and continued in 
that position until December, 1900. Hobinson and Kraft went to a 
health resort in ^Ima, Michigan, where Robinson met Ada Stone, a 
bookkeepe*".. She was born in V/ashington, D. C, she taught school 
at $21o00 a month, and had been employed for about five years in the 
government departments at from $60*00 to v75.00 per month, also at 
Alma, Michigan, for two years and a half at v30»00 a month, and 
her room, board and washing. She had saved about f;1800.00. She 
accepted Robinson's offer of employment, and in 1898 v/ent to Free- 
port and entered the employ of the Robinson Manufacturing Company. 
She took with her the 1^1800.00 she had saved from her former employ- 
ment, and testified that she placed it in an envelope in the 
company's safe, where it remained with other small accumulations. 
She became a member of the Robinson family, and their relations

"became ver;^ close and confidential. Her salary at the Robinson 
Manufacturing Company at first was :|i;i£.50 a week, which was later 
increased to $1000.00 per year. Robinson in 190£ made gifts 
and transfers of money and other property to Ada otone. s.hen 
Robinson's mother died she left an estate of about C^VOOoGO, 
which was given to -^da Stone. From 190£ to 1904 three insurance 
policies on Robinson's life matured, and these amounts were paid to 
her; one was $760.00, a second was C'EOOO.OO, and the third was 
fl550,00o Robinson's wife died in Noveraber, 1903, leaving no estate, 
£ind in the following year Robinson made a gift of his home and its 
furnishings to Ada Stone, which property was afterjvards sold for 
$8000.00. It is claimed that all of these gifts to Ada Stone were 
returned to Robinson by her to be held by him in trust for her, 
and they v/ere allowed to accumulate for fu.ture investments. In 
August, 1905, Robinson and .;^da Stone were married; and the evidence 
shows that the fund in the envelope in the safe had increased* to 
about $3000 o 00. 

Robinson o'^ned 270 shares of stock of the Mutual whieel Company, 
with a par val\ie of ;^£7,000.00, and on March 7, 1906, he made a 
gift to his wife of 180 oif these shares, and certificate Ko. 87 
was issued to her. This certificate was afterwards divided into 
two certificates, Nos. 113 and 114, and for 90 shares each, issued 
to Mrs. Robinson. The remaining 90 sh-res of the £70 standing in 
the name of Robinson, it is claimed, were owned by the Robinson 
Manufacturing Company, and held by Robinson as trustee. In the fall 
of 1906, a stock dividend of 100 per cent was declared, whereby 
the number of shares of Mrs. Robinson v/as doubled, making her the 
owner of 360 shares of the Mutual V^'heel Company stock. The 90 shares 
which Robinson claims he held in tnist participated in the stock 
dividend, and these 180 shares were subsequently hyoothieated to 
the First National Bank of Freeport to secure a debt of the Robinson 
Manufacturing Company. Later this pledge was divided, the bank 
taking in pledge 110 shares, and a certificate for 70 shares, 
numbered 11£ , was later issued to Ilraft on July £, 1908.

In 1907 Robinson "began to have financial difficulties. 
The bants refused to loan his corporation any more money and demand- 
ed payment on the notes which were at that time due. Robinson 
carried the paper of these corporations to a large amount on which 
he could not realize. V/hen confronted with these difficulties 
Robinson and his wife determined to invest the trust fund, which 
Robinson held for his wife, in the stock of the Mutual V^heel Company. 
The Robinson-Miller Company claimed to hold, through Robinson, as 
trustee, 90 shares of this stock, being certificate Ho. 89, and ' 
Robinson and wife went to Minneapolis, and, on August 6, 1907, pro- 
cured a trstnsfer of this certiflc te to Mrs. Robinson, as certificate 
Ifo. 106. Most of the purchase price for this stock, it is derived, 
was paid in checks by Robinson from the trust fand, which appeared, 
however, merely as a credit to him on the books of the Robinson- 
Miller CompanylJ To make up the balance Mrso Robinson drew on the 
$3000.00 envelope in the safe of the Robinson lilanufacturing Company. 
It is claimed by Robinson that this purchase was in faci'made early 
in July, 1907, and on account of the absence of the secretary/- the 
new certificate v/as not issued until ..ugT;!St, but the appellant con- 
tends that this was merely a subterfuge to avoid the four months 
provision of the Bankruptcy Act. In writing out the assignment of 
certificate IJo. 89, the secretary inserted the name of J. L. Robin- 
son, but his attention was called to that fact, and it was corrected 
by adding to the assignment the statement that the shc^res were issued 
to Ada S. Robinson. 

On October 31, 1907, Robinson ordered certificates Nos. 70 
and 88 cancelled, and certificate Uo. 107 for 90 shares, and Ho. 108 
for 70 shares, were issued in their place to Mrs. Robinson. Thus, 
on October 31, 1907, on the eve of the insolvency of Robinson, his 
wife became the owner of 610 shares of the stock of the Mutual 
Wheel Company and its value was $125.00 a sh-.re. 

On the afternoon of October 31, 1907, Robinson left Preeport 
to join Mrs. Robinson in Kansas City. He took with him all of the 
available funds of these corporations, amounting to about ^4500. 00.

jie testified that of this amou-jt , he paid ^1)530. 00 on a note due 
from the Robinson Llariufacturing Company to lirs. Laura :itcne, the 
mother of i-irs. Robinson, and $£400o00 of the amount was turned over 
to i'lrs. Rohinson, and Robinson kept the remaining ;,'j1600.00. In 
llovember, 19C7 , Robinson and Vidfe, in Los Jlngeles, California, 
met Zraft , who had severed his conneotion with the Robinson l.Ianu- 
facturing Company about 1900, and had located in Los Angeles, where 
he was in the carpenter business, Vvhile in the employ of the 
Robinson Itonufacturing Company he received a salary of from |]75o00 
to ^125,00 a month, and it is claimed that he acquired certain stock 
of the corporation, and that wheal he left its employ it owed him 
back salary and borrov/ed money amountii-ig to f;7300.00, and the 
company's note was issued to him for this amount, but his stock 
was left in the possession of the company. It is apparent from 
the evidence that Eraft knew very little, if anything, about this 
!|7300«00 note or his stock in the company. He left everything to 
Robinson, who looked after the matter for him, and received the 
interest. Robinson and wife had the Ilraft note of v7300.00 with 
them in Los ^Ingeles, and Mrs. Robinson claims she took up this note 
by giving her own note to Ilraft and leaving with him as collateral 
security certificate 108 for 70 shares of stock. On July 2, 1908, 
Mrs. Robinson, took up her note to liraft by transferring to him the 
70 shares of the V.Tieel Company's stock, being certificate 112. 
On ^pril 10, 1908, Robinson was adjudged a barikrupt in the 
United States*Court of Minnesota, and George A. Lyon v;as appointed 
as trustee. Robinsoi-i was discharged in bankruptcy, on x^ugust 4, 
1911, over the objections of the Fidelity Trast Company, a creditor. 
On March 2, 1908, the Robinson-Miller Company was adjudged a bank- 
rupt in the sajne court, and L, G. V.illis v/as appointed trustee. On 
February 8, 1908, the Robinson Ivlanufacturing Company was adjudged 
a bankrupt in the United States District Court for the V/estem 
Division of the northern District of Illinois, and V/illiam 'iC. Fry 
was appointed trustee. On July 1, 1908, a bill was filed in the 
District Court of the United States for the northern Divisioxi of

the Southern District of Illinois, by George .v* Lyon, trustee of 
Robinson, ag-inst Rob-inson and his wife and. the Mutual '..heel 
Company, Zraft, Willis and i'ry, as trustees, v/hich bill alleged 
the ownership of the 610 shares of the Mutual heo^l Company stock 
by Hobinson, the transfer to iirs. Hobinson, the pledge of the 70 
shares to Kraft, and alleged that all of these transactions were 
fraudulent as to creditors of Robinson, and prayed that the saiie 
be vacated and the stock subjected to the payment of Robinson's 
debts. On October 2, 1908, notice was served on the Mutual Wheel 
Company, notifying it of the filing of the bill in the United 
States Court and waiting it not to pay dividends to either Robin- 
son or wife, or to Kraft, on the stock in question. On llovember 
23, 1908, Pry, as trustee, filed a cross-bill inaking, in substance, 
the same charges as in the original bill, and on October 20, 1909, 
the bill and cross-bill were dismissed. 

