Parties | VERMILLION v. PARSONS (PARSONS, Intervener). |
Court | Missouri Court of Appeals |
Appeal from Circuit Court, Barry County, H. C. Pepper, Judge.
Attachment by J. U. Vermillion against L. C. Parsons, in which Mrs. L. C. Parsons interpleads, claiming title to the property. From a judgment for plaintiff, intervener appeals. Reversed.
Jos. French, for appellant. D. H. Kemp, for respondent.

We therefore overrule the appellant's contention that the evidence was insufficient to support the verdict.
There was another attachment action against Parsons, wherein J. R. Williams was plaintiff. On the trial of that action before a justice of the peace, Parsons testified about the ownership of the furniture contained in a hotel at Monett which he and Mrs. Parsons conducted; and the testimony he gave bore on the ownership of the property involved in the present controversy, on the trial of which in the circuit court Williams, the attaching plaintiff in the other case, was a witness for Vermillion. Williams was asked about what Parsons testified with reference to the title to the goods in question, and was permitted to answer that Parsons swore in the justice's court that he (Parsons) owned the attached goods, and nobody else had any claim on them. Respondent also put on the stand a witness named Clover, who was a juror in the Williams case, and asked him this question: "State what Mr. Parsons...
