51 Ind. App. 198 | Ind. Ct. App. | 1912
— This was an action in replevin, for possession of a piano, instituted by appellant, who failed to recover below, and contends in his motion for a new trial that the decision of the court is not sustained by sufficient evidence and is contrary to law. Appellant claimed the right to possession of the piano as the assignee of a chattel mortgage executed on it and other household goods by Lester A. Eckman. Appellee, after the execution of this mortgage, purchased the piano from Mrs. Ella Eckman, who then had the piano in her possession and was the apparent owner, and appellee paid to her a consideration at least equal in value, as shown by the evidence.
Judgment affirmed.
