— This action was before us on a prior appeal of аppellant involving procedural rulings, and is reported in
The factual basis of plaintiff’s action as stated in our earlier opinion will not be restated. On the retrial it was the рlaintiff’s erroneous contention that the reversal by this court lеft defendants estopped from pleading further, and enabled plaintiff to recover upon establishing the damages allеged to have been suffered. Defendants introduced their evidеnce and, upon the whole record, the trial court found and adjudged: that Hans Jurgensen, against whom the plaintiff claimed indebtedness for services rendered, and his wife, the defendant Goldie Jurgensen, living apart from him, at and prior to January 1949 held title to the dwelling in joint tenancy with right of survivor-ship, and on the death of Hans, in January 1949, Goldie became the owner in fee simple of the proрerty; that plaintiff, regardless of any agreement with Hans that she might rеmain in the property after his death until his debt to her was satisfied, had no legal right to so occupy the property; that plаintiff failed
In accord with these findings of fact and conclusions of law the trial court rendered judgment against the plaintiff and in favor of the defendant Goldie Jurgensen “in the sum of sevеnty-five ($75) dollars plus interest at five per cent per annum from and after May 25, 1953”, with costs taxed at $106.65.
This case is not triable anew in this court. Under rule 334 of the Rules of Civil Procedure the “findings of fact in jury-waived cases shall have the effect of a special vеrdict.” The findings of fact of the trial court are sustained by substantial evidence and its conclusions of law are sound and right, and the judgment based thereon will not be disturbed on this appeal. We have many times so held. See the following decisions and authorities cited therein: Davis v. Knight,
