Plaintiff brought suit seeking damages for loss alleged to have been sustained through the act of the defendant in the matter of collecting a cashier's check for $ 3180 payable to plaintiff and issued by the First State Bank of Cunningham, Kansas. A jury was waived, and the cause was tried by the court, resulting in the court's finding in favor of the Union Avenue Bank of Commerce and against the plaintiff, and in favor of the plaintiff against the defendant, Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City. From this judgment the said defendant Federal Reserve Bank has appealed.
The petition alleged, among other things, that on or about August 22, 1925, plaintiff was the owner of a collection account with the defendant, Union Avenue Bank of Commerce, and on said date plaintiff deposited with said bank for collection a cashier's check for $ 3180 issued by the First State Bank of Cunningham, Kansas, drawn on itself, dated August 21, 1925, and payable to plaintiff; that at the time of such deposit, plaintiff endorsed said check "Pay to the order of Union Avenue Bank of Commerce, Kansas City, Missouri;" that the amount of said check was thereupon credited to plaintiff's account; that on or about the 22nd day of August, 1925, the Union Avenue Bank endorsed and delivered said check to Commerce Trust Company for transmission through the Kansas City Clearing House and to be delivered to the defendant for collection; that on August 22, 1925, the Commerce Trust Company endorsed and delivered said cashier's check to the defendant Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, for collection; that on or about August 25, 1925, defendant endorsed said cashier's check on the back as follows: "Pay to the order of any bank or banker or trust company, prior endorsement guaranteed, August 25, 1925, Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City," and--"thereupon carelessly and negligently forwarded the same direct to the First State Bank of Cunningham, Kansas, for collection and payment, upon receipt of which said bank stamped said check paid and issued its draft in payment therefor drawn on the Federal Trust Company of Kansas City, Missouri, and forwarded the same to the defendant Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, Missouri.
