Syllabus

<p>Garnishment. Conclusiveness of answer. Case in judgment.</p> <p>The answer of a garnishee, in response to a garnishment issued upon a judgment, denying any indebtedness to the defendant and the possession of any property belonging to him, must be taken as conclusive unless disproved by the judgment creditor; and proof of the fact that the garnishee owes a note to the wife of the judgment debtor for money received by her upon a policy of insurance whicli was payable to her husband is not sufficient to overthrow such answer, where it appears by the evidence that the policy was made payable to him by a mistake, when it should have been made payable to her, to whom it and its proceeds really belonged.</p>
