Opinion
No. 14,478.
Filed January 31, 1933. Rehearing denied May 19, 1933.
From Madison Circuit Court; Carl F. Morrow, Judge.
Action by Frank Alger against Anderson Banking Company, administrator, etc., of the estate of James E. Van Deventer, deceased. From a judgment for defendant, plaintiff appealed. Affirmed. By the court in banc.
Wyman J. Beckett and Louis Kimberlin, for appellant.
Bingham, Mendenhall Bingham, for appellee.
This cause is similar to three other actions brought against appellee, all of which present the same question of law. The question presented is whether or not an action for personal injuries abates upon the death of the wrongdoer, and was decided in the recent case of Stucky v. Stanley, Admr. (1933), 97 Ind. App. 341, 184 N.E. 300.
This cause is therefore affirmed on the authority of Stucky v. Stanley, supra.
