72 S.W.2d 529 | Ark. | 1934
This replevin action was instituted by appellee, Virginia C. Clement, against Ed Williams, et al., trustees for Pleasant Grove Baptist Church, colored, in the municipal court of Pine Bluff seeking possession of a certain piano. Appellee was successful in the municipal court and appellants appealed to the circuit court of Jefferson County wherein results were obtained not dissimilar to those in the municipal court, and this appeal is likewise prosecuted, which must result as in the lower courts. The facts are not in material dispute and may be summarized as follows:
Prior to 1932 appellee owned the piano in controversy; in January, 1932, she delivered it to Kohn Kohn Music Company of Pine Bluff for storage, the storage to be paid by use of the instrument for demonstration purposes. While the piano was thus stored, appellants representing the negro Baptist Church purchased same from Kohn Kohn Music Company paying full value therefor in cash, without notice of appellee's ownership or circumstances indicating her interest.
This case is ruled by Forest v. Benson,
No error appearing, the judgment is affirmed. *408
