Court | Wyoming Supreme Court |
ERROR to the District Court, Johnson County, HON. JOSEPH L. STOTTS Judge.
Robert Foote sued J. M. Stanley and caused an attachment to issue. Certain parties were summoned as garnishees in said action and answered, showing that they were indebted to the defendant. J. S. Stanley filed a petition of intervention claiming that the indebtedness was to him instead of the defendant. The matter was tried, and judgment was rendered against the intervenor. He prosecuted error. The other facts are fully stated in the opinion.
Judgment Modified.
Alvin Bennett and E. E. Enterline for plaintiff in error.
G. E. A. Moeller, for defendant in error.
On September 9, 1898, defendant in error, Robert Foote, commenced an action against defendant in error, J. M. Stanley, upon a promissory note, and secured a writ of attachment and order of garnishment upon the ground that "said defendant is about to convert his property, or a part thereof, into money, for the purpose of placing it beyond the reach of his creditors."
On September 19, 1898, J. M. Stanley, as defendant in the aforesaid action, filed his answer; first, admitting execution and delivery of note sued; second, denying payment as indorsed thereon; third, pleading statute of limitations; and thereafter a reply was filed denying the claim that statute of limitations had run. On September 20, 1898, upon an application made, an order of court was entered allowing J. S. Stanley to become a party to said action for the purpose of having his interest in the property involved therein determined; and he was given until October 15, 1898, to file his petition of intervention. On October 11, 1898, said J. S. Stanley, the plaintiff in error, filed his petition of intervention, alleging ownership of all property attached, and the proceeds thereof, $ 665, held by garnishee (a part not yet due), the same being the proceeds of the sale of said property. On November 15, 1898, the garnishee answered that he was indebted to the defendant, J. M. Stanley, as found by the court on the same day.
On November 15, 1898, upon an examination of garnishee being had, the court, after hearing the evidence presented, finds that the garnishee, J. A. Sonnamaker, is indebted to J. M. Stanley in the sum of six hundred and sixty-five dollars; that of said amount the sum of $ 100 is due, and of the remainder, a part will be due upon the delivery of the S. T. brand; and the remainder in one and two years from August, 1898, and rendered judgment that said garnishee pay the $ 100 found due, to the clerk of the court, subject to the order of the court, and be held for further answer.
On the 16th day of November, 1898, J. M. Stanley, by his testimony, presented to the court his motion to dissolve the attachment, and the record shows that evidence was adduced, and the court being fully advised in the premises, denies said motion, to which ruling defendant, J. M. Stanley, by his counsel, excepted. Then follows in the record this statement:
Subsequently, on the 3d day of May, 1899, Robert Foote, the plaintiff, in the proceedings above set forth, without objection of record, filed his amended answer to the petition of J. S. Stanley, the intervenor, as follows:
To which said answer intervenor, J. S. Stanley, on May 10, 1899, filed a general denial. On the same day, May 10, 1899, the cause was heard by the court upon the issues joined, and a decision was reserved until August 15, 1899, when the following judgment and decree was rendered:
