No. 18,668.
    Frank Pierson, Appellant, v. The Kingman Milling Company, Appellee.
    
    OPINION DENYING A REHEARING.
    Appeal from Kingman district court; Preston B. 'Gillett, judge.
    Opinion denying a rehearing filed May 9, 1914.
    (For original opinion of reversal see 91 Kan., 775, 139 Pac. 394. )
    
      John H. Connaughton, and Charles C. Calkin, both of .Kingman, for the appellant.
    
      George L. Hay, L. F. Walter, both of Kingman, and :T. A. Noftzger, of Wichita, for the appellee.
   Per Curiam,:

Upon a full consideration of a petition for a rehearing the majority of the court remains of the view indicated in the original opinion. The circumstantial evidence is ■deemed to warrant an inference that the president and vice president, as well as the secretary-treasurer, knew of an arrangement regarding the life employment Of the plaintiff. The fact that all the stock was owned by these thr.ee officers and by the wives of two of them, who constituted the two remaining directors, is a circumstance we think must be given weight in determining whether there was any evidence of ratification.

The petition for a rehearing is denied.
