Unauthorized Indorsements. First National Bank collected debts owed to Rock Island Bedding Co and Berry Industries, Inc, and in turn paid those two firms the amounts collected by remitting checks to them drawn on First National Bank. On several

occasions, Johns, an employee of First National, asked the bank's accounting department to prepare cashier's checks payable to Rock Island Bedding Co and to Berry Industries, Inc The requests did not appear to be irregular, because the bank had been making regular payments to the two firms. Johns, however, forged the payees' indorsements on eighteen of the checks so issued and deposited them into an account at First City Bank of Dallas. Johns fraudulently obtained $903,300 in this way. First City indorsed the checks "P.I.G." (prior indorsements guaranteed) and presented them to First National for payment. First National paid the checks and later recovered from its insurer, Fidelity & Casualty Co Fidelity sought recovery from First City, claiming that Johns's forged indorsements did not authorize First City to pay the checks and that First City should bear the loss. Do you agree? Why or why not?
