#### John H. Lloyd, Appellee, v. Lincoln Stars, Appellant.

Gen. No. 23,248. (Not to be reported in full.)

Abstract of the Decision.

1. Corporations, § 390 * —when authority of person to sign contract shown. On an attachment suit against a corporation to recover for services rendered under a contract of employment, held that the evidence showed that the person executing such contract was sole proprietor of defendant, and that such contract was admissible in evidence.

2. Corporations, § 381*—when ratification of contract of employment shown. Evidence held to show that a corporation ratified a contract of employment made by another, received the benefit thereof and failed to pay in full for such services.

3. Attachment, § 246*—what is sufficient to sustain. Where an affidavit for attachment alleges two statutory grounds and defendant denies only one of them in its traverse, the other ground is admitted and is sufficient to sustain the attachment.
