Hall v. First National Bank

This was an action, commenced February 18, 1893, before a justice of the peace, by the First National Bank of Hays City, Kan., against A. S. Hall and John Yunker, on a demand note for $215.40, executed November 5, 1889. No answer was filed by the defendants ; but on the trial in the District Court Hall made defense by claiming that he signed the note as surety for Yunker, and that he was released from liability thereon because the time for payment had been extended by the Bank without his consent. The case was tried by a jury, and a general verdict returned in favor of the plaintiff.
