farmer T. j. Wilson of Pecos
to sign a $94,500 mortgage on
nonresident fertilizer tanks

profiting by $70,275 from the
sale of the contract to the CIT

Estes lawyers argued that
the mortgage signed by Mr..
Wilson was worthless because
the tanks securing it never ex-
listed; that there was no mis-
representation because Mr..
Wilson received $500 to let
Estes use his credit, plus guar
antics against loss, and that
Estes, not Mr.. Wilson, actu-
ally was the buyer of the mort
gagged property. In addition,

Estes.
