Dorr v. Burkett

Opinion of the Court

CORE, J.

The evidence is all embodied in the transcript, and there is an entire absence of proof showing that the property in controversy was the property of the deceased. Besides this, it is shown that whatever intermeddling with the property was done by defendant was done as agent, in good faith, to aid a widow whose husband had then recently died in the army in securing and selling her property, and in the belief of her right to deal with it as she did.

Affirmed. |
