Helen Punke v. Harry Brody

Plaintiff claims that she was injured June 12, 1953, when she slipped on the front steps of a building located in Milwaukee
and owned by Harry Brody. Plaintiff attempted to bring this action for damages against Brody. Service of summons and complaint was attempted June 11,
1955, in Milwaukee, by delivery of copies to 'Nathan Altman, Agent for Harry Brody.' Counsel appeared specially for Brody,
objecting to the court's jurisdiction over him. Later, after sec. 262.17, Stats.1957, became effective, Brody answered, alleging
that personal service had not been made upon him and that Altman was not authorized to accept service. He sought dismissal
for want of jurisdiction.