On December 24, 1909, appellant, as trustee, filed the bill 
in this Ccse in the circuit court of Rock Island county against 
the parties to this suit, Loaking the same charges as alleged in the 
bill filed in the United otates Court, and asking the same relief. 
On May 2, 1910, iiobinson and wife and Kraft ht.d the cause removed 
to the United States District Court for the Southern District of 
Illinois, where the suit was subsequently dismissed, was afterwards 
reinstated, anci the cause was finally remanded to the circuit court 
of Hock Island county. On November 6, 1911, an amended and supple- 
mental bill was filed making Frank H. Keys , Cary R. Crawford and 
George MoMaster defendants,, and alleging trarisfers of stock to 
them subsequent to the filing of the bill. Keys lived in Iowa, 
Crawford in Missouri, and IiIeMaster in Illinois. Upon issue biing 
joined in the circuit court of Rook Island county, the cause was 
referred to the master to take the evidence and report his con- 
clusions. 

The master found that the transfer of the 180 shares of 
stock in I&rch, 1906, was a gift made under such circumstances as 
to be unassailable, and therefore it and its increase to 360 shares

in October, 1906, were out of the case; that the transfer of £50 
shares in August and October, 1907, wore iJaid for hy rvohinson, 
were transferred to j.itrs. Rohinson without consideration in order 
to place them out of the reach of his creditors, and were not paid 
for out of any trust fund belonging to I»irs. Hobinson; that the 
transfers to Eeys, Crawford and McMaster were in good faith, the 
doctrine of lis pendens did not apply to them, they did not have 
any notice and were not charged with knowledge of any improper 
intent in the transfer, and the bill was disridssed as to them. 
On June 10, 1909, the master overruled the objections to this report, 
except those referring to the prayer for an accounting from ivirs. 
fiobinson, and as to these objections the m ster modified his report 
and found that the appellant was entitled, under the bill, to an 
accoujiting from Jilrs. Sob ins on. 

On the hearing of exceptions to the Ulster's report, the 
exceotions were sustained and the court found that Crawford, Keys, 
and Mcilaster were bona fide purchasers and tha bill should be 
dismissed as to them; that no decree for an accounting could be 
entered against Hobinson, his wife or Kraft, for the reason that 
all of them were served by publication, and the court v/as without 
jurisdiction to render a personal decree against them; that the 
appellant was not a judg/nent creditor of Robinson, with execution 
unsatisfied, and was not entitled to a discovery of property in 
the hands of a third person; that the cause could not be retained 
against the Mutual Wheel Company and Crawford, Zeys and Mcltoaster, 
and the ^11 was dismissed for want of equity. v 

The contention of the appellant is th, t the gift in March, 

1906, was colorable only, sjad. Eobinson continued thereafter to have 
control and a beneficial interest in the stock; that the transfer 

of August, 1907, by Eobinson-Miller Company, was paid for by Robinson 
and vested the equitable and legal title in him, and the stock was 
re-issued to his wife without consideration for the purpose of 
delaying and defrauding creditors; th&t tie transfer In October, 

1907, was without consideration and void as to creditors, and

whatever interest the Robinson Maraifacturing Company had was 
extinguished by that transfer; th- 1 Keys, Crawford and iJcilaster 
were not innocent purchasers, hut, if they were held to be innocent 
purchasers, Ltrs. Robinson raust account from the shares retained 
by her for all shares transferred by her to them, there being no 
identity in the shcires of stock; and if there were no shares re- 
tained by her, then she nmst account for their value. 

The contention of a jpellee is that the appellant had no 
legal right to institute the suit, and it waa commenced without 
any lien, judgnient or execution; that the appellant is estooioed 
by the objections of the Fidelity Trust Coinpany before the bank- 
ruptcy court, to the discharge of Rcbinscn, and the question of the 
alleged fraud is res judicata; that appellant cannot have a decree 
.in personam against Mrs. Robinson; that the Fidelity Trust Company 
was the only creditor and was not a creditor of Robinson at the 
time of the transfer of the stock, ,and therefore appellant is in 
no position to attack the transfers; that the appellant cannot h ve 
a decree in rem because the res never was within the jurisdiction 
of the court, or if it ever was, it oassed to boiij. fide holders 
for value; that as there was no transfer of the stock within four 
months of the adjudication in bankruptcy, the appellant can have 
no relief for the reason that the stock transferred passed into 
the hands of innocent holders for value, and by the terms of the 
Bankruptcy .^ct these purchasers 6 re protected; that the bill was to 
remove clouds and set aside transfers of personal property, and a 
court of equity was vd.thout jurisdiction, b\it the remedy was at law; 
that the court never had jurisdiction either of the res, or the 
person of Mrs. Robinson; that a transfer to be avoided by creditors 
must be made at a time when the trt.ndferor was indebted to the 
creditors; that a gift inter vivos by a husband to a wife is valid 
against creditors if the husband is solvent when he made the gift, 
and no creditor can avoid such a gift unless he v/as a creditor at 
the time of the gift, unless the gift was made in antic ipationof 
the debts.

beotlon 67 E, of the Bankruptoy .-.ct of 1898, provides that 
all transfers with intent to hinder or delay creditors \,ithin four 
months prior to the filing of the hankruptoy petition, shall he 
void, aiid thet all property so transferred shall pass to the 
trustee, and it shall be the duty of the trustee to recover the 
same hy legal proceedings, section 70 ^, provides that the trustee 
may avoid any transfer which aiiy creditor might have avoided, and 
may recover the property so transferred. Loveland on Bankruptcy, 
3rd edition, 126y-1272. The right and duty of the trustee, with- 
out prior leave of court, to bring an action for such recovery 
has been recognized, loveitnd on Bankruptcy, 3rd edition, 424, 
Under these sections it was not only the right but it v/as 
the duty of the appellant, as trustee of Kobinson, to file the 
bill in this c se for the mrpose of subjecting the property! of 
the bankrupt to the payrflent of his debts, and le^ive of court was 
not necessary before such suit was filed. The bill was filed, not 
for the benefit of the Fidelity Trust Company alone, but it was 
filed for the benefit of all creditors, and it made no difference 
that the Fidelity Trust Company, employed attorneys to assist in 
the prosecution of the case, and 2ms been more active than other 
creditors in pushing the case to a conclusion. The ff.ct remains 
that the Fidelity Trust Company is not the real and sole complain- 
ant, but the suit was brought for the benefit of all creditors, 
and they share in the result of the suit according to the amount 
of their claims. 

