that thereupon he left the conclusion or

December 80, 1908. McNally advised
Newman to ask $4,000 for the prop
erty. to which Newman consented: that

that he, McNally, was accused OF de-
manding an exorbitant price. and sd-
vised the plaintiff to accept $4,000 for
the property. to which Newman agreed.

cred them to McNally, who subsequent
ly paid him $4,000, less exchange, in

McNally's official bond are also named
as defendants
