Morgenthaler v. Somers
Morgenthaler v. Somers
Opinion of the Court
In addition to tbe questions set out in tbe statement of facts tbe special verdict contained tbis unanswered question: “Did H. B. Harvey and E. W. Morgenthaler, on or about July 27, 1914, agree that, upon tbe promise that Som-ers would pay $600 in cash, tbe plaintiffs would settle their cause of action?” It will thus be seen that tbe issue as to whether tbe agreement was to accept tbe promise of Somers' to pay $600, or to accept that amount in cash or a bankable
Error is assigned because tbe court admitted conversations between plaintiff and Harvey subsequent to tbat of July 27, 1914. Harvey dealt with Somers at Cleveland and such conversations related either to Harvey’s refusal to pay or give a note signed by Somers or to other replies which Harvey received from Somers at Cleveland. We perceive no error in tbe reception of such evidence, as it related either to what such alleged compromise agreement was or whether or not it bad been executed.
By the Court. — Judgment affirmed.
