Samuel Freeman Miller,
Russell v. Ely. — Opinion of the Court
“ In that part of the charge which immediately precedes the words objected to, the Court says: 'The deed of Clifford A. Baker to Charles R. Dean is alleged to be fraudulently executed by Floyd P. Baker in the name of Clifford A. Baker. That he used Clifford's name without authority, and that Charles R. Dean was a fictitious person. The evidence of Botsford shows these facts prima facie.'It is manifest that if Charles R. Dean was a fictitious person, plaintiffs had no title, for they claimed under a deed from him. ”
