v.FESLER, County Auditor, et al.

No. 10500.

Appellate Court of Indiana, Division No. 2.

Oct. 8, 1920.

Appeal from Circuit Court, Hamilton County; Ernest E. Cloe, Judge.

Action by Edwin J. Roberts against Leo K. Fesler, as Auditor of Hamilton County, Ind., and others. From judgment for defendants, plaintiff appeals. Reversed, without prejudice, with direction to grant plaintiff new trial.

Russell T. MacFall, Chas. W. Smith, Chas. Remster, Henry H. Hornbrook, and Albert P. Smith, all of Indianapolis, and Cassius M. Gentry and Frank S. Campbell, both of Noblesville, for appellant.

McMAHAN, C. J.

Appellant having shown prima facie error the failure of appellee to file brief will, under the authority of Burroughs v. Burroughs, 180 Ind. 380, 103 N. E. 1, be treated as a confession of error.

Judgment is therefore reversed without prejudice, with direction to grant appellant a new trial.
