COURT DIRECTS VERDICT
IN FAVOR OF PLAINTIFF
At Court yesterday Martin G.
Musser, of Salunga, sought to re-
cover the sum of $1,100 from P.
Franck Schock, an automobile deal-
er of this place, the price of an
automobile which plaintiff had giv-
en in part payment for a new car.
The court directed a verdict in fav-
or of plaintiff for $1,236.40.
It was claimed by Musser he had
traded the old car and had used the
[new one for several months until
lit was damaged in an accident. He
took it to Schock’s for repairs and
{when he went for it the defendant
iis alleged to have refused to give it
{to him unless a balance of over
| $400 was paid. Plaintiff claimed he
| was to pay this sum in
| for selling autos, while employed in
his spare time.
{ For the defense it was shown
the old car had been traded in for
1a new one and a note had been
| given for the difference in the price
{of the two cars. This was never
paid and after the accident when
[repairs had been made the car was
| refusel Musser until the balance
had been paid. It was alleged Muss-
er then sought to acquire the ear
by saying he was a minor and had
no right to enter into an agreement
| for an
ew car.
