Description
Plaintiffs, Richard O. Haynes and Maurine Haynes, his wife, instituted this action against W. A. Watts and Gladys M. Watts, his wife, and John Davis & Company, a corporation, as defendants, alleging in their complaint that they, being the owners of a tract of real estate in King county, during the spring of 1943, agreed in writing with defendants Watts to sell the property to defendants, who agreed to purchase it for $18,500; that defendants Watts then deposited with defendant John Davis & Company, as plaintiffs agent, the sum of one thousand dollars as an earnest money deposit and as part payment of the purchase price; that preliminary steps having been accomplished, defendants Watts were called on to pay the balance of the purchase price and that they refused to do so; that by their act the one thousand dollars deposited with defendant John Davis & Company (hereinafter referred to as Davis or as respondent) was forfeited to plaintiffs; that Davis, however, refused to turn the money over to plaintiffs, but kept the same under some claim of right. Plaintiffs attached to their complaint a copy of the agreement between the parties, which is admitted to be correct.
