Description
STEINERT, J. -- The plaintiff herein formerly obtained, in this action, a money judgment against the defendants by default. Thereafter, in the same action, the defendants filed a petition, supported by affidavits, seeking to have the default judgment set aside. Plaintiff filed controverting affidavits, and upon the issues thus presented a trial was held before the court aided by a jury which had been called for the sole purpose of determining a factual issue tendered by the petition. In response to certain interrogatories, the jury returned answers favorable to the defendants on the question of fact. The court, however, declined to accept the answers as determinative of the factual issue and, instead, made and filed a written decision denying defendants' petition for vacation of the judgment. From that decision, defendants appealed.
