It seems that the court was entirely right in dismissing the action as to the defendant Coils. Without stating the evidence in detail, we think it clearly appeared that Kuchiaras was in fact the sole party interested, and that the action should have been brought against him alone. The court was also right in construing the contract in question as a chattel mortgage or security for the payment of the purchase price of the articles rather than as a lease. Under the circumstances shown by the evidence the intention of the parties. is so plain, notwithstanding the formal words appropriate to a lease, that no other construction is permissible.

It is true that the evidence is not as satisfactory as could have been desired, but we are unable to say that there is not some evidence upon which the conclusions of the jury can stand.
Some minor exceptions are urged and have been carefully examined. They are not deemed to possess any substantial merit, nor are they of sufficient importance to warrant detailed treatment.
