Riedel v. C. R. Miller Mfg. Co.

Murl M. Riedel sued O. R. Miller Manufacturing Company, a corporation, to rescind two stock subscription contracts and to recover certain payments made thereon, on the ground that he was induced to make the contracts by false and deceitful representations.

Defendant filed a general denial and specially pleaded that its agent, who it was alleged made the false representations, was not authorized so to do and, in fact, had no authority to make any statement, promise, or agreement in selling its stock, other than as authorized by the terms of the written contracts entered into between the parties.
