Kirkpatrick v. Reeves
Indiana Supreme Court
From the Montgomery Circuit Court.
1Opinion of the Court
Elliott, C. J. —
The appellee’s complaint charges that the appellant induced him to buy a jackass by false and fraudulent representations, and on the issue joined the jury returned a general verdict in favor of the appellee. This verdict must control, unless the facts found in answer to interrogatories are utterly destructive of it. Grand Rapids, etc., R. R. Co. v. Ellison, 117 Ind. 234; Cincinnati, etc., R. R. Co. v. Clifford, 113 Ind. 460, and cases cited. No intendments can be made in aid of the answers to interrogatories, nor will they defeat the general verdict if they are contradictory…