Keither is it true, as claimed by appellee, that because 
the Fidelity Trust Company filed objections to the final discharge 
in bankruptcy of Robinson on substantially the same grounds as are 
alleged in the bill, and the United States Court denied the ob- 
jections and discharged Hobinson, that the alleged fraud of Hobin- 
son in transferring the stock is res judicata. The most of 
appellees' argument on this point, as it is on several other 
points in this oee, is that the Fidelity Trust Company was the 
only creditor of the bankrupt. We do not think the evidence

sustains this contention. The bankruptoy proueeoLings show that 
five claims were proven ag inst the estate of Rohinscn, three ty 
the petitioning creditors, one by the vestem Trust and Savings 
Bank of Chicago, and one hy the Third National Bank: of Hockford, 
Illinois. It has "been held in many cases that the discharge of 
a "bankrupt is personal to him and does not effect a suit for 
the recovery of fraudulently transferred assets. Moyer vs. D^jwoy, 
103 U.S. 301; In re rierce, 103 Fed. 64; In re Burton, £9 F-ed. 637. 
x'he reason for this rule is that otherwise one creditor, by object- 
ing to the discharge of the baiaianipt, could defeat the claims of the 
trustee, though the latter was not a party to the contest over the 
discharge, and one creditor might defeat the claims of all other 
creditors, regardless of the merits of the controversy. In this 
case all of the creditors did aot file objections to the discharge, 
and the trustee took no part in the proceedings, and therefore the 
order of the United States Court v/as not res judicata as against the 
trustee. 

There is no merit in the contention of the appellees that 
the Fidelity Trust Company was not a creditor of Robinson at the 
time of the transfer of the stock, and that appellant cannot attack 
the transfer, or that appellant c&nnot recover because ha had no 
judgment against Hobinson, u ^on which an execution could be issued 
and returned no property found. 160 shares of the stock were 
transferred ta Mrs. Hobinson on October 31, 1907, after the Fidelity 
Trust Company became a creditor; and before all of the transfers of 
1907, the Third National Bank and the Union ITational Bank were 
creditors and had been creditors for considerable time. This con- 
tention of the appellees cannot be sustained for another reason. 
This is not a creditors' bill filed by a judgment creditor to sub- 
ject the real estate to the lien of his judgment, out it is a bill 
by a trustee in bankruptcy for the mrpose of reducing to possession 
the assets of the bankrupt. It is not a prerequisite to the filing 
of such a bill that an execution should have been issued upon a 
judgment secured by the creditor of the bankrupt. After the

adjudication of the "bankrupt nc creditor jould reduce his claim 
to jiidg;-ient, nor would he be permitted to sue cut au execution 
and levy the same upon any part of the estate of the bankrupt. 
For these reasons, the ordinarjr rule vv'ith reference to the 
issuance of an execution before the filing of a creditors' bill 
does not apply in this cr^se. McKey vs. finazmal, 263 111. 276. 
The transfers which the master lound should be set aside were 
made within four months of the bankruptcy proceeding aiid under the 
statute were void if made to defraud creditors. 

The next question ie with reference to the jurisdiction 
which the court acquired over lirs. iioblnson. Hobinson and wife, 
Kraft, Crawford and iCe^s were all residents of foreign States, 
and the service on each was tj publication. There was peraon^sl 
service as to McMaster. Robinson and Eraft did not appear, but 
all of the other defendants filed demurrers and answers. Mrs. 
Robinson entered a special aopearance and filed a plea to the 
jurisdiction, which plea was overruled, and all of the defendatits 
¥;ere ruled to answer. Thereupon, her solicitor xox-mally entered 
an appearance "in pursuance of the rule and order of the court" 
and "for the ;ourpose of making such ansv/er as may be necessary 
under such rule". On the same day she filed a general demurrer 
which was filed "only in oursucince of the rule". Thereafter an 
amended bill was filed and she filed a general demurrer "only in 
pursuance of the rule". .^ second amended bill was filed arid she 
again demurred, and later filed an answer to the merits, putting 
in issue substantially all of the allegations of the bill. The 
cause was referred to -a master, exhaustive hearing were held, 
depositions were taken in many places, and ilrs. Robinson appeared 
by attorney and took part in the proceedings. The merits of the 
case were presented, argued on both sides, and submitted tc the 
court and to the master. It has been held in n-any cases that , 
under the circumstances here presented, a defendant submits herself 
to the complete jurisdiction of the court for all .purposes the same 
as if she had been regularly served with summons as provided by law.

Lahner vs. xlertzog, 23 111. App. 308; Hosentleet vs. Roaonblaot, 
122 111. App. 408. In Nicholas vs. The i'eople, 165 II]. 502, on 
page 503 it was said: "Tho notice published was so dafectivo that 
the court acquired no jurisdiction by virtue of it, since the land 
dould not "be identified from the description, (Pickering vs. Lomax, 
120 111. 289) , ax^vi if appellant did not submit to the jurisdiction 
of the court, such jurisdiction would not be acquired by an a.nend- 
ment of the notice. The case of .^eople vs. Green, 158 111. 594, 
was where there was a general appearance by the defendants, and the 
court had jurisdiction. Appellant had a right to appear specially 
and question the sufficiency of the notice to confer jurisdiction,- 
and if he went no further the court would have no right to reader 
a judgment. But a defendant may enter his appearance in a tax ease 
as well as in a personal action ag: inst him, and if the appearance 
of appellant ¥;as general, it made no differencs whether the notice 
published was defective or not. ( i-'eople vs. oherraan , 83 111. 165; 
Hale vs. People, 87 id. 72; Mix vs. People, 106 id. 425; 'People vs. 
Dragstran, 100 id. 285.) A special appearance aiuat be for the lur- 
pose of UE^ng jurisdictional objections only, and it mast be con- 
fined to a denial of jurisdiction, ^^i appearance for any other mr- 
pose than to question the jurisdiction of the court is general. 
(2 Ency. of PI. and Pr. 632, .:.bbott vs. Semple, 25 111. 107; Kcl^ab 
vs. Bennett, 66 id. 157; Crull vs. Keener, 18 id. 65.) In Crull vs. 
^eener, supra, it was said (p. 66): 'There are cases where the de- 
fendant may make a quasi appearance for the puriose of objecting 
to the manner in which he is brought before the court, and in fact 
to show that he is not legally there at all, but if he ever appears 
tq the merits he submits himself completely to the jurisdiction of 
the court and must abide the consequences.' If he appears to the 

t merits no statement that he does not will av il him, and if he ciakes 
U ■ 
'% a defense which can only be sustained by an exercise of jurisdiction, 

the appearance is general, whether it is in ternis limited to a 

'} special purpose or not. 2 Ency. of rl. and Pr. 625." To the same 

|| effect is People vs. Smith, 281 111. 638. We hold that under the

not from the stock held ixaii^r a constru tive trust for the lienefit 
of creditors. Pyfer vs. V.'f.les, 36 111. Aip. A46 ; Cletiraer vs. 
Drovers' National Larik, 157 111. 206. "Lven though the certificates 
for the 310 chares transferred to Crawford, I'lejs and 'oMaster 
included all of the stock issued to -ars. Eobinson in 1907, never- 
theless the lav; does not recognize the identity of shares, hut, 
on the ocntrary, treats the transfer a.3 covering the stoci. right- 
fully oivned. 

