Opinion of the Court
This action was brought to recover damages for false imprisonment. The plaintiff recovered a verdict for $500, and the defendant appealed from an order denying its motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict or for a new trial. There are numerous assignments of error, but the only real question involved is the sufficiency of the evidence to sustain the verdict.
The evidence was conflicting, and it was for the jury to determine whether the plaintiff’s story was true. If the plaintiff told the truth, the arrest was made at the instance of the defendant company without a warrant some time
Order affirmed.
