1Opinion of the CourtJenney, J.
The Indiana Flooring Company brought this action in the Superior Court against Samuel Rudnick on two promissory notes, both made by the defendant and payable to the plaintiff. The defendant’s answer is a general denial, payment, and the further allegation that, if he "ever executed said notes,” he made them for the accommodation of the plaintiff and without consideration. The answer does not set up either total or partial failure of consideration. At the trial the signatures to the notes were admitted. The jury found for the plaintiff for the entire amount involved.
