The subject matter of the appeals herein and the parties to this action have been before this court on several previous occasions. A detailed history of the litigation appears in the opinion in Glissmann v. Bauermeister, 146 Neb. 197, 19 N. W. 2d 43. This history will not be repeated herein except to the extent that it is necessary in the ascertainment and determination of the issues properly presented and the disposition of matters, as will appear herein, already litigated and disposed of in this court and in the district and county courts of Douglas County, Nebraska.
On March 28, 1929, a lease and option agreement was entered into by and between Edmond H. Orchard who held title to certain land with improvements thereon in Douglas County, Nebraska, and Serena E. Grabow and John J. Grabow, her husband, whereby Orchard leased the lands to Serena E. Grabow. The lease granted to Serena E. Grabow an option to purchase. A statement of the other terms of the lease is unnecessary here. These parties are some of the parties to this proceeding. Orchard was referred to as Edmond H. Orchard in the agreement. The signature is E. H. Orchard. Harriet C. Orchard is named in the agreement but her signature was not appended thereto.
So that confusion may not arise attention is called to the fact that Orchard has spelled his Christian name E-d-m-o-n-d. Other parties have spelled it E-d-m-u-n-d. For the purposes of this opinion we will spell it in all instances E-d-m-o-n-d.
It was decreed by the district court for Douglas County, Nebraska, on June 6, 1930, that the lease and option was taken for the benefit of Tena E. Glissmann
As, an incident of the lease and option Serena E. Grabow made a written pledge to Edmond H. Orchard of an interest in the estate of Hans C. Glissmann, deceased, to insure performance of the lease and option. Her declaration of the pledge is the following: “Whereas, said contract provides that I am to put up as additional security for the faithful performance on my part of all the terms, conditions and stipulations in said contract $5500.00, the same being a part of my interest in the estate of my deceased father, Hans C. Glissman; * * This declaration of the pledge and its purpose appears not to be questioned and we think it is not vulnerable to question.
The agreement which provided originally for the pledge had no relation to Edmond H. Orchard but was an agreement made in furtherance of a plan of Henry C. Glissmann to float a bond issue the purpose of which was to finance the operation of the Valley View Golf Course on the lands herein involved. That deal failed of consummation and thereafter the agreement for the pledge became a pledge available to Edmond H. Orchard in case of default under the lease and option agreement.
The pledge, to the extent that exaction was made upon it by Edmond H. Orchard, inured to the benefit of Tena E. Glissmann, that is to say, if there was a default under the lease and option agreement and Edmond H. Orchard resorted to the pledge in whole or in part for payment wherein Tena E. Glissmann had defaulted then to that extent and in that amount the obligation of Tena E. Glissmann under the lease and option agreement would be reduced.
As an incident of the lease and option transaction Henry C. Glissmann, in order to cause Serena E. Grabow to pledge $5,500 of her interest in the estate of Hans C. Glissmann, assigned to Serena E. Grabow all of his interest in the estate of Hans C. Glissmann. Henry C.
At some time, the exact date of which is not made clear, Henry C. Glissmann appears to have transferred his interest in the lease to Tena E. Glissmann, his wife. Also in the assignment from Henry C. Glissmann to Serena E. Grabow it is provided that the lease and option agreement obtained by Serena E. Grabow should be assigned to Tena E. Glissmann. Therefore the litigation with regard to the lease and option was carried in her name and Henry C. Glissmann, her husband. Apparently on October 15, 1928, Henry C. Glissmann assigned his interest in the estate of his father to Tena E. Glissmann. This was prior to the assignment to Serena E. Grabow, but Tena E. Glissmann joined in this one so therefore the one to Serena E. Grabow took priority
During all of the period from the date of the lease and option until shortly after January 23, 1942, Tena E. Glissmann and Henry C. Glissmann remained in possession of the property. At about this time they were dispossessed.
