No. 56.

257 U.S. 213 (1921)

ROBERT MITCHELL FURNITURE COMPANY v. SELDEN BRECK CONSTRUCTION COMPANY.

Supreme Court of United States.

Decided December 5, 1921.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Mr. Leo J. Brumleve, Jr., with whom Mr. Walter A. De Camp and Mr. Dudley V. Sutphin were on the brief, for plaintiff in error.

Mr. Simeon Nash, with whom Mr. C.C. Williams was on the brief, for defendant in error.


MR. JUSTICE HOLMES delivered the opinion of the court.

This case is here on error to a judgment of the District Court that held the summons in the suit void and, on the plaintiff's statement that it could not secure service otherwise, dismissed the petition for want of jurisdiction over the person of the defendant. An appeal to this Court lies in such a case. Board of Trade of Chicago v. Hammond Elevator Co., 198 U.S. 424
