Parte de los préstamos habían sido satisfechos, pero en abril de 1930, los deudores, que aún debían $230, suscribieron un pagaré por dicha suma que vencería dos años más tarde, en el cual la señora Rivera se obligaba principalmente y su esposo se obligaba como fiador y además como principal. La responsabilidad asumida era solidaria.

was chiefly liable
Part of the loans had been repaid, but in April 1930, the debtors, who still owed $230, executed a promissory note for that sum, falling due two years later, for which Mrs. Rivera was chiefly liable and her husband was obligated as surety and also as principal. The liability assumed was joint and several.

Register does seem to cause you apoplexy on a regular basis. I stand by my version, which covers the meaning perfectly IMHO.// your legal outlook is too often overly rigid and inflexible in my opinion.
