Other questions discussed by counsel need not be considered, for the reason that the conclusion arrived at in the former part of this opinion, is decisive of the case.
We regret the necessity of being called upon to rebuke appellant’s counsel for the strictures passed by them, in argument, upon opposing counsel and the learned district judge, who tried the cause in the court below. Such observations were entirely uncalled for, and are unworthy of counsel learned in the law and of wide experience at the bar. There is nothing in the record to justify the attack, and we hope their deep sense of the duties of counsel to each other, and the court below, as well as to this court, will prevent a repetition of such offensive remarks. The conclusion reached by us does not accord with the decree rendered in the court below, and the judgment is REVERSED.
