Description

CLAGETT, Associate Judge. In August 1943, Morton Nesmith was an army officer living temporarily in Charleston, S. C. Having been ordered overseas, and his wife and son planning to go to Florida he arranged with defendant, Greyvan, to ship his household goods, including personal wearing apparel of himself and wife, to Washington and place them in storage here. Greyvan accepted the shipment, moved it to Washington and turned it over to Ambassador Moving and Storage Company for storage. In January 1944, Mrs. Nesmith, who was still in Florida, wrote Greyvan asking where the goods were located. Greyvan replied in February saying they were 'at present' located with Ambassador, giving that company's Washington address. The goods remained with Ambassador until June 1944, when they were delivered by that company to Mrs. Nesmith on her order. She then discovered that the lock had been broken off a cedar chest, and that a large amount of clothes and other personal effects were missing from the cedar chest and chests of drawers. A claim was promptly presented to Ambassador, but no claim was ever presented to Greyvan. Ambassador rejected the claim, and Mr. and Mrs. Nesmith sued both companies for the value of the missing goods. The trial court, sitting without a jury, dismissed the case against Ambassador and ordered judgment against Greyvan for $1,350.95. From that judgment Greyvan alone appeals.
