Missouri Court of Appeals December 5, 1910 (Lowe v. Frede)

ELLISON, J.

Plaintiff's action is for assault and battery, in which he prays judgment for fifteen thousand dollars compensatory and fifteen thousand dollars exemplary damages, making a total of thirty thousand dollars which he seeks to recover. There was a trial and a verdict for the defendant. Plaintiff then, in due time, filed a motion for new trial and this was overruled.
