1923 "The wheat in question was stored in an elevator at Merino, Colorado, owned by Stanley B. Ashcraft, of which *364Audie Ashcraft was in charge as the servant of Stanley B. Ashcraft. That Audie Ashcraft was a mere employe of his brother Stanley, and not interested in the business, was testified to by both brothers, and contradicted by no one; yet the court instructed the jury that, “the defendants in their answer and by their testimony admitted that they received the wheat in .Question.” This statement is twice repeated in the instructions, and the jury was told that if Audie Ashcraft “upon the advice or order of Stanley B. Ashcraft delivered the said wheat to some other person than William L. Tucker, the plaintiff, then your verdict should be for the plaintiff.”
Audie Ashcraft, by his answer, denied the receipt of any wheat, and as above stated, the uncontradicted evidence shows that he was a mere employe of his brother. Under that state of the evidence, he could not be made responsible for a conversion of the wheat unless it be proved that he was a party to its conversion, and a wrongdoer. The instruction mentioned made him liable for a delivery of the wheat to any one other than the plaintiff, even though he had no knowledge that the wheat was wrongfully delivered. This is contrary to the well settled law. A servant who innocently obeys the orders of his master, without knowledge that his act is wrongful, is not liable to the person injured."
