Passed

case of Alfred and Lon Merritt against
the American Steel Barge company

Z. w. Wetmore non-negotiable prom.
issory notes payable to themselves,
amounting to S432,575, and indorsed to
Wetmore. The notes were given for
loan OF that amount, with which to pur-
chase 5,65l shares of the MiSsabe road
stock to prevent the control of the road
going into the hands of the Minnesota
Iron company. Certificates represent
ing the purchased stock, valued at par,
were attached TO the notes as collateral
security, together with mining stocks of
market value of 1865, 600. 1t was agreed
that WetmOre should not dispose of
any OF these stocks before the notes
were due and that the notes could be
extended SIX mouths. In violation of
