angry; that Breithaupt had threatened bodily harm to the
plaintiff; that once when plaintiff had gone to the defendant
bank to transact business with defendant, Breithaupt had
assaulted him; that the violence and antagonism of Breithaupt
grew so great that plaintiff could not in safety go to the
defendant bank to transact business but was compelled to do so by
mail, all of which facts were known and understood by the
defendant; that plaintiff was indebted to the defendant; that on
or about the 9th day of March, 1954, plaintiff attempted to
transact business with the defendant by mail, particularly the
depositing of checks to his personal account; that Breithaupt
telephonically requested plaintiff to come to the defendant bank

plaintiff; that plaintiff went onto the porch of his home to see
Breithaupt; that Breithaupt demanded that plaintiff deposit said
