Muller v. Guinn

Muller brought suit against Guinn to cancel the sale of a house for deceit. He was defeated and brings error. The judgment must be affirmed.

The ground of the action was false representations byGuinn concerning certain corporate stock which was part of the purchase price of the house. . The company was insolvent.
