McLendon v. Johnson

In my opinion the evidence shows conclusively and as a matter of law that the transaction was a loan, and not a gift or purchase of an annuity. The majority opinion does not go further than to say that the transaction was not a gift, and that the jury was authorized to find that it was a loan. I think, as indicated, that the direction of the verdict was error, because the evidence demanded a verdict for the plaintiff in the full amount sued for.
