Brinker v. First Nat. Bank of Cleveland

March 1, 1925, Tur-ley, AVear, and Brinker signed a promissory note for $1,890, payable to appellee bank. Wear died, and the bank sued Turley and Brinker on the note. Turley did not defend. Brinker set up two defenses: (1) That he was only an accommodation maker for the payee bank; and (2) that he was a surety on the note, and the bank had without his consent granted Turley several binding extensions of the due date of the debt. The judgment was upon a directed verdict in favor of the bank for the full amount of the note against Turley and Brinker. The latter has appealed.
