<p>Promissory notes — Accommodation indorser — Evidence — Question for jury.</p> <p>In an action by a holder of a promissory note against the first indorser, who was an accommodation indorser, it appeared that the second indorser owed the holder $1,000 on a judgment note and over $800 on book account. Both the holder and the second indorser testified that the note in suit, which was for $2,000, was given in payment of the judgment note which was surrendered, and also in payment of the book account, and that the difference making up the $2,000 was paid by the holder to the second indorser in cash. Held, that the evidence was sufficient to support a verdict and judgment against the first indorser for the full amount of the note.</p>
