[1] The maker of a negotiable promissory note is liable to one who, before maturity, in good faith and without notice or knowledge that there was fraud in the original consideration or a want or failure of the original consideration, indorses the note for the accommodation of the payee, and without the maker's request, if such indorser is compelled to pay it upon default of the maker. ( Sheahan v. Davis, 27 Or. 278 [50 Am. St. Rep. 722, 28 L.R.A. 476, 40 P. 405]; 3 R. C. L., p. 1121.) And this is so even though after his indorsement he acquires that knowledge.