In March 1938 Tena E. Glissmann instituted an action in equity whereto Edmond H. Orchard and Harriet C. Orchard, his wife, Serena E. Grabow and John J. Grabow, her husband, Henry C. Glissmann, Harold W. Glissmann, and Hans Glissmann became parties. The action as originally instituted was against Edmond H. Orchard and Harriet C. Orchard as parties defendant. The other parties were brought in later.
The action as originally instituted was for an accounting of the amount due Edmond H. Orchard from Tena E. Glissmann under the lease and option agreement hereinbefore referred to.
On being brought into the case Serena E. Grabow and John J. Grabow filed an answer and cross-petition. The only matter therein contained which it is needful to mention here is that these parties sought to have the court decree that the rights of Tena E. Glissmann under the lease and option had been forfeited, to have title quieted in Edmond H. Orchard and Harriet C. Orchard, and to have the unused portion of the pledge of Serena E. Grabow to Orchard returned to her.
Edmond H. Orchard and Harriet C. Orchard filed an answer and cross-petition. In this, among other things not necessary to be mentioned here, they asked that title to the property in the lease and option be quieted in them and that the plaintiff be forever barred and foreclosed of all right, title, and interest in and to or equity of redemption in and to the premises involved;
There was a trial had of the issues made by these pleadings and decree was entered October 31, 1939.
On the trial the court took an accounting of the amount due on the lease and option and found it to be $18,299.82, and in relation thereto the court decreed as follows: “IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED By the Court that the plaintiff’s indebtedness on said lease and option agreement, which is also an equitable real estate mortgage on said premises, be, and hereby is, found to be the sum of Eighteen Thousand Two Hundred Ninety-nine and 82/100 Dollars ($18,299.82), and the Court hereby determines that this is the amount which the plaintiff must pay to the defendants, Edmund H. Orchard and Harriet C. Orchard, in order to retain said premises under said equitable mortgage; that the date of redemption shall be nine months from the date of this decree.” The decree in this connection further provided that on payment of the amount named, Edmond H. Orchard and Harriet C. Orchard should execute a warranty deed to the premises to Tena E. Glissmann.
As to the pledge the decree provided: “IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that said defendants, Edmund H. Orchard and Harriet C. Orchard, return to and pay to the defendants, Serena E. Grabow and John J. Grabow, any property or moneys which they are now holding as collateral security, in connection with said lease and option agreement, which have not already been paid to Serena E. Grabow and John J. Grabow.”
The decree further provided: “IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the cross-petition of Serena E. Grabow and John J. Grabow, and the cross-petition of the defendants, Edmund H. Orchard and Harriet C. Orchard, be, and they hereby are, dismissed.”
Tena E. Glissmann has never paid any portion of the amount found to be due by the opinion of this court.
After the issuance of the mandate Edmond H. Orchard and Harriet C. Orchard instituted in the county court of Douglas County, Nebraska, an action in forcible entry and detainer the purpose of which was to obtain possession of and to oust Tena E. Glissmann and Henry C. Glissmann from the premises. Judgment was rendered in favor of plaintiffs in that action for possession and by authority of a writ of restitution in that case the defendants were ousted of possession on February 4, 1942. No appeal was taken from that judgment. This is the dispossession which was referred to earlier in this opinion.
On July 1, 1938, Harold W. Glissmann filed a petition in equity wherein he sought to recover by virtue of • assignments the interest of Henry C. Glissmann in the estate of Hans C. Glissmann, which was the same as that assigned to Serena E. Grabow as hereinbefore set out.
Serena E. Grabow was made a party to the action. Harold W. Glissmann sought to have her assignment declared a nullity. He also prayed for damages in the amount of $2,000 on account of the fact that she claimed this interest in the estate of Hans C. Glissmann as her own and prevented Harold W. Glissmann from obtaining it.
The three defendants first named, by answer, asked directions with regard to disposition of the interest in the estate.
Serena E. Grabow, by answer and cross-petition, claimed this interest as her own by virtue of her assignment.
