1.-THE deeds snow that, but it really
cost a good deal more"
well, speaking of what Delaney
got when he sold it to her?'
Yes, he got $3.50 all told, I believe"
THAT left Delaney with half in
terest?"
Yes
And he gave you an option on
March "a, 1894, on his interest to pur-
chase it for $500 within one year?''
Yes
SOLD FOR $4,000.
Mr. varian then reverted to the con-
tract with Hayken by which a half in
| terest in the Francis mine and 25-S2
of the Black Warrior and Holland
claims were sold by Norris to Hayken
on April 6, 1894, for $4,000. Seven
thousand, eight hundred dollars of
which was for the Francis and the
balance for the other two claims.
He paid you $500 at various dates.
Now why did you not make a deed to
him for the Francis according to the
contraet?'
u was never asked for it. 1t was at
his instance that the deed was not
made and recorded
He never asked for an abstract Of
title even?'
No"
DO you say he entered into this con-
tract. paid you money and took your
word for it that The title was all
right?"
4 had no faith in the sale to him
until he paid the first money; then
suggested to him that he consult an
attorney"
You sold this property to him in
nd In
own it?"
1T was really my wife's."
1T was owned by Mrs. Morrls?"
Yes. but when he paid the first
money 1 explained to him how the title
stood, and that it was Mrs. Morris"
why, after he paid you so much
money didn't you take up your option
from Delaney for his half?".
IT was Mrs. Norris half 1 sold to
Hayken."
Then this option with Delaney cuts
no figure at all. Why did you put it in
evidence?"
Judge Powers will explain that to
Ynu.''
Now which half did you really in
tend to convey to Hayken?"
Either half I liked, but it was for
Mrs. Morris benefit 1 made the con-
tract
Did your power of attorney author
ize you to make contracts in your own
name for her?'
II thought so, but I was not sure at
the time l made the sale whether 1
would take up Delaney's option or give
Hayken my wife's half
