Case of Mrs. Greenlee Notes Terminated In Defendant’s Favor.

The suit of Mrs. Eva Greenlee to recover from Mrs. Edna Powell two notes aggregating $750, given for the purchase of the Nowels Hotel equipment, came to a sudden close just before noon today, when Judge Hanley instructed the jury to bring in a verdict for the defendant on the ground that a promissory note in the hands of the payee cannot be recovered in an action to replevin, the right to the possession thereof remaining' in the payee of the note until payment of the same. Mrs. Greenlee states that she will take an appeal to the supreme court, where the matter can be tested. One of the notes amounting to S4OO was due Nov. Ist, and the $350 note will be due Jan. 10th. The first note was not paid, and has not, thus far, been sued upon.
