ON MOTION FOR REHEARING.
It does not appear from the record in this case that Mrs. Compton, the executrix, appealed from the judgment of the District Court, therefore the reversal of the judgment as to the sureties did not disturb the rights of the plaintiff as against Mrs. Compton under the District Court judgment. It appears from the record, as we have it, that Moore, Marx and the American Surety Company were all made parties to the petition in the first instance, therefore, Bans-com, the guardian, was liable to the cost accruing by reason of making them parties. The motion of W. L. Hanscom, guardian, and the United States Fidelity & Guaranty Company will be overruled. The motion of the American Surety Company of Flew York, C. B. Moore and M. Marx will be granted insofar as to add to the judgment as follows: “And that the United States Fidelity & Guaranty Company take nothing upon its cross bill against C. B. Moore, M. Marx and the American Surety Company, and that said Moore, Marx and the Surety Company go hence without day and recover of the Fidelity & Guaranty Company all costs incurred in defending against the said cross bill.”

Reversed and rendered.
