Springvale National Bank v. Ashworth
Springvale National Bank v. Ashworth
Opinion of the Court
This is an action against the alleged endorser of two promissory notes.

The genuineness of the signature was the chief, if not the only issue, in the case. The jury rendered a verdict for defendant and plaintiff filed the usual motion for new trial.
