In an action against guarantors, an instruction that the contract and the names of the defendants thereon are no evidence of the fact that defendants signed the same, held misleading as tending to wholly deprive plaintiff of the use of the contract, guaranty and names attached thereto as a probative force in establishing that the signatures were genuine.\n2. Witnesses, \u00a7 42 \u2014when wife incompetent.. In a suit against guarantors, the wife of a guarantor held incompetent to testify to matters In which she contradicted her husband and in relation to which she was not properly acting as his agent.\nAppeal from the Circuit Court of Johnson county; the Hon. Albert E. Somers, Judge, presiding. Heard in this court at the March term, 1913.\nReversed and remanded.\nOpinion filed October 9, 1913.\nStatement of the Case.\nAction by the W. T.
