Frank W. Stewart, Appellee, v. L. Wilson et al. William W. Link, Appellant.
    Gen. No. 24,250.
    (Not to be reported in full.)
    Appeal from the Municipal Court of Chicago; the Hon. John Richabdson, Judge, presiding. Heard in this court at the March term, 1918.
    Affirmed.
    Opinion filed July 1, 1918.
    Statement of the Case.
    Replevin by Frank W. Stewart, plaintiff, against L. Wilson et al., defendants. From a judgment for plaintiff, defendant William W. Link appeals.
    Christian C. H. Zillman, for appellant.
    
      Abstract of the Decision.
    1. Replevin, § 123* — when ownership by plaintiff shown. In an action of replevin, evidence held sufficient to support a finding that the property was owned by plaintiff.
    2. Pledges, § 9* — when pledgee acquires no title as against real owner of manufactured article. On replevin, the fact that, under a contract between plaintiff and a manufacturer, plaintiff bought raw material and delivered it to the manufacturer to be manufactured into articles, the cost of the material being charged to the manufacturer and credited on the amount which plaintiff agreed to pay, does not deprive plaintiff of his right of possession of the manufactured article, and one to whom the manufacturer pledged them acquires no title as against plaintiff.
    Haase, Hanley & Howard and John C. Burchard, for appellee.
   Mr. Justice McSurely
