Larson v. Slette
Minnesota Supreme Court
Larson v. Slette, 125 Minn. 270 (Minn. 1914)
146 N.W. 1095
Dibell
Larson v. Slette
Opinion of the Court
The defendant appeals from an order denying his motion for a new trial.
The case was tried to the Gourt without a jury. The court found that in March, 1906, one Louis Iverson came into possession of a check for $99.90 which belonged to the plaintiff; that the defendant Slette represented himself to be the agent of the plaintiff Larson, and authorized Iverson to retain the money for his own use; that Iverson did retain it; that Iverson was at all times insolvent; that Slette at no time had authority from the plaintiff to direct the application of the money; and that because of such representation and the appropriation of the money by Iverson the plaintiff lost it.
The evidence is in dispute and the findings are justified.
Order affirmed.
