Otto G. Mayer, Respondent v. William G. Dean, Appellants

Summary

The Court of Appeals reversed the lower court's directed verdict and ordered a new trial, holding that evidence of the broker's fraudulent representations was admissible to show fraud and that a principal is bound by the misrepresentations of his agent. The court also affirmed that questions of whether the seed defect was invisible and whether the defendants were deceived are for the jury.
