CONFESSION OF JUDGMENT, § 73^_ — execution of renewal note, sufficiency of evidence. Judgment confirming judgment by confession on note was proper, where sharply conflicting evidence showed that the controversy was a family dispute, that defendant had executed the judgment note as a renewal note for previous note in the same amount maturing about the same day, and that defendant subsequently tore his signature off the note, intending to destroy evidence of his obligation.