As to the transfer of stock, the evidence shows that Robinson 
was the organizer of all of these corooiuticns. He was a man of 
ability and foresight. He was the moving spirit in each of 
these corporations. As a result of their prosperity, Robinson 
■became wealthy. Apparently there was no financial difficulty 
until 1907, when all of the corporations exceot the Mutual T.heel 
Company became financially embarrassed. To save them froEi bank- 
ruptcy Robinson pledged his financial credit. This act of Eobinson 
did not avert the crash. Robinson saw that the corporations were 
doomed and he attempted to save a part of his property. In .Larch, 
1906^ he owned S70 shares of the Mutual v.heel Company, and in 
that month he transferred 180 of these shares to his mfe. The 
roaster found this tr nsfer was not' in fraud of creditors, and we 
think this finding is supported by the evidence. In the first 
place, it was not mede within four months of the bankruptcy of 
Robinson, and therefore does not come within section 67 E of the 
Bankniptcy .it. The evidence fails to shov? that on the date of 
the transfer Robinson was insolveiit,, but on the contrar;^ it tends 
very strongly to show that he was in fact solvent, but that con- 
ditions h£.d arisen which might place the corporations in financial 
difficulty. It is apparent this transfer was a gift to his wife 
and was made without aay consideration. If Robinson was solvent 
at the date of the transfer, and it was not made in fraud of 
creditors, then Robinson was at liberty to sell and dispose of his 
property in any manner he might see fit, and no one could comlain.

He cot>.ldL sell or give it to his wife and she would acqiiire the 
absolute title thereto, ochubsrth vs. bchillc, 177 111. 346; 
Vietor vs. Swisky, £00 111. £57; Torrey vs. Dickinson, 213 111. 36; 
Riggin vs. ' eck, 20o 111* App, 87. For these reasons, v/e agree 
with the lu; ster tJifct the evidence was not sufficient to set aside 
the transfer in 1906. 

On Augu.st 20, 1907, the Sobiiison-Milier Company endorsed a 
certificiite of yo shares to r.ofcinscn. He at once endorsed it to 
hifa wife and the certificate was re-issued tc her. On October 31, 
1907, 160 shares standing ilobinson's name were assigned tc ldi*s. 
Hobinson. -..bout J^Ioveuiber i, 1507, Robinson and vTife left for 
California, taking v/ith theia certificates for 610 shares, and 
practically all of the available cash of the Robinson Manufacturing 
Company. On November 26, 1907, a petition in bankruptcy was filed 
against Bobinson, resulting in an adjudication. The tastiniony of 
Robinson was that the stock transferred in .ugast, 1907, was the 
property of the Robinson-Miller Company; that it was purchased 
prior to J^ly 26, 1907, by Robinson for his .vife, and paid for 
by a credit accunnilated in his account V7ith that company out of 
the trust fund held by Robinson fcr hio v;ife, with the addition 
of about $3000.00 paid into the account by her from aa envelope 
kept in the sacie. The account shovved several credits in June 
and July, and a charge of $9000.00 against it which was identified 
as the alleged varment. The 160 shares transferred in October, 
1907, it is elaiiued by Robinson, belonged to the Robinson Manu- 
facturing Comoany until the suiumer of 1907, nd that it was held 
in the naiae of Robinson because the corporation could not hold 
stock in ai'^-Other cor ^oration, and that 90 shares of this stock 
were transferred to I£rs. Robinson and paid for by a credit 
q,ccuniulation in Robinson's account out of the tnjst fund. j.fter 
considering all of this evidence we are of the opinion that the 
contention of Robinson that this stock did not belong to him but 
belonged to the corporation is not suotLiined by the evidence, but

on the other hand the evidence aiiiply But.taint? tha contention that 
all of this etock transferred in .^ugi^ist and October, 1907, yvas the 
property of RoT3lr_son and was ccnveyed for the purpcse of defraud- 
ing his creditors. Counsel for LJrs. Hohinson urge, with consider- 
able earnestness, that these tvrc transfers vere legitimate; that 
they were "based upon a valuable considers,tion and were rot in fraud 
of creditors. In support of this contention thsy recite the 
evidence relative to the trust fund in the hands of FLOhinson he- ■ 
longing to his wife which had been accurjiul ted throughout all the 
years by the various gifts above recited from Solinson to his ..ife, 
also the acciumilation of the fur.d in the stfe which was started 
with the $1800.00 v/hich she brought with her from Ilichigan, and 
which had gradually increased until it aiiiounted to about $3000.00 
in 1907. 'Ve are unable to shure counsel's confidence ia this 
contention, but on the contrary we are inclined to believe that 
this story strongly tends to support the contention of appellant 
that the transfers of 1907 were fraudulent. Ho good purpose would 
be served in expressing, in detail, our views on this feature of 
the case, but we deea it sufficient to say that the accuEulbtion 
of these two funds was so unusual and so contrary to ordinarjf 
business rcethods that is ism hard to believe they were actually 
accumulated as appellees contend. On the whole v;o think the evL- 
denoe shows that Robinson's companies , except the Mutual ^.heel 
Company, were getting into straightened circuiastances as early 
as the spring of 1907, and the conditions gradually grew worse 
until they culminated in the disaster of the late fall, and dur- 
ing all of this time Robinson transferred practically all of his 
assets to his wife without any consideration; that after the 
transfers to his vife, Hobinson continued to control and maniige 
the stock transferred, and received the dividends thereon as late 
as the spring of 1908. For these reasons, the transfers of August 
and October, 1907, were fraudulent as to creditors, and the master 
was correct in so finding.

•ATiexi Robinson and wife arilved in Calil'orni.. thoy huid in 
their posseseion 610 ch X3S of the B'vOck of the ijatual v,b.eel 
Coinpan;;-. In November, iy07 , ilrs. Ho-cinson assigned 70 shares to 
Kraft. In July, 1906, a new certific^ite was issued to him, and 
in J'ulj'^, 1909, he aseigned thit. oertifioate to Koys and it v/as 
transferred to the Istter. In -lay, 1910, lors • l^.obinson transferred 
80 shares to Ze^'^B and 160 shares tc Crawford. Crawford later gave 
an. option for 60 of these chareci to i.iCiiaster, v/hich option was 
eser isfed hy McMaster in December, 1910, immediately after the 
dismissal of the case in the United dtates Court lut before it v/es 
reinstated. This made a total of 310 shares transferred by iirs. 
Robinson, and loft her as the ov/ner of 500 shares. Kraft v/aa 
served by publication, fie did not appear, no personal decree 
oould be entered against hi:.i, and his stocli had oeen traiisferred 
to Keys and nothing remained in his hande. Meys and Crawford 
were served with publication, and appeared and answered the bill. 
The master f otind "that the trandfers to Zeim , ..IcMaster and Crav/ford 
were not made lis pendens, but were made for a valuable considera- 
tion, and were not fraudulent. This finding of the a^aster is not 
seriously controverted as to Siejs and Crawford, but it is contro- 
verted as to LIcMaster. The evidence shows tjoat Keys and ^civiaster 
wero directors of the eomparjy, and IJcJaster ivas the secretary. 
Moon, who v/as Crav/ford's business associate, was also a director 
of the company. There v/as evidence tending to shov/ that all three 
of these appellees were friends of -.cbinscn, h- d oeen closely asso- 
oiated with him in business, knew of the various transfers of stock, 
and of the suits wnich had been filed for the purpose of setting 
aside some of these transfers. There are sus )iciou£ circumstances 
in evidence with reference tc the transfers of this stock tc these 
three appellees, but the njost that can be said under the evidence is 
that Keys, Crawford and ;icl.:aster were iXirchasarG froiL one holding 
under a fraudulent transfer. .. purchaser from a person holding 
under a fraudulent conveyance is not affacted by such fraud unless 
he had notice of the fraud. Section 5, chapter 59, of the statute;

