LAZARE KAPLAN & SONS, Inc., Appellant, v. PENSACOLA HOTEL COMPANY, Appellee. S. LESSE & SONS, Inc., Appellant, v. PENSACOLA HOTEL COMPANY, Appellee.

United States Court of Appeals Fifth Circuit.

Rehearing Denied April 30, 1958.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Wm. Fisher, Jr., Pensacola, Fla., Arthur I. Winard, New York City, Fisher & Hepner, Pensacola, Fla., for appellants.

E. Dixie Beggs (of Yonge, Beggs & Lane), Pensacola, Fla., for appellee.

Before HUTCHESON, Chief Judge, and BORAH and TUTTLE, Circuit Judges.


PER CURIAM.

These two appeals consolidated for submission here are from orders granting defendant's motions to dismiss the action in each case because, under the Florida Statutes governing the liability of innkeepers, F.S.A. § 509.111, the complaint failed to state a claim against it.

Each suit was brought against defendant to recover the value of jewels and other property which each plaintiff claimed he had lost while a paying guest in the hotel.
