    "head_matter": "Nellie B. Frame, Appellee, v. Harder\u2019s Fireproof Storage & Van Company, Appellant.\nGen. No. 21,818.\n(Not to be reported in full.)\nAbstract of the Decision.\n1. Trover and conversion, \u00a7 39 \u2014when evidence insufficient to sustain judgment for plaintiff. In an action for the conversion of a piano, brought by the owner and mortgagor thereof against a warehouseman with whom it had been stored and who had delivered it to the mortgagee, held that a judgment for the plaintiff could not be sustained, as the evidence showed that at the time of the delivery the plaintiff was in default in payment thereon to the mortgagee, and that the latter under the terms of the mortgage was therefore entitled to the possession.\n2. Trover and conversion, \u00a7 37*\u2014when burden of proof on bailee to prove paramount title of third person. While a bailee may not dispute the bailor\u2019s title to the thing bailed, yet where the bailee has surrendered it to one having a paramount title thereto, he may prove such surrender as a valid defense to an action against him by the bailor for the conversion of the property, the burden being upon him to prove such paramount title in the party to whom the property had been surrendered.\nAppeal from the County Court of Cook county; the Hon. S. N. Hoover, Judge, presiding. Heard in the Branch Appellate Court at the October term, 1915.\nReversed with finding of facts.\nOpinion filed October 10, 1916.\nStatement of the Case.\nAction by Nellie B. Frame, plaintiff, against Harder\u2019s Fireproof Storage & Van Company, defendant, for the conversion of a piano. From a judgment for plaintiff, defendant appeals.\nRobert W. Dunn, for appellant.\nAlonzo M. Griffen, for appellee; William C. Meter, of counsel.\nSee Illinois Notes Digest, Vols. XI to XV, and Cumulative Quarterly, same topic and section section number,"