Spicer vs. Robinson, 73 111. 519; Gavagan vs. Bryant, 83 111. 
376; Bradley vs. Luc a, 99 111, 234; /lick vs. G-uabert, 142 
111. 154. To justify a court in setting aside a transfer for 
fraud there must ben an attempt lD;y' "both parties tc the trans- 
action to practice the fraud. There is no proof in tliis record 
of this essential element. Shin vs. ohin, 91 111, 477; Ifott vs. 
I3hutts, 87 111, :^pp. 341. These parties testified positively that 
they pail full value fci this stock, and that they did not purchase 
it for the purpose of defrauding creditors of xiohinson. The 
evidence sho?/s that these tiiree appellees were interested in tht» 
Kutual Wheel CompaiTy before the bankruptcy proceedings, and for 
that reason they probably would want to buy the stock and keep it 
In their own hands. If the stock ¥/as really the property of lirs. 
Hobinson, there is no reason appcrent, fron; tke evidence, wh^ she 
v/ould part irith it to these tliree appellees unless they did pay 
full value for it. \?e think the evidence fails to justify holding 
them liable for the stock obtained by theti. Counsel for appellees 
very earnestly insist that the traiiE^fer from wlrs. Robinson tc Kraft 
was for a valuable consideration and was not fraudulent. Tie ;;.re 
not ittipressed witjj. appellees position on this question. V.e :.re 
more inclined to think the evidence sustains the contention of 
appellant jsbA that such transfer was in f rau i of creditors. 

We are of the opinion that the chancellor was in error in 
sustaining the exceptions to the master's report and dismissing 
'the bill for want of equity. Therefore, the decree will be re- 
versed and the cause will be remanded with directions to over-rule 
the exceptions to the roaster's report, to enter a decree in con- 
formity with the master's report, and to refer the cause to the 
master, if necessary, to state an account, charging ilrs. Hobiiison 
with the value of the property which she received as the result 
of the transfers of ^Ugast and October, 1907, as found by the 
master. 

Heversed and remanded with directions.

Appellant , 

vs. Appeal from Zjtioz

Appellees , 

Part low, J. 

On November 13, 1915, appellant, C. E. Enbloom, obtained a 
Judgment in the circuit court of Znox cotmty for 1932.19 against 
the ^i. Boyer Broom Company, a corporation, for brooi! corn sold to 
the corporation in 1914 and 1915. On January 23, 1917, a writ of 
fieri facias was issued and placed in the hands of the sheriff of 
Knox county and a levy was made upon certain real estate alleged to 
"belong to the corporation, -.t the Fe'biruary term, 1917, of the 
circuit court of Knox ccfunty, appellant filed a bill against H.A. 
Bullock, Prank E» Johnson, Gust W» Rodelle, David Ramp, E.D. Aiken, 
Ora GTinningham, A. Boyer Broom Company, a corporation, Mechanics 
Homestead said Loan Association, a corporation, and Fidelity Savings 
and Loan Society, a corporation, wherein appellant sought to have 
the real estate levied upon decreed tc be the property cf the cor- 
poration and subject to the pajmient of appellant's judgjuent. The 
bill was later dismissed as to Aiken, the Mechanics Homestead and 
Loan Association, and the Fidelity Savings and Loan Society. Upon 
issue being joined, the cause was referred to the master to take the 
evidence and report his conclusions. The master found the issues 
in favor of the appellees and recommended that the bill be dismissed 
for want of equity at the appellant's costs. Objections were filed 
to the master's report which were overruled, and upon a hearing 
"before the chancellor, exceptions to the report were overruled and 
the bill was dismissed for want of equity, and from that decree 
this appeal was prosecuted.

This is, strictly speaking, nor a creditor's till, but is a 
"bill in aid of an execution, and seeks to have the real estate de- 
creed to he the property of the corporation aM subject to its 
debts. The contention of appellant is that the appellees were 
stockholders, directors and officers of the corporation and, for 
that reason, occupied a fiduciary relation to the oorporeition and 
its creditors; that while the real estate was transferred to them a 
individuals, that under the law, they held it in tinst for the cor- 
poration; and it was in fact the property of the corporation and 
liable for its debts. 

There can be veiy little controversy as to the law applicable 
to thid case. Officers and directors of a eoraoration occupy a 
fiduciary relation to the corporation and to its creditors. Chetlain 
vs. Republic Life Insurance Co. 86 111, 220. The directors of a 
corporation are chargeable with knowledge of all the facts concern- 
ing the financial condition of the corporation, and they canaot 
acquire the property of the corporation for their ovm. use. Moody 
vs. Chicago Title & Tmst Co. 126 111. App. 68; Yoorhees vs. Mason 
245 111. 256. Property subject to a tinxst may be reclaimed by the 
owner wherever it may be found, without regard to any change which 
Eoay have been made in its fomi or condition. Wobbe vs, Schaub, 
143 111. App. 361; Rice vs. Dougherty, 148 111. App. 368; Union 
National Bank vs. Goetz, 138 111. 127; Maher ts. -.Idrich, 206 111. 
242. 

The master and the chancellor found that the appellant had 
failed to prove his cse by a preponderance of the evidence, sc the 
question presented for review is not a question of law, but is 
purely a question of fact, namely, whether the evidence supports 
the allegatioios of the bill so as tc entitle appellant to the re- 
lief sought. 

The evidence shows that on March 20, 1902, the A. Boyer Broom 
Company, a corporation, was engaged in the maruifacture of brooms 
in the city of Galesburg, Knox county, and occupied a building

located, on the real estate in question, which real estate was the 
property of x. Beyer. On thj.t date Boyer entered into a written 
contract with the officers of the cor oor.tion, hy the terms of 
which, he contracted to deed the real estate to the cor oration 
for |7000.00, payable $150.00 cash, and the halance at the rate of 
|50,00 per month. Si ortly afterwards, Bullock beoace the oresi- 
dent of the corporation, and Johnson, liodelle, .^iken and iiamp 
became the directors, and Ora Gumiinghauj v/as the secretary. The 
payments, as provided in the contract, were iiade out of the funds 
of the corporation frcm 1902 to 1907, when Beyer died, and after 
his death some few payments were made, but shortly after his death 
defatilt was made in these payments. It is claimed by appellant 
that this default was purposely uade by the appellees so as to get 
the title to the property in their own name to the injury of the 
corporation, but we think this contention is not sustained by the 
evidence. On the contrary the evidence sho^vs that at that time 
the corporation was not successful, but v/as in financial distress, 
and unable to make the payments on the contract. ^.Ibert J. Perry, 
as executor mider the will of Boyer, at the February term, 1908, 
of the circuit court of KnOx county, began suit to forfeit the con- 
tract. Ilo defense was made to the suit and a judgment was entered 
for possession of the premises. On February 19, 1908, the direct- 
ors of the corporation passed a resolution waiving the issuing of 
a writ of possession, and they surrendered possession of the 
property to the executor. Subsequently an attem.it was made to 
raise the bal nee of the amount due on the contract and to redeem 
the property. To that end, application was made by the corporation 
to the Mechanics Homestead and loan Association, of (Jalesburg, for 
a loan of |2500.00, but the application of the corporation was re- 
fused unless the premises were deeded to the individual directors 
of the corporation and the loan was made to them ae individuals. 
On April 7, 1908, the executor made a deed for the premises to 
Bullock, Johnson, Hodelle, Ramp and Ailien, which deed included, 
not only the real estate, but all the engines, boilers, machinery.

