Description
CAYTON, Chief Judge. The parties to this appeal are brother and sister. The brother, appellee here, sued his sister for wrongful conversion of partnership funds. He charged that despite the fact that he owned with her a one-half partnership interest in a beauty parlor business, she sold the business for $5500 without his authority or knowledge and failed to pay him his half interest amounting to $2750. The defendant filed an answer in which she asserted only one defense: that she was the sole owner of the business and that her brother never was in partnership with her or owned any interest therein. The jury awarded its verdict to plaintiff and this appeal by defendant followed. Twenty-seven errors are assigned which we shall group and decide in a smaller number. The trial extended over a week and the proceedings are reflected in a transcript almost a thousand pages long. We cannot here recite the evidence in detail but shall refer only to such testimony as has a direct bearing on the errors assigned.
