Price Heirs Win Supreme Court Reverses Price Vases
The Kansas Supreme Court reversed a lower court ruling in the Price vases case from Atchison County and ordered the case returned to district court with instructions for entry of judgment for the plaintiff in error, noting an unusual combination of reversal with absolute judgment. The decision centers on John M Price’s insolvency and alleged insanity affecting a mortgage and life insurance settlement, culminating in a judgment in favor of the widow. The court’s action ends with the widow securing her full claim and insurance, restoring her position.