fixtxires, tools and apparatus contained in the building used as a 
factory, whether the same were permanently attached to the building 
or not. .fter this deed was executed, the five grantees executed 
a mortgage to the Mechanics Homestead and Loan Association for 
$2500«00« The monthly dues and interest on this loan were $25. 00. 
The corporation continued to occupy the premises after this loan 
was made and, to a certain extent, operated its business and paid 
the $25,00 monthly dues and interest togdther with the taxes, from 
1908 until 1915, when default v/as made hy it in the payment of the 
dues and interest. There is a conflict in the evidence as to these 
payments. Appellant contends that they were made out of the fuzids 
of the corporation and were evidence of its ownership of the pro- 
perty, while appellees claim that appellees were the real owners 
of the property and these payments were made merely as rent while 
the corporation occupied the premises. In January, 1915, the cor- 
poration ceased to pay the dues, interest and taxes, and shortly 
thereafter it quit doing business, and its personal property v/as 
sold and*the proceeds were applied to the payment of its debts. 
The building remained empty until 1919, when a^vpellees sold and 
conveyed it to C. T. Childers. 

The indebtedness of the corporation to appellant was for 
broom corn sold b^ him to the corporation, the first delivery 
being in March, 1914, and the last delivery being on January 25, 
1915. Payment was made to appellant for this broom corn by notes, 
which were the basis of appellant's judgment. Appellant testified 
that, at the tiioB the ¥room corn was delivered, he was told by 
Bullock, the preisdent, and Ora Cunningham, the secretary, that the 
premises in question were the property of the corporation, but 
this is denied by both the ore^dent and the secretary. 

These are substantially the facts as they appear in the evi- 
dence, and the question for determination is whether these facts 
were sufficient to establish appellant's case and entitle him to 
the relief sought. We have given to this evidence the careftil con- 
sideration which it deserves and have reached the same conclusion

annoxinced ty the xasator jind the charicallcr. uur attention is not 
called tc any pljice in the evidence which ahov.a tho actu^.l value of 
this real estate. The evidence shows thiit the i:.achinory of the 
corporation was of verj- little valiie and vc ■ 1g noney was 

realized from its stly. Over twenty yea:s:s c^to , the proiilaos were 
contracted for a^la on the basis of ;|7000,00, but there is nothing 
to show whether the oreraises wore really v/orth thut anioimt ut th: t 
tiiaa. Only ClSO.OO v/as i>aid in cash and tha halaiioe <^t '50.00 per 
month, which was probably not ciore than what the rent vvould be. 
x'ayBents were isade from 11/02 to 1907, the exact dates not .^lipouring. 
Daring that tinie, if all paysneiits .ere i^&de for the full five years, 
they would only aiiiOunt to 03000.00, in addition to the cash ptiy- 
ment of ^150»00« Of this sISloO.OO, posaibly the greater part 
would naturally be applied on interest, and the balance on the 
principal of the debt. .ppellont contendy that when the deed was 
made by the SKecutor to the five appellees tho debt was reduced 
to f2§00,00, and consequently -^4600. 00 KSist hftve been paid by the 
corooration on the contract, but this contention is not sustained 
by the evidence. It is true tho loan to the Mechanics Horsestead 
and Loan .asocivition was for ;:E500.00, but hov; this bai;:^rioe T?as 
determined ^a cannot say, but apparently it was not because of 
$4500»00 having been imid on the Boyer ccntract. Vihon the trunii- 
fer was irade by the executor to the five appellees, it waa apparent- 
ly neceaaary so to dc. The corporation hiid nade defioilt xuader the 
Boyer contract, and the irlechanics Honiestead and Loan Aaeociation 
would not rn&ke a loan tc the corporation, which v/ae in financial 
distress and without credit* It was only by reason of tho fact 
that the appellees pledged their individu.^-! credit that the 
presjises did not, at that time, become the absolute pro;)erty of the 
Boyer estate. It certainly cannot be sucoessfally oonte^ded that 
this transfer rsade in 1908, alinost seven years before iprjellant's 
indebtedness was incurred, wae lasde for the ajnoee of defrauding 
appellant and depriving him of the Boney due him from the cor- 
poration. Considerable stress is laid by appellant on tho fact

that eifter the loan vjus made to the Meohanics Homestead and Loan 
Association that the $25400 .per month, together with the taxes, 
were paid hy the corporation, but during all this time the cor- 
poration occupied the premises and appellees claim these payments 
were in the nature of rent. We cannot say this contention is not 
vonsistent with all the facts in the case. Bullock testified 
that the corporation paid the dues and taxes on the real estate 
as long as it had the money so to do, and it only ceased to pay 
them "because it did not have the fands . He also testified that 
when default was made, the Mechanics Homestead and Loan association 
instituted suit, and the appellees were compelled to pay the dues 
and interest from iiim that time on. He testified he paid about 
$1300.00 as his share of the debts of the corporation, and after 
January, 1916, he and his associates paid the taxes, dues, inter- 
est, and other amounts due, from 1915 to 1919. -HJven if it be con- 
ceded, for the saice of argument, that the title was held in trust 
for the corporation, appellant would not be entitled to a first 
lien ahead of the appellees vvho had caid out various sujiis on the 
debts of the corporation before appellant became a creditor. 
On October 3, 1906, the corporation conveyed to Aiken a 
part of the real estate described in the bill as Lot 15 in Beyer's 
Subdivision, for a stated consideration of f 1600. 00, and on Novem- 
"ber S4, 1909, a second deed was executed by the corporation to 
Aiken for the same property, the second deed being made for the 
purpose of correcting a mistake in the first deed, the considera- 
tion being omitted from that instriunent. The bill alleged that 
thes'e deods were fraudulent and void, were made v/ithout considera- 
tion, and that Aiken now holds the property in trust for the bene- 
fit of the corporation. The only evidence in the record as to 
,4.heSe conveyances shows that Lot 15 v;as purchased for the corpora- 
tion "by Aiken without authority of the directors; that Lot 15 
never in fact belonged to the corporation, and afterwards the 
directors required Aiken to take the property, and the conveyance

was made to Mm for that purpose. The ut ster found that the cor- 
poration was never henef ioially seized of Lot 15, and that these 
conveyances were wholly immaterial in this litigation. Prom our 
examination of the evidence we hold that the master was fully 
justified in this finding. 

