NOT JOINT MAKERS.
Decision OF tn, Appellate Court In the
Case OF CrOmpton VS.. Spencer.

Decision OF tn, Appellate Court In the
Case OF CrOmpton VS.. Spencer.
The following opinion was handed
down by Chief Justice Matteson In the
case OF William n. Crompton svs James
l.. Spencer The defendants claim Is
based on the assumption that the two ac-
commodation endorsers were Joint
makers Of the note. The note itself
shows, however, that they were not joint
makers, but successive endorsers the note
being payable TO the order of the do
fendant and endorsed by him before be-
ing endorsed by the plaintiff. In this
respect ~ differs from Carpenter W. Nc
Laughlin. IL X. l., 270. In the absence
OF any agreementsaiiectin2 the liabilitytof
endorSers. their liability is determined by
the order In which their names appear
upon the note. We 1nd no error in the
writing of the court directing verdict
for the plaintiff.
The defendant makes. the point that
the Judgment on the note In the suit
brought by the bank operated a. a mer-
ger OF the note is conclusive ON the par
ties 10 IL, and excludes defence grow
Ing out OF the reIations OF first and sec
ond endorser existing between them
prior 10 the recovery Of the judgment.
The only case cited in support OF the
point ls Marshall vs. Aiken, 25 VT, 32S.
That case however, trsats Of the effect of
a merger on the rights of "A surety as
against creditor. The court held that
as against a creditor, judgment upon the
note operated as a merger of the note at
law though 10 mi ght net be so at equity,
and became su far conclusive ON the par-
ties as toeXclude a defence growing out OF
the relation OF principal ana surety exist
ing between tn parties In the Judgment
prior TO its recovery The court on page
$50 OF It's opinions says: I'VE 40 not sup
pose that the judgment in any way affects
the relation between the principal and
surety. That stands as before between
themselves. We do not think that the
merger OF tho note in the judgment in
the favor of the bank affected the relation
between the plaintiff and defendant as
successive endorsers of tho note

COnnOrS' Arm Torn Into

LIGAMENTS STRUNG OUT.
Arm Caught in Machine When Fe

HIS CONDITION DANGEROUS.

a fearful accident to look Mt happened
in tho Riverside mill at Olneyville this
afternoon and the spectators were siokeneu
with the horrible spectacle .lohn Con

lie was at work on picker machine and
just before the machinery was started
after the noon hour, he attempted to thiow
OFF the belt driving the picker and his

chine. lie shouted with terror and his
associates in the room, turning To SEQ
what was the matter. were almost para
lyzed with what they saw. Connors was
backing from the machine, which was

energy.
AS ne did so the ligaments OF his arm

soon as possible anu physicians were sum
moned. 1hey used "A tourniquet To stop

The ambularcs was summoned and the
man was taken To the hospital where the
surgeons saw ut once that amputation

Connors was fearfully prostrated by the
shock and loss of blood, but the surgeons
proceeded To perform the operation. The
ligaments were severed and the ragged
stump Of tho arm was cut just below the
shoulder. There is little hope OF his re-
covery because of the great prostration,
but everything will be- done to keep the
poor fellow in condition To- give him

No one seems to blame for the terrible
happening but Connors himself. He put
