Hart v. Olson

Claiming that the defendant’s decedent, H. O. Hanson, did by an alleged gift transfer the same to him, one Frederick B. Brown commenced this action to establish his title and to obtain possession of the funds represented by certain bank books contained in a certain safe deposit box. Later the defendant answered. Still later an order was made substituting Fred B. Hart as plaintiff. The action was tried before the court without a jury. The court made findings in favor of the defendant and the plaintiff has appealed and brought up a bill of exceptions. He attacks some of the findings.