A trial was had on the issues thus presented and no other issue pertinent to the inquiry here was presented for consideration and determination.' These issues and no others were decided by the decree.
By the decree it was ^determined that Harold W. Glissmann was entitled to this interest in the estate of Hans C. Glissmann and that he was entitled to receive from F. H. Bauermeister, former trustee, Henry J. Moeller, present trustee, and Happy Hollow Club, Inc., such parts of the interest in the estate as they or either of them had in possession or under control. It was further determined that Serena E. Grabow had no interest therein by virtue of her assignment which was declared to be null and void. Title was quieted in Harold W. Glissmann. Damages were denied by the decree. F. H. Bauermeister was directed to pay to plaintiff $204.23 less $2.50 advance costs and a $25 fee for his attorney. The amounts required to be paid by Henry
This is the case out of which the appeal which is now before us flows.
From the decree in the case Serena E. Grabow appealed to the Supreme Court. The case on appeal appears as Glissmann v. Bauermeister, 139 Neb. 354,, 297 N. W. 617. An opinion was rendered therein and also a supplemental opinion. The supplemental opinion immediately follows the original opinion in the report.
The decree of the district court was by the original opinion reversed and the action dismissed. The effect of this, in the light of the observations of the opinion,, was to properly dismiss the. petition of Harold W. Glissmann and to improperly dismiss the cross-petition of Serena E. Grabow. . This court clearly intended to deny to Harold W. Glissmann any interest in the estate of Hans C. Glissmann and to confirm this interest in Serena E. Grabow on her cross-petition. In the opinion it was. said: “To now allow his son to secure the payments, due on his father’s share which were pledged to his. aunt would violate all equitable principles.”
The situation thus presented having been called to-the attention of the court by motion for clarification of opinion within the time provided for filing motions for-rehearing the supplemental opinion expressing the true-purpose and intent of the court was adopted. The pertinent portion of this opinion is the following:
“This court had jurisdiction of the parties, and reversed the decree of the district court and dismissed the plaintiff’s petition. However, our opinion, in addition thereto, should have disposed of all of the issues between the parties which were set out in the pleadings and supported by the evidence, and in following the approved practice of courts of equity this court has decided to-enter this supplemental opinion, and thereby more completely adjust the rights of the parties litigant, to the
“Therefore, in addition to the entry of the judgment heretofore rendered, and supplemental thereto, judgment is hereby entered in favor of Serena E. Grabow on her counterclaim and cross-petition against the plaintiff and defendants Henry C. Glissmann and Tena E. Glissmann for all moneys due from defendant Happy Hollow Club, Inc., or from defendant Daniel C. Cary, and representing the one-eighth interest of Henry C. Glissmann in the estate of Hans C. Glissmann, whether said moneys are in the hands of F. H. Bauermeister, former trustee, Henry J. Moeller, present trustee, or are still in the hands of Happy Hollow Club, Inc., or Daniel C. Cary; and the district court is further directed to enter judgment in favor of Serena E. Grabow and against defendants Henry C. Glissmann and Tena E. Glissmann for such sums as that court finds have been received by Henry C. Glissmann, Tena E. Glissmann and Harold W. Glissmann from and after March 28, 1929, together with interest thereon from date so received, and which said sums represent payments on the aforesaid share of Henry C. Glissmann in the estate of Hans C. Glissmann.”
