Meinecke v. Skaggs

MR. JUSTICE ANGSTMAN:

Plaintiff’s complaint in this action consisted of two causes of action. The first was based upon her alleged wrongful arrest and detention. The second upon slander, consisting of the wrongful accusation of having stolen an article of merchandise from the store operated by defendants.

The jury returned a verdict in favor of defendants on the second cause of action.

Plaintiff’s motion for a new trial was denied and she has appealed from the judgment.
