Steinbrenner v. Elder

The plaintiff brought this action to recover damages from the defendant, whom he charged with making a false certifi cate to a mortgage given by H. J. Morison to the plaintiff. The facts, in so far as it is necessary to state them, are that on August 15, 1922, the plaintiff loaned to Morison $1,100, taking from him eleven notes and a mortgage securing the same, purporting to be signed by Morison and his wife. The mortgage purported to cover lots in Daly’s addition to the city of Missoula, belonging to Morison, and lots in the Hammond addition to the city of Missoula, belonging to Mrs. Morison.
