Kinman v. Grousky

LOCKWOOD, C.J. E. Grousky, hereinafter called plaintiff, brought suit against Bertha S. Kinman, an individual, and Bertha S. Kinman, as guardian of the estates of Thelma Illena Sample and John S. Sample, minors, hereinafter called defendants, to recover the value of certain property of his which he alleged had been converted by defendants. Defendants answered admitting that they were in possession of the property which plaintiff alleged they had converted, but claiming that they held it as security for rent by virtue of a landlords lien. The case was tried to a jury, which returned a verdict in favor of plaintiff in the sum of $500, and this appeal was taken.
