commenced within the time limited therefor after he comes into the State. If a person is absent from
and resides out of the State, after a cause of action has accrued against him, the time of his absence
from the State shall not be taken as a part of the time limited for the commencement of the action. If a

by any person whose cause of action has been barred by the laws of any state, territory or country while
all the parties have resided therein.
