Kathryn C. Maule v. Don D. Eckis and Zella M. Eckis

The appeal in this case brings for review final decree in a suit to foreclose a mortgage. In the court below the defendants interposed the defense that the transaction was infected with usury and showed that the note and mortgage was for $68,500.00 whereas the amount of money received by the defendants was only $65,000, and that the lender had retained a bonus of $3,500.00.
