DIRECTS
JURY TO FIND
FOR RECEIVER
c. Fl. Brown Held Liable for
Notes Given in Behalf of
Chemical Firm.

4 directed verdict was returned
Wednesday by jury in Judge II: Il:
Ewing's court in the attachment suit OF
A. ". Springhorn, receiver Of the
American Bank and Trust company,
against &. r. Brown. the jury allowing
5000 and $3.50 counsel fees as the
amount of q Judgment to be taken
against the defendant. Counsel for
the plaintiff moved for directed yer
diet Immediately after the defense had
closed its case.
Acted for Chemical Company
The suit involved two promissory
notes aggregating $3.50, which Brown
delivered to the Cascade bank com
pany in September, 1919. The notes
were later transferred to the American
Bank and Trust company. While
Brown admitted that he had executed
the notes. he set up the defense that
he carried out the transaction on be-
half of the Park Chemical company,
which is not now engaged in business.
Two officers Of the Cascade bank were
officers of the chemical company, he
said.
According to Browns testimony, he
signed the notes as matter of ac-
comm odation to the bank officials. who
did not wish the state bank examiner
to discover that the bank had been
making loans to the chemical company
He said there was no consideration for
the notes and that it was the under
standing that they represented obli
cations of the chemical company and
not his. The notes were originally Sc
cured By 40 shares Of the chemical
stock.
No Defense
Counsel for the plaintiff held that
the testimony Of Brown constituted no
defense and the court upheld this con-
tention when he directed the jury to
find for the receiver. Browns counsel
was granted 80 days in which to pre-
pare and file bin Of exceptions. pre-
paratory to appealing the case to the
supreme court.
Mckenzie & Mckenzie were attor-
neys for the receiver and r. F. McCue
represented the defendant.
