Olathe Ready-Mix Co., Inc. v. Frazier

The opinion of the court was delivered by This is an action brought by the plaintiff, Olathe Ready-Mix
Company, Inc., on an open account, arising from the sale of
ready-mix concrete to the defendant, Gary Frazier. The trial
court entered judgment in favor of plaintiff against Gary Frazier
in the amount of $5,034.32 and Gary Frazier has appealed. The sole point raised on appeal is that the trial court erred
in admitting into evidence certain of plaintiff's business
records without identification by their custodian. At the trial
Lewis Thompson, an employee of plaintiff in charge of business
accounts, identified certain records as invoices on shipments of
concrete made from plaintiff to defendant. Defendant objected to
their admission on the ground that Thompson was not the
custodian, since he had to obtain them from plaintiff's
bookkeeper.
