## Opinion text

Ellis, J.,
dissenting. — I think the' judgment should be affirmed because the only definite acknowledgment of the debt and promise tp pay was that contained in the letter of April 3, 1918, in which the defendant agreed to pay $500.00 if he could. There was evidence of his ability to pay.
