1Opinion of the CourtJaggard, J.
The plaintiff and respondent, a corporation, sought judgment for the principal and interest due on a promissory note dated September 16, 1901, payable to the order of F. S. Woodworth one day after date, for the sum of $6,126, which prior to maturity had been transferred by indorsement to plaintiff. The answer of defendant and appellant for a first defense alleged facts intended to show that as between the maker and payee the note arose out of friendly transactions and did not create a legal obligation, and that the plaintiff was not an innocent purchaser for value before maturity.
