Hill v. Kelsey

BOND, Justice.

The appellee Mrs. E. G. Kelsey, a married woman, instituted this suit against the Jefferson University, a corporation, Nick Dobbs, Andrew J. Priest, and J. H. Hill, to recover an indebtedness which she claims to be due her for furnishing meals and sleeping quarters for a squad of football players. Throughout the petition, it is alleged that she alone, as plaintiff, sustained the liability and damage, and that her husband was merely joined in the suit with her pro forma, without averring that he had abandoned her, or for any reason had refused to become a real party to the action.
