Appeal from Taylor County Court; Hon. E. M. Overshiner, Judge.
Action by E. E. Hall against George Renfroe and another. Judgment for plaintiff, and the named defendant appeals. Affirmed.
W. D. Wilson, of Spur, for appellant. Scarborough & Davidson, of Abilene, for appellee.
Hall, the appellee, sued Stiffler and George Renfroe, and alleged that he consigned to Stiffler a certain piano under a written contract, hereafter set out, the title to which remained in plaintiff; that Stiffler, prior to the contract of consignment, contracted with Renfroe to sell him a piano; Renfroe had paid Stiffler the consideration, and Stiffler then went to Abilene, made the contract with plaintiff, and obtained the piano, and afterwards delivered it on his (Renfroe's) debt; that Renfroe did not buy the piano, but held it as a pledge until Stiffler produced the piano which Renfroe had contracted and paid for; that Renfroe had no right of title or possession as against Hall, etc. Renfroe alone answered by general denial, and that Stiffler had possession of the piano and was the apparent owner, and, believing him to be the owner, he purchased it without notice or knowledge of plaintiff's right, title, or claim, and in good faith, for a valuable consideration; that, if Stiffler was the agent of plaintiff, that he delivered possession to Stiffler, and clothed him with the indicia of ownership; and that he bought in good faith, without notice, etc., and was an innocent purchaser, without any notice or knowledge of Stiffler's agency. The case was tried before the court, who rendered judgment for Hall for the piano and the rents due thereon, and filed the following findings of fact:
