Opinion

PER CURIAM.

We think that a man, years in business, with consequent education to prudence, should not be permitted to escape his own undertaking under his own signature upon his saying he did not read the writing, and when the only man who can contradict his present saying that something else should be read into the writing he signed is in the insane asylum.

Judgment reversed, and new trial ordered, with costs to appellant to abide the event.
