On Motion for Rehearing.
In its motion for rehearing plaintiff in error, complains of our finding: “At the time of incorporating its assets, the partnership owed certain debts which formed the basis of this' litigation.” All th,e indebtedness was not incurred prior to dissolution of the partnership. Some of the. notes sued on were executed after the partnership was dissolved, and after the corporation was formed. They were signed by J. E. Mattinson and Annie Leftwich, and the corporate name was not affixed to them. But it is not thought the corporation can avoid liability on that ground alone. The notes were executed for money borrowed by and for the corporation, *501and the proceeds went into the business of the corporation. J. E. Mattinson was president and Annie Leftwich was secretary and general manager of the corporation. In fact, it appears that they were the alter ego of the corporation. Gaston & Ayres v. J. I. Campbell Co., 104 Tex. 576, 140 S.W. 770, 141 S.W. 515.
The motion for rehearing is overruled. '
