Ætna Indemnity Co. v. Malone

This is a suit to enjoin two police officers of the city of Lincoln from transferring money taken by them from burglars who procured it by robbing a bank, and to recover the fund thus taken on the ground that plaintiff had indemnified the bank against burglary, had paid the indemnity, and had succeeded to the rights of indemnitee. In addition to the police officers, the burglars were made defendants, and judgment against them for the full amount stolen was part of the relief demanded by plaintiff. In both particulars plaintiff prevailed, and defendants have appealed.
