Description
This is a suit on a promissory note for the face amount of $1,000.00, together with $100.00 attorney's fees, wherein trial to the court without a jury resulted in a judgment for the respondent, maker of the note. Appellant has duly appealed to this court. The respondent, Buddy Caton, enrolled for a series of dance lessons at the Fred Astaire Studio in Kansas City, Missouri. Appellant contends that the promissory note in the amount of $1,000.00 payable to Fred Astaire Studio was given in payment of this course of dance lessons. The note was sold to appellant on the day after its date. Appellant sues thereon claiming to be a holder in due course and thus not subject to the defenses that Caton might have against the payee, Fred Astaire Studio. Respondent defends on the basis of fraud, contending that he was induced to sign the note in blank, and upon a failure of consideration, contending that he never received the dance lessons for which the note was given, and that appellant took the note with knowledge of such infirmities. It appears that on the date in question, appellant bought an unspecified number of notes from the Fred Astaire Studio for which he paid $10,000.00 and among which was respondent's note. At that time, appellant was buying all of the notes of the studio and under this arrangement he purchased a large number of notes, the total number being well over 100. In the view we take of the case, a more detailed statement of the facts and issues is not required.
