Appeal from Circuit Court, St. Charles County; B. B. Woolfolk, Judge.
Action by the National Bank of Commerce in St. Louis against Henry D. Laughlin, in which defendant filed a counterclaim. Judgment for defendant on his counterclaim, and plaintiff appeals. Modified and affirmed.
Geo. L. Edwards, of Kansas City, and Charles J. Daudt, of St. Charles, for appellant.
Abbott, Fauntleroy, Cullen & Edwards and Rassieur & Long, all of St. Louis, for respondent.
In its origin (taking plaintiff's petition as the origin), this suit apparently involved a simple suit upon a note for $3,000, dated April 24, 1918, payable to National Bank of Commerce, and signed by Henry D. Laughlin. Said note was due and payable on July 23, 1918, and bore interest from such date at 8 per cent. Defendant pleaded by way of answer and counterclaim, which were met by a reply. The simple suit upon the $3,000 note, supra, finally resulted in a verdict of the jury, in these Words:
Defendant's answer and counterclaim contain a wealth of detail, but the transactions between the parties to this suit seem to justify the pleading, and there is evidence, upon the part of defendant, tending to show all the well-pleaded facts in his answer and counterclaim. The answer and counterclaim are in these words "(1) Now comes the defendant, and by leave of court, files this his amended answer and counterclaim.