It will be observed from an examination of this quoted portion of the opinion (1) that the decree was reversed, (2) that plaintiff’s petition was dismissed, (3) that judgment was entered against Henry C. Glissmann and Tena E. Glissmann in favor of Serena E. Grabow on her counterclaim and cross-petition for all moneys due from the Happy Hollow Club, Inc., or from defendant Daniel C. Cary, and representing the one-eighth interest of Henry C. Glissmann in the estate of Hans C. Glissmann, whether said moneys are in the hands of F. H. Bauermeister, former trustee, Henry J. Moeller, present trustee, or still in the hands of Happy Hollow Club, Inc., or Daniel C. Cary, and (4) that the district court was directed to enter judgment in favor of Serena E. Gra
The effect of this at this time is to say that Serena E. Grabow’s assignment was adjudicated to be and was an absolute conveyance to her of the interest of Henry C. Glissmann in the estate of his deceased father which adjudication is final and conclusive; that Serena E. Grabow obtained a judgment for the unpaid portion of this interest which judgment is final and conclusive; and that Serena E. Grabow also obtained an adjudication that the portion of the interest paid to the three Glissmanns after March 28, 1929, belonged to her which adjudication was also conclusive and final. The opinion left nothing for later determination except the determination of the amount or amounts which had been received by the three Glissmanns and directed that judgment be rendered for this or these amounts.
With regard to the effect of an adjudication this court in Wheeler v. Brady, 126 Neb. 297, 253 N. W. 338, adopted the following from 34 C. J., Judgments, § 1154, p. 743: “Any right, fact, or matter in issue, and directly adjudicated upon, or necessarily involved in, the determination of an action before a competent court in which a judgment or decree is rendered upon the merits is conclusively settled by the judgment therein and cannot again be litigated between the parties and privies whether the claim or demand, purpose, or subject matter of the two suits is the same or not.” See, also, Dutch v. Welpton, 121 Neb. 480, 237 N. W. 579; In re Estate of Gifford, 133 Neb. 331, 275 N. W. 273; Shepard v. City of Friend, 141 Neb. 866, 5 N. W. 2d 108; Hanks v. Northwestern State Bank, 143 Neb. 204, 9 N. W. 2d 175; Wightman v. City of Wayne, 144 Neb. 871, 15 N. W.
Notwithstanding this limited direction the district court on remand allowed the filing of new pleadings the effect of which was to allow relitigation and readjudication of all matters which had been litigated in Glissmann v. Orchard, supra, and the forcible entry and detainer action which has been mentioned herein and all matters which had been finally adjudicated in the action out of which this appeal flows, together with new matter certainly not germane to this action.
Following the filing of the new pleadings a master was appointed to take evidence and make findings and report to the district court. The master performed the function and made his findings and report which were presented to the court. The court rendered a decree thereon. The details of the report and of the decree are not important here. Suffice it to say that Serena E. Grabow and John J. Grabow took an appeal from the decree.
In their brief appellants urged that the court erred in not limiting the inquiry to the requirements of the mandate and further erred in approving the report of the master except to the extent of fixing dates when sums were received by the three Glissmanns from the estate of Hans C. Glissmann.
An opinion was rendered by this court and from an examination of it we are now convinced that in the opinion we were in error, not necessarily on the basis of the matters which were considered therein, but clearly because the pronouncements were made upon matters not properly before the district court or this court since there had been adjudications thereon which were final and conclusive in Glissmann v. Orchard, supra, Glissmann v. Bauermeister, 139 Neb. 354, 297 N. W. 617, and the forcible entry and detainer action, and for other reasons. We are now convinced that the contention of the appellants in the respects mentioned
As to the matter of the accounting on the lease and option agreement as between Tena E. Glissmann and Edmond Orchard that matter was finally adjudicated in Glissmann v. Orchard, supra. There Tena E. Glissmann asked for an accounting. That issue was tried and this court fixed the amount due thereunder at $26,000. Tena E. Glissmann never filed a motion for rehearing.
As to the right of Serena E. Grabow to the interest of Henry C. Glissmann in the estate of Hans C. Glissmann this court said in the original opinion in Glissmann v. Bauermeister, 139 Neb. 354, 297 N. W. 617: “To now allow his son to secure the payments due on his father’s share which were pledged to his aunt would violate all equitable principles/’ Attention in this connection is called to the quoted portion of the supplemental opinion. No one to date has sought modification of this adjudication except as it was sought in the pleadings after remand in Glissmann v. Bauermeister, 139 Neb. 354, 297 N. W. 617. That matter stands adjudicated by the opinion and judgment of this court'. The remarks in relation to that subject in Glissmann v. Bauermeister, 146 Neb. 197, 19 N. W. 2d 43, must be treated as not determining any rights in relation thereto but as remarks upon a subject contained in pleadings erroneously permitted to be filed by the district court and on a subject over which that court had no further jurisdiction because of previous binding adjudication thereon.
