The defendants, appealed to

that there was lack of iconsldera
tion. ' i
"This case presents a story of
irennea unance in which three

inal business transactions finally

The financial difficulties of the
grain company involved the bank
or r reewaier, wmch had over
drafts of $135,000. the old N
tional bank of Spokane, a creditor
oi tne company in excess of $100.
000. and the First National bank
of Walla Walla. The transactions
occurred in 1928. At that tim
Murray, one of the defendants in
the suit, was chief executive of
the bank of Freewater.
The mortgages on the land were
given oy Murray anu other de
fendants to secure a loan from
the other two banks to save the
treewater Institution from a
crash.
Justice Belt held that the
charge of fraud on the part of
Murray was "utterly without mer
it", and upheld the foreclosure
decree.
Murray had alleged that the de
fendants . In the action were in
duced to execute the mortgage be
cause of fraudulent representa
tions that the grain company
would pay more than 40 per cent
upon liquidation.
