Goltra v. People
Illinois Supreme Court
Appeal from the Circuit Court of Champaign county; the Hon. A. J. Gallagheb, Judge, presiding.
1Opinion of the CourtJustice Lawrence
The husband of Almira E. Goltra having been killed on the Illinois Central Kailroad, the company paid to her, as administratrix of her deceased husband, the sum of $1400. She refuses to account to his children for any portion of this money, and this suit is brought for their use, against her and her sureties, to recover their share thereof. Judgment was rendered in the circuit court for $933.34, being two-thirds of the sum, and the defendants appealed. They deny the liability of the sureties on the bond, on the ground that the money was not assets in the hands of the administratrix.