We must say therefore that Serena E. Grabow is, by valid and now conclusive judgment of this court, entitled to the entire Henry C. Glissmann interest in the estate of Hans C. Glissmann and, as provided by the original and. supplemental opinions relating to this matter, to her judgment against F. H. Bauermeister, Happy Hollow Club, Inc., Daniel C. Cary, and Henry J. Moeller, and
The Glissmanns contend that Harold C. Glissmann is entitled to have the unused portion of the pledge of Serena E. Grabow which was given as security for performance of Henry C. Glissmann and Tena E. Glissmann under the lease and option agreement set off in favor of Harold W. Glissmann against the Henry C. Glissmann interest in the estate of Hans C. Glissmann.
This contention in the first place cannot be sustained for the reason that such matter is not germane to this action.
This action in inception was a contest between Serena E. Grabow and Harold W. Glissmann to determine which of these two was entitled to the share of Henry C. Glissmann in the estate of Hans C. Glissmann. It was tried and went to final judgment on that issue. Serena E. Grabow claimed by assignment from Henry C. Glissmann approved by Tena E. Glissmann. Harold W. Glissmann claimed by assignment from Tena E. Glissmann and assignment from a judgment creditor of Henry C. Glissmann. The obligation of Serena E. Grabow on the pledge was to Edmond H. Orchard through agreement between Serena E. Grabow and Henry C. Glissmann. While it was shown that Harold W. Glissmann had an assignment of the interest of Henry C. Glissmann in the estate of Hans C. Glissmann, it is not shown that Harold W. Glissmann ever acquired any interest whatever in or flowing out of the lease and option agreement or the agreement whereby Serena E. Grabow executed her pledge. Such rights as remained, if any, belonged not to Harold W. Glissmann, but to Tena E. Glissmann and Henry C. Glissmann. This being true how can it be said that this claim of offset was germane to the proper issues in this case?
Let us see just what the substance of the pledge was. It was simply this. She agreed with Edmond H. Orchard that if Tena E. Glissmann and Henry C. Glissmann did not perform under the lease and option agreement Orchard was privileged to exact out of her interest in Hans C. Glissmann’s estate any amount or amounts up to $5,500 in performance. She agreed to recompense the Glissmanns for nothing. Orchard was not required by any agreement to exact anything of her and she was not required by any agreement to pay anything except on exaction by Orchard. Orchard had the right to look to the Glissmanns alone for performance and if he did so and chose not to call upon Serena E. Grabow to respond under the terms of her pledge, and if he refrained, to the extent that he refrained, the pledge was left unburdened. No rights could flow to Harold W. Glissmann or Tena E. Glissmann and Henry C. Glissmann on account of his choice in this respect. It follows that under these circumstances in no event could any of the Glissmanns have had a right of set-off of the one interest in the Hans C. Glissmann estate against the other.
By their pleadings Tena E. Glissmann and Henry C. Glissmann sought to and the district court permitted them to relitigate the questions of whether or not their interest in the lease and option agreement had been foreclosed and whether or not they had been properly ousted from possession.
Perhaps it would be well to say, for reasons already stated, these are matters not germane to the proper issues in this case, which is of a certainty true, and dismiss the matter, but in the light of the protracted litigation and with a hope that this opinion will be its
We have no question about the foreclosure. There was a foreclosure in the case of Glissmann v. Orchard, supra. In the cross-petition of Edmond H. Orchard therein on proper pleadings foreclosure was prayed. The contention to the contrary notwithstanding, the district court decreed foreclosure and this court sustained the decree in that respect.
