Opinion:
Hill, C. J.
This was a suit against several defendants, as alleged makers of a promissory note. The defense relied upon by the plaintiff in error was that the note was not binding upon her, for the reason that she was only a surety and was a married woman at the time she signed the note as such. Held: The evidence demanded a finding in favor of this plea, and the verdict against the plaintiff in error was unauthorized. Civil Code (1910), § 3007. Judgment reversed
