Description

CAYTON, Chief Judge. Claiming to be a holder in due course, Clyde A. Bowles brought two suits on a series of three promissory notes, all dated the same day. The first suit covered a note for $1500 and one for $1000; the second covered a note for $2500. Both suits named as defendants Bertha A. Marsh as maker and James F. Patrick as the payee-indorser from whom plaintiff claimed to have acquired the three notes. Patrick defaulted. Defendant Marsh defended on the ground that the notes had been obtained from her without consideration and by the false and fraudulent representations of Patrick, and that Bowles had knowledge of these facts when he acquired the notes from Patrick. Plaintiff filed a motion for summary judgment against Marsh which was denied, and the cases proceeded to trial on the issues between those two parties. On motion of defendant the cases were consolidated 'for further proceedings herein and for trial.' The trial was had before a jury, the evidence being in the form of plaintiff's earlier deposition and his testimony in open court, the deposition of Patrick who was not present, and the deposition of Miss Marsh who, because of advanced years and ill health, as was shown by medical testimony, was unable to attend the trial in person. Certain exhibits were also in evidence.
