Questão jurídica principal
Whether the counterclaim for return of the bearer mortgage note was proven
Decisão extraída
The appellant failed to show that the note had been transferred only for safekeeping rather than as security.
Fundamentação extraída
The Federal Supreme Court held that the appellant did not demonstrate a reviewable federal-law error in the appellate court's assessment of the evidence. Because the counterclaim depended on proving the purpose of the transfer, the claim failed.