The contention of the Glissmanns that there was no foreclosure is based upon a recital in the decree that the cross-petition is dismissed. Investigation of the record and other portions of the decree discloses, however, that the cross-petition was not in fact dismissed. The decree on its face discloses that the district court decreed in favor of Edmond H. Orchard, after full trial on the issue of foreclosure made by the pleadings, foreclosure of the interest of Tena E. Glissmann and Henry C. Glissmann under the lease and option agreement which lease and option agreement, in conformity with a decree of the district court, was denominated an equitable mortgage.
It is too much of a stress on technicality to expect this court to say that where a trial court on issues which were joined and where trial was had and where by decree the issues presented were specifically decided which specific decision was followed by a general statement of dismissal of the pleading presenting the issue that the specific decision in the decree amounted to a decree on issues which were not before the court, the effect of which would be to permit of collateral attack of the decree for lack of jurisdiction to render it and to permit the relitigation of the same issues in an entirely different action.
No case cited goes so far. The case of Martin v. Abbott, 1 Neb. (Unoff.) 59, 95 N. W. 356, has been cited in support of the contention but it fails to go that far.
This court holds to the theory that where the record
Also it is the holding of this court that a prayer for general relief in an equitable action is sufficient to authorize any judgment to which the party is entitled under the pleadings and evidence adduced in support thereof. Johnson v. Radio Station WOW, on rehearing, 144 Neb. 432, 14 N. W. 2d 666; Van Steenberg v. Nelson, 147 Neb. 88, 22 N. W. 2d 414.
Under these rules, even if it be said that the recital in the decree amounted to a dismissal of the cross-petition still it would avail the Glissmanns nothing on this contention since the case wherein the lease and option agreement were foreclosed was tried by the parties on the theory of accounting, foreclosure, and redemption and decree was entered in response thereto from which the Glissmanns never appealed.
Tena E. Glissmann and Henry C. Glissmann by their new pleadings say that they have never had litigated their right of redemption from the equitable mortgage. The decree and the opinion in Glissmann v. Orchard, supra, show that the exact opposite of this contention is true. The decree allowed redemption and granted nine months within which to redeem. The opinion extended that period three months beyond the date of issuance of mandate. They did not redeem and their rights have long since been extinguished.
Tena E. Glissmann and Henry C. Glissmann contended in their pleadings that they have at all times been entitled to possession of the premises and that they were wrongfully ousted under the terms of the writ of restitution hereinbefore referred to. In view of the position taken with regard to foreclosure and redemption and the general view of the pleadings which the court permitted
By pleading, these parties contend that they could have been properly ousted only by a writ of assistance issuing out of the district court. This position and contention are untenable.
This court has held that an action in forcible entry and detainer lies in favor of a purchaser at judicial sale to recover possession of premises purchased, when the judgment debtor was in possession at the time the judgment or decree was rendered whereunder the sale was made; that the remedies by forcible entry and detainer and by writ of assistance in the original case are concurrent; and that a court is not ousted of jurisdiction in a forcible entry and detainer case by the mere averment in that case or elsewhere that it involves the question of title, but that it has jurisdiction to proceed until the evidence discloses such fact. Green v. Morse, 57 Neb. 391, 77 N. W. 925.
The forcible entry action here was instituted after decree was rendered, after right of redemption had expired and these parties had no further interest in the premises but were in possession. Under this authority it becomes clear that Orchard was entitled to his action in forcible entry and detainer.
On the basis of the observations and conclusions of. this opinion it becomes necessary to say that the Glissmanns were entitled to none of the relief claimed by them in any of the pleadings filed by them after issuance of mandate by this court in Glissmann v. Bauermeister, 139 Neb. 354, 297 N. W. 617, and from that point on the only function that the district court had to perform was to take an accounting of such sums as Henry C. Glissmann, Tena E. Glissmann, and Harold W. Glissmann
This court has said: “Where on appeal findings of fact are made which become the law of the case and there is a remand for a new trial, on such retrial, such findings are binding on the parties, the trial court and this court, unless on the retrial the facts relating to the issues upon which the findings were made are materially and substantially different from those adduced on the former trial, and the burden of showing a difference shall rest upon the party making the claim.” Callahan v. Prewitt, on rehearing, 143 Neb. 793, 13 N. W. 2d 660.
