Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 2 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ * * * By section 29 of the act [now C.R.S. ’53, 95-1-29] an accommodation party is one who has signed the instrument as maker, drawer, acceptor or indorser, without receiving value therefor, and for the purpose of lending his name to some other person. Such person is liable on the instrument to a holder for value, though the holder, at the time of taking the instrument, knew him to be only an accommodation party. It would seem to follow from this that if the defendant here was a surety, as he claims, that is, an accommodation party lending his name to the codefendant Swanson, he is primarily liable to the holder, though he is merely a surety. * * * ” (Emphasis supplied.)”
