Judge Dillon, of the United States
Circuit Court, says the St. Douis Demo-
crat. recently delivered an able and I'M
portsnt opinion in the bankruptcy case
OF John Clemens, reversing the decision
OF Judge Treat, Of the District Court.
Judge Treat decided that an inderser oi
accommodation paper although having
no interest IN the business transaction
in which the paper was made, could be
forced into bankruptcy if the same re-
msined unpaid for fourteen days, Judge
Dillon puts different construction upon
the bankrupt law. His decision relieves