This rule with reference to findings of fact must be as binding where the remand is for the performance of a detail or details as if for a retrial of issues. This being true the findings of fact in Glissmann v. Bauermeister, 139 Neb. 354, 297 N. W. 617, and Glissmann v. Orchard, supra, were and are binding on all parties respectively thereto, the district court, and this court.
The application of this rule attaches as well to that portion of the opinion in Glissmann v. Bauermeister, 146 Neb. 197, 19 N. W. 2d 43, which purported to disturb the rights established by the opinions in Glissmann v. Bauermeister, 139 Neb. 354, 297 N. W. 617, and Glissmann v. Orchard, supra, that is to say that the part of the opinion in Glissmann v. Bauermeister, 146 Neb. 197, 19 N. W. 2d 43, which purports to readjudicate matters adjudicated in Glissmann v. Bauermeister, 139 Neb. 354, 297 N. W. 617, and Glissmann v. Orchard, supra, is ineffective for that purpose.
Under the well-defined principle of law that if this court attempts to render judgment on appeal from a judgment of the district court which judgment is rendered upon a subject within its general jurisdiction, but which is not brought before it by ány statement or claim
It is therefore the conclusion of this court that all matters which have come to this court on this appeal growing out of the pleadings allowed to Tena E. Glissmann, Henry C. Glissmann, and Harold W. Glissmann and the pleadings counter thereto and all other matters except those in furtherance of the opinion in Glissmann v. Bauermeister, 139 Neb. 354, 297 N. W. 617, and the opinion supplementing it, should be, and the same are dismissed, which is to say that all matters are dismissed except the matter of accounting and judgment, directed by that supplemental opinion.
By that supplemental opinion Serena E. Grabow was given judgment against Henry C. Glissmann and Tena E. Glissmann for all moneys due from defendant Happy Hollow Club, Inc., a corporation, or defendant Daniel C. Cary and representing the one-eighth interest of Henry C. Glissmann in the estate of Hans C. Glissmann, whether said moneys were in the hands of F. H. Bauermeister, former trustee, Henry J. Moeller, present trustee, or still in the hands of Happy Hollow Club, Inc., or Daniel C. Cary. This is a final judgment and not subject to disturbance by this court. Therefore nothing further need be said in this connection except that Serena E. Grabow is entitled to the avails of this judgment out of
This court now has the information, obtained through the original master’s report, to enable it to make disposition of that portion of the interest of the Hans C. Glissmann estate whereof the district court was directed to take an accounting and to render judgment. The master made an accounting and computed interest to June 10, 1943, but the court failed to render judgment thereon. The accounting and computation are approved.
The accounting disclosed that Harold W. Glissmann received $1,324.43 and that interest thereon to June 10, 1943, was $831.37. It showed that Tena E. Glissmann received $2,322.83 and that the interest thereon was $1,828.95. This was all that was received by these three parties.
Therefore judgment is rendered in favor of Serena E. Grabow and against Tena E. Glissmann and Henry C. Glissmann for the principal sum of $3,647.26 with interest to January 9, 1948, amounting to $3,662.64, or a total of $7,309.90. This is an acceptance of the computation of interest to June 10, 1943, and a computation of interest at the rate of six percent per annum from June 10, 1943, to the date named. This judgment shall bear interest at the rate of six percent per annum from January 9, 1948.
To the extent indicated in the opinion, therefore, the decree of the district court is reversed, to the extent indicated it is affirmed, and on the subject matter indicated judgment is rendered herein.
Reversed in part,
Affirmed in part,
Judgment rendered herein.
