240 U.S. 617

APPEALS FROM THE CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE EIGHTH CIRCUIT

Syllabus

The essential question in this case being one of fact, and notwithstanding the different conclusions reached by the courts below, this Court, after consideration thereof, holds that the evidence sustains the conclusion of the circuit court of appeals that there was no such commencement of building as would give the mechanics’ liens priority over the mortgages on the property within the meaning of the Kansas statute.

216 F. 721 affirmed.

The facts are stated in the opinion.
