Garnishment proceedings by Malinda Bambrick against Bambrick Bros. Construction Company, garnishee of John Bambrick. Judgment for plaintiff. Garnishee appeals. Reversed and remanded.
T. J. Rowe, Henry Rowe, and Thomas J. Rowe, Jr., for appellant. Frank A. Habig, E. G. Curtis, T. P. Young, and F. A. MacManus, for respondent.
This was a proceeding on an execution in favor of Malinda Bambrick and against John Bambrick Issued from the circuit court of the city of St. Louis returnable to the October term, 1906. On the return of the execution, on October 2, 1906, plaintiff filed certain interrogatories. On October 8, 1906, Bambrick Bros. Construction Company, a corporation, filed its answer, as garnishee, to plaintiff's interrogatories, in which it was stated that the garnishee paid the defendant, John Bambrick, at the rate of $75 per month for all services rendered by him to said garnishee, and that his wages is paid monthly in advance on the first day of each month. On October 23, 1906, plaintiff filed her amended denial to the garnishee's answer. On motion of the garnishee, a portion of it was stricken out, leaving, substantially, the following: Plaintiff states that she obtained a judgment against the defendant, John Bambrick, on the 6th day of March, 1899, for support and maintenance, whereby it was ordered that he pay to the plaintiff the sum of $50 for the first month, and the further sum of $25 a month thereafter, but that defendant had paid nothing on said judgment. It is alleged that John Bambrick is the president of the Bambrick Bros. Construction Company, garnishee herein, and receives a monthly salary of $300; that the said garnishee has entered into an agreement with the said John Bambrick and pays him in pursuance thereof $75 per month, in advance; that the balance of his said salary of $300 per month is paid to other officers of the garnishee for his use; that the agreement entered into between the garnishee and the said John Bambrick to pay the said John Bambrick the sum of $75 per month in advance, as set out in garnishee's answer, was made with a fraudulent intent to defraud plaintiff out of her claim against the defendant and hinder and delay and defraud plaintiff in the collection of said claim; that the garnishee had full knowledge at the time it entered into said agreement of such indebtedness and made and entered into said agreement for the purpose of defrauding the plaintiff in the collection of her debt; that John Bambrick had been in the employ of the garnishee as president since the 5th day of September, 1905. Plaintiff asked judgment against the garnishee for the sum of $1,200. There was also a second count as to stock having been issued to the defendant and dividends paid on account of such stock; but, as on the trial no claim was made under this count, it is unnecessary to set it out. On December 13, 1906, the garnishee filed a reply to the amended denial, as follows (caption omitted):
At the trial, the court, at plaintiff's instance, gave the following instruction: "The court instructs the jury that in case you find and believe from the evidence that John Bambrick entered into an agreement to receive a salary of $75 a...
