Description
1 On May 5th, 1952, Joe B. Humphrey, defendant in error, purchased a barber shop on South Agnew Street, Oklahoma City, operated by W.H. or "Bill" Greene, for the sum of $1,200, evidenced by a bill of sale for the fixtures and contents of the shop, signed and delivered to him by plaintiff in error, C.H. Greene, Bill Greenes brother, in whose name the shop had originally been purchased. The shop was located in a small building owned by plaintiff in error, Roy Young, and situated on a lot owned by South Oklahoma Town Company. After purchasing the shop, Humphrey went into immediate possession and operation of it and thereafter, on May 8th or 9th he was served with a thirty-day notice to vacate by South Oklahoma Town Company, to facilitate clearance of the building from this lot. Humphrey then went to the Greenes and, according to his testimony, attempted to rescind the sale and obtain his money back, but they refused to return it to him. A few months later when the building was razed and removed from the lot, Humphrey sold the barber shop furnishings and equipment for $100. He thereafter commenced this action, as plaintiff, for $1,200 in damages against plaintiffs in error, as defendants, on the ground that they had fraudulently misrepresented to him that he was to have a one-year lease on the premises. Defendants denied that they had been guilty of any fraudulent misrepresentation in the sale of the shop and at the trial it was established that before said sale was consummated, plaintiff was apprised of the fact that the defendant Young owned only the building and that the lot was owned by a company that was a stranger to the transaction. Nevertheless, plaintiff obtained a verdict and judgment for $1,100 and defendants have lodged this appeal. Our reference to the parties by their names or trial court designations will be continued.