The hill is based upon the fiduciary relation of these 
appellees to the corporation, and alleged that the acts of the 
appellees were fraudulent and void, and were for the par pose of 
converting the property to tho use of the a.ppellees to the injury 
of appellant and the creditors. The most of the evidence consists 
of documents and the testimony of Bullock and Ora Cunningham. 
Praud is not to he presumed. Something wore than a mere suspicion 
is required to prove an allegation of fraud. The evidence must be 
clear and cogent and must leave the mind satisfied that the charge 
is true. Where an act mey be traced to an honest intent as well 
as to a corrupt on;, the former is to be preferred* In order to 
avoid a deed for fraud both the vendor and the vendee must be 
shown to have intended to commit the fraud. They must both be 
gQilty of the connivance and the intent, .^ultman & Ts{7lor Co. vs. 
Weir, 84 111. ^i-pp. 615; Berkey ob Gray Furniture Co. vs. Thein, 
89 111. App. 207; Hatch vs. Jordon, 74 111. 414; Dickerson vs. 
^ans, 84 111. 451; Dexter vs. liCcJfee, 163 111. 508. \,e are of 
the opinion that the evidence fails to sustain the allegations 
of the bill; that it fails to show that aopellees were guilty of 
the fraud charged agaiiB t them; that it fails to show that the 
real estate in question is the property of the corporation and 
subject to the payment of appellant's judginent. J'or these 
reasons the bill was properly dismissed for vmnt of equity. 

There is another reason why the bill was proiperly dismissed. 
The deed from the executor of Bo^er v/as to Bullock, .-.iken, Johnson, 
Rodelle and Hamp, and all of them v;ere made parties defendant to 
the bill, which was filed to the February term, 1917. Aiken died

dismissed as to him. Bamp died in 1911, before the bill was filed, 
but the bill was not dismissed as to him. Kcne of the heirs of 
either Aiken or Hamp were made parties defendant. Affirmative re- 
lief was prayed against both ..iken and iiamp. Both of them, if 
they were living or their heirs if they were dead, v/ere neeessary 
parties to the bill. These parties were entitled to their day in 
court, and a decree could not be entered against their interests 
without a hearing. This real estate could not be subjected to 
the payment of appellant's debt without a finding by the court 
that the conveyance to -.iLen and Ramp was in trust for the cor- 
poration. Because of a lack of necessaiy parties, the court was 
without jurisdiction to grant the entire relief prayed for in the 
bill, even though the evidence amply sustained the allegations 
of the bill. 

For the reaons indicated, the decree will be affirmed.

Stanley Bishop » of Late 

laalntiff ia ;:rror, 

PartlovK, J« 

The plaintiff ia error, Stanley liahop, was found guilty t^ 
& ^ury in the- county court of Laice aount:/ under th-3 3o7onth, 
eighth, iiinth and tenth oounts of an Infornjation oharging the 
violation of the prohibition \ct. -fter the vordiot, the 3i?hth 
and tenth counts were nollied by tlie State's .ttox'nay, and the 
plaintiff in error was aontenoed under the aovanth count, which 
charged an unlawful attempt to cianafacture intascicutiag; liquor, 
and under the ninth oount, which ohargod the unli:.wfal operation of 
a still. To review the judgment x'OKdored upon the Tordiot, a writ 
oi error has heen prosecuted froii tlois court. 

It ia urged that tho evidence does not sustain the verdict. 
The evidanae shows th^-t on oeptea'oor 8, 19£1, the plaintiff in error 
lived at 1409 Victcriu street, ilorth Ohicago, Lake county. On thut 
date C. A. Brone, a eonstahle, and K. A. '.ealo, with a BOarch 
warrant for the precdaea, which were owned by the plaintiff in 
error, went to the house of the plaintiff in errox' axid found hii;. 
standing on the front poreh. When ha saw the officers hi ?;ent into 
the houae and rim w^ay. The officers went into the building, nisde 
a search and found a coffee pot containing v/hiskey, and in the 
haseisent they found a gaa stove x?ith a copper atiil on it. There 
was a barrel of com laash, several large nsilk ooris fall of liquor, 
a rubber hose and similar articles. In the basenant they found u 
Ban by the naiio of Tony ?eiza. The officers testified th.;.t the 
plaintiff in orror, at the tiae they arrested him, admitted that 
he was trying to i:^zaifacture intoxicating liquor. They also

in his hand, and he threw the ocntento of the ciot ovor the ,)oroh 
rail acd Trent intc a store nc::t doci* to hia houee ai'id suid to tho 
storalceeper thi.t he was again arreated, or wordu to thtit effect. 
The witnoaeeo for the Stnte testified that they tasted the oon- 
tentsi of thoso exhibits toad that they oonteJ.}iod intoxiottir^ liquor. 
Tona Pasa wac called .'^s a witneas for the pliiintiff in error, and 
testified thi^t he wss tho ownor of the still, and that ho Wi^e m/ai:- 
ing liqtior for his own use on the precieoe of the plaintiff in 
error, who had no knowlodgo of thit fact, xhe plaintiff in eri-or 
teatified that ho did not p^rtioiorto in the manufacture of the 
liquoi', and did not know that Paaa was iaanuft^eturing liquor in 
hia residence. The otorsiceo^xsr next door, in rebuttal, testified 
that v?hile the officora \7t5re ssai'ching tho preaiaes, the plaintiff 
in error came into the store con:ftiaed and excited said excl&iriiod 
"Tliey got cao, they got rae" . 

It is insisted by the plaintiff in error th.it thin evidence 
was not sufficient to prove, beyond a. reasonable doubt, th-t he was 
operating a still, or that he was attempting to roanufacture in- 
toxicating liquor, but, on the contrary, the evidence shovi?a that 
it was Ijeing :nannfactured by another isan v.'ithout hie knowledge .uid 
consent. iJicaply becauae the witneoseB for the defend<-nt in error 
testified to ona state of fa,eta and tho witnesses for the ;>l^xin- 
tiff in error testified to another state of facts entirely differ- 
ent therefrom, it does not necessarily follow that the defendant 
in error failed to EJ&ke out u case beyond a reasonable doubt. It 
is the speci&l proTinoe of the Jury to weigh the evidence ixi the 
light of i*!! the f&ets and cinniKStanoee and determine where the 
truth is. After a Jury has thus detarffiined where the tmth is, 
the verdict will not be sat aside unless the court can say that 
it is plainly against the weight of the evidence. People vs.

the ;Jury had a right to determine that it was highly imorohaltle 
that the manufacture of liquor was "being carried on in the plain- 
tiff in error's ho-ase, on such a large scale, v/ithout his knov;- 
ledga and consent ty ?aza, v;ho did not live there, and merely went 
there, as he testified, so ho could use the gas stove. If the 
jury "believed the witnesses for the defendant in error rather than 
the evidence on hehalf of plaintiff in error, which they had a 
right to do. they were justified in finding the plaintiff in error 
guilty under the seventh and ninth counts. vVe think: the guilt of 
the plaintiff in error Wi.3 properly estalilished hy the evidence. 

A search warrant, which was in the possession of the officers 
when they v^rent to the plaintiff in error's house, was offered in 
evidence by the defendant in error. The plaintiff In error 
objected to it on the ground that there was no proof of the filing 
of a sworn complaint before the warrant v»a3 issued, and that the 
warrant was not in the form provided by the statute. The objection 
was overruled and the warrant v/as admitted. Later on the question 
again arose relative to this warrant, and counsel for plaintiff in 
error objected to it because it did not prove anything, and was 
misleading to the jury, whereupon it was withdravvn by the defendant 
in error, and the court annoxinced that the question relative to the 
search warrant v/ould be covered by an instruction to the jury, but 
no instmction was given. Plaintiff in error insists that the 
v/arrant was defective; was improperly adrratted in evidence; that 
its v/ithdrawal did not cure the error; and that exhibits improperly 
secured tinder it by the witnesses for the defendant in error were 
introduced in evidence. 

