<p>Decedent's estates — Interest on note due decedent — Payment—Evidence.</p> <p>One of two administrators owed the decedent, his father, on a promissory note, dated nine years before decedent’s death. The note bore indorsements showing last payment of interest was made more than six years prior to decedent’s death. The administrator admitted liability for the principal of the note, but refused to admit liability for interest. The administrators charged themselves with the principal of the note. At the audit the maker of the note offered book entries to show payments of interest. There was offered in evidence a memorandum of a calculation of interest which the decedent had caused to be made one year prior to his death, showing the maker’s liability for interest for that time. This memorandum was found among decedent’s papers. The maker produced no acknowledgments or receipts by the decedent of payments of interest. Held, that the maker was properly charged with interest.</p>
