to pay all the interest, arrangements
were made with him so he consented
to deed this farm to John Twombly
without a foreclosure. The orator
claims that this deed was to secure
Twombly as collateral just the same as
the notes of Chadwick had done. And
| the orator claims the right to redeem
the farm by paying the debt which
Samuel Twombly owed to John
Twombly deducting the rent of the
farm for the time since the deed was
given, allowing interest on the origi-
nal debt, or the defendant shall pay
the amount due the plaintiff after de-
Quoting the debt and interest. The
| defendant claims that the deed of the
farm was given to liquidate the debt
and was not collateral at all, and that
it was a bono fde settlement in full
satisfaction of all demands on Samuel
Twombly by John Twombly. Much
evidence was given as to the value of
the farm when the suit was COM
menced in 1898. It appears that both
John Twombly and Samuel Twombly
died in 1892. The orator claims that
Aaron Twombly, who was the agent
for Samuel TwombIy, frequently tried
to get a settlement with Johu Twom-
bly, previous to the death of his father
Samuel, but could not. After Sam
uels death the matter went on till
November 1898 when Roswell Twom-
bly, was appointed administrator of
the Samuel TwombIy estate. He
brought suit in chancery against w.
@. Twombly, who had been appointed
administrator of the John Twombly
estate. In 1899 a hearing of three
days was held with w. P. Stafford as
master, but he being appointed Judge,
was disqualified to act, and the matter
went over till H. F. Graham of Crafts
bury was appointed special master to
take evidence. There has been con-
siderable interest manifested and we
have taken. pains to obtain the leading
facts in the case from the plaintiffs
and defendants counsel. The decision
will not be given till the September
county court. w. w. Miles and Elisha
May are counsel for the plaintiff and
B. F. D. Carpenter and Young &
Young for the defendant.