The difficulty with this contention is that there is nothing 
in the record to sustain the a^ntention, except that a search 
warrant was admitted in evidence and afterwards withdrawn. The 
warrant is not in the record so we can inspect it and determine 
whether or not it was defective, or was improperly admitted in 
evidence. The evidence shows that at the time the officers went 
to the plaintiff in error's house they had a search v/arrant.

The warrant was not read to the jury and we cannot see how its 
admission end siib sequent withdrav;al injured the plaintiff in error. 
It is nowhere pointed out in what respect it did not comply with 
the statute, oections 30 and 21 of the "x'rohibition Act, chapter 43, 
do not provide that the conijlaint, affidavit and v.'arrant shall con- 
sist of one instrument, i'he complaint and affidavit are filed with 
the court issuing the warrant, while the warrant is delivered to the 
officer charged li^th its execution. If the complaint and affidavit 
were not filed as provided hy the statute, and the vi-arrant »vas 
issued without a sm'om complaint htiving heei filed, that fact should 
have heen shown* If the dafendazit in error did not see fit to prove 
it, then the plaintiff in error had the right to do so. The mere 
statement of the plaintiff in error that the warrant was defective, 
without the record so showing, was not sufficient to raise the 
question in this court of its sufficiency. I'ot only ie the record 
silent on this point, hut there is no showing in the record that 
any injury was sustained by the plaintiff in error, even if the 
warrant was improperly issued. Several exhihits, including the 
still, gas stove, harrel of mash, mills: cans, and liquor, were 
admitted in evidence. The abstract shows that th^'were all 
offered together as exhibits 1 to 10, inclusive, except exhibit S, 
which was the warrant. The fahstraot show's that a general object- 
ion was made to all of these exhibits. There ?/as no special ob- 
jection on the ground that some or all of them v/ere improperly se- 
cured under the search warrant. Some of the exhibits may have been 
admissible and others may not have he.en. The general objection v;as 
not sufficient to preserve the point now sought to be raised. There 
should have been a spscial objection so that the court could ha-ve 
ruled specifically on the point and so the defendant in error 
could, if necessary, have introduced other evidence to cover the 
objection. The record is in such a condition that the question 
novi/ sought to be raised was not preserved for review in this court. 
If the plaintiff in error desired to have that question covered by

aJi instruction as indioated "by thg court at the tice the search 
warraat v/as v/ithdrawn, such an instruction should have been offer- 
ed by the plaintiff in error, which he did not do, and for that 
reason he cannot now complain of his own oniission. 

On the examination of Ira otevens , as a ^^ror, he stated 
that, in a liquor case, he woiild not requiro s.s convincing- proof 
to find the defendant guilty as he would in a ciurder case; that he 
did not consider the tf/o cases of equal importance, and that he 
might he more easil.y convinced in a liquor case than in a cmrder 
case. The plaintiff in error then challsng-ed the ^uror for cause, 
and in response to a question from the court tho juror said that 
he felt that he could render a fair and impartial verdict in the 
case, and that he would follow/ the law and the evidence. The court 
then overruled the challenge and the plaintiff in error excu.sed 
the Juror peremptorily. In his place Charles W. Brockway was call- 
ed, and the plaintiff in error challenged him on the ground that 
Stevens should have teaa excused for cause, hut this challenge 
was also overiU-led. The plaintiff iii error contends that because 
of these rulings he was imprc^erly compelled to he tried by Brock- 
way, who v/as a hostile juror. There are several reasons ,, these 
alleged errors cannot he sustained. The first one is that the 
answers of Stevens, taken as a whole, showed that he was a com- 
petent Juror. Eg merely/ said that he did not consider a liquor 
case and a murder case to he of equal importance, tut he altjo said 
that he could and would give the plaintiff in error a fair and 
impartial trial, and would he governed hy the lav/ and the evidence. 
These answers were sufficient to Justify the court in overruling 
the challenge for- cause. The nest reason is tliat when Stevens 
was excused and Brockivay called, the latter was challenged on the 
ground that Stevens should hs,ve been exciised. The ruling as to 
Stevens was no ground, in the absence of other reasons, for the 
challenge of Brockway. The examination of Brock^.-ay doss not 
appear in the abstract, emd he rjay have teen in every respect

In rebutt j- , the man who ke )t .u store next door acuth 
of the oremises of )1. intiff in error was called taid iestiiied 
tobertain remarks of the )laiijtiff in error in the store at 
the time of his arrest. The plaintiff in error insists that 
this evidence was improperly adinitted because the naiue of this 
witness had not been furnished to the plaintiff in error orior 
to the trial, oeetion 1, subdiTrisicn 13, chaoter 38, of the 
statutes provided thut in all felony cases the defendant shall 
be furnished with a list of the witnesses, and in all other 
cases he shall, at his request, be furnished with a list of the 
witnesses. The charge against the olaintiff in error was not 
a felony, but was a misdemeanor. He had, hov/ever, requested a 
list of the witnesses and it had been furnished. The furnish- 
ing of a list of witnesses, even in felony cases, does not 
preclude the calling of witnesses whose names hci.Ye not been 
furnished to the defendant. It had been held in a long line 
of cases that the right to call v/itnesses whose names are not 
on the list furnished is a matter of discretion v/ith the 
trial court, even in felony cases, i^eoole vs. 6teinhsuser, 
248 111. 46, and the same rule is applicable to misdeafflanors.

has also been held tliat this section of the statute aoes net apply- 
to witiiesses called in rebuttal. The oourt did not coumit error 
in permitting the witneas to testify in rebuttal* 

Complaint is ^ade of the twelfth, fifteenth and tv/enty-first 
instractions given on behiilf of defendant in error, and of the 
refusal of the ccui-t to give seven instructicns offered by the 
plaintiff in orior. The twelfth instruction Vi/as vdth reference to 
the 7/eight to be given to the evidence of the defendant, and 
announced the c-.rrect rul3 of law, and waa substantially the sarr;e 
as the thirteenth instruction offered by the plaintiff in error 
and refused. The fifteenth instruction merely recited the various 
sections of the Prohibition ^ct under which the prosecution was 
"based, and our attention is not called to any restject in ^^hich the 
provisions of the lav/ ivere not properly araiiounced in the instruct- 
ion. The twenty-first instruction defined the term reasonable 
doubt as approved on jmanj' occasions, aiid for that reason it was 
not necessary to give the first instiniction refused, v/hich was on 
the t;aiDe subj'ect. The other five instructions refused on behalf of 
the plaintiff in error were covered by other instructions given. 
From our examination of the instruotionB we are of the opinion they 
fully covered all propositions of law necessary for the informa- 
tion of the Jui-y in deteimining the gTiilt or innocence of the 
plaintiff in error. 

The seventh count of the information charged the plaintiff 
in error with an unlawfiil attempt to manufacture into2:ioating 
liquor, and the court sentenced the plaintiff in error to paty a 
fine of two hundred dollars and to be imprisoned in the county 
jail for sixty days. The Prohibition Act provides no punishment 
for an attempt to inanufaoture intoxicating liquor, so the punish- 
ment v;as controlled by tho provisions of section 610, chapter 38, 
Cahill's stat'ate, page 1275, which provides that where an attempt 
is made to couinlt an offense prohibited by law and no punishment 
is otherwise provided, the offender, upon conviction, where the 
offense is not a felony, shall be by fine not exceeding three
