Opinion

Pbatt, J.

The executor failed to produce any of decedent’s handwriting to compare with the signature of the note in suit. That neglect is most significant; almost an express admission that the note sued upon is genuine. The plaintiff produced one specimen which the jury compared with-the note, and their verdict, based upon that inspection and comparison, cannot be interfered with. In view of the above the opinion of the witnesses is of slight importance. Judgment affirmed, with costs.
