LETTER MUST PAY.
Division Afrms Judg-
ment on Note IN Grain Operations.

The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court yes
terday handed down a decision affirming Judg-
for some s52 900 and large amount of interest
in favor of Wilhelm E Zeller against Joseph Letter
The action was based promtssory note dated
December IS. 1898 given by Letter to the Allen
Grier Zeller company for $50 OF 81 payable in three
years, with interest at per cent, which subse
Quenly transferred the plaintiff for value before
maturity.
The defence set up that the plaintiff mem
Der of the payee firm, and knew that the note was
given in liquidation of a wagering contract arising
of the taking of options TO buy sell grain
at future time without intention that the COM
modify should be delivered. All contracts concern
ing such transaction, II claimed, specifically
declared to be void by the statutes of Illinois, where
the transactions took place and the note was given
and payable The verdict rendered in
favor of the plaintiff by direction of the court.
The opinion of the Appellate Division is written
by Justice Houghton. He says that the lower court
was right in holding that the statement from which
the balance struck not inValidated because
it may have contained illegal items 1t was incum-
bent upon the defendant to show that those Illegal
items changed the balance in defendants favor
There many transactions embraced in the
statement. On the trial nearly 200 statements were
produced, showing transactions in puts and
calls for more than hundred million bushels OF
grain. The Appellate Division holds that not all
the transactions were Illegal and the defendant did
not show that those that wree woul have changed
the result in his favor. All the judges Concurred.
