APPENDIX BY THE COURT:
ALL RIGHT, I THINK THE REMARKS BY MR. ELLISON ARE TRUE TO SOME EXTENT, THAT A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT THE COURT LET IN WERE NOT REAL RELEVANT TO THE DETERMINATION AS TO THE LEGALITY OF THIS CONTRACT. I WANTED TO HAVE A FULL HEARING, AND I THINK THE RECORD IS COMPLETE, AND A LOT OF IT HAD SOME RELEVANCE, NOT MUCH BUT SOME, OTHER TESTIMONY HAD MORE.
OF COURSE, THE HISTORY OF THIS DUNHAM MATTER GOES BACK TO THE DEATH OF TED, SR., APRIL 17TH, 1974, HIS ESTATE HAS BEEN IN THE HANDS OF THE EXECUTORS SINCE THAT TIME. THE HISTORY OF THAT SUCCESSION AND THE TERMINATION OF ITS FIRST EXECUTRIX IS FOUND IN THE CASE OF SUCCESSION OF DUNHAM, 408 SO.2D 880 OR 888, I'M NOT SURE WHICH. THAT GIVES A HISTORY FROM '74, YOU MIGHT SAY, UNTIL LATE '81 AND THEN WE COME UPON THE SCENE AS FAR AS THIS CASE IS CONCERNED. EVIDENCE REVEALING THAT IN LATE '81 JUDGE DOHERTY WAS SEEKING A NEW EXECUTOR TO REPLACE KATHERINE DUNHAM AND ON THE RECOMMENDATION OF DEAN ROSS, OR FORMER DEAN ROSS, COLLEGE OF COMMERCE AT LSJ HE SPOKE TO DR. FRED ENDSLEY IN DECEMBER OF '81 AND IN FEBRUARY OF '82, OFFICIALLY APPOINTED HIM EXECUTOR OF THE DUNHAM SUCCESSION AND CO-TRUSTEE ALONG WITH THE BATON ROUGE BANK, WHO WAS REPRESENTED BY J. COOPER HARRELL. I THINK LNB, THE FORMER CO-TRUSTEE, HAD RESIGNED. JUDGE DOHERTY, THROUGH HIS TESTIMONY, MADE IT *1325 CLEAR THAT HE INSTRUCTED DR. ENDSLEY WHAT HE - WHAT THE COURT WANTED. THE COURT WANTED SOMEONE TO GO IN AND TRY TO CONCLUDE THIS SUCCESSION, DIDN'T WANT THE EXECUTOR AND CO-TRUSTEE TO TAKE SIDES, WANTED HIM TO REMAIN INDEPENDENT AND NEUTRAL SO HE WOULDN'T BE OBLIGATED OR INDEBTED TO DO SOMETHING FOR SELF-INTEREST. THAT WAS THE WHOLE THRUST, AS I GATHER, OF JUDGE DOHERTY'S CONVERSATION WITH DR. ENDSLEY, THOUGH IT IS CORRECT, AS STATED BY MR. ELLISON, NO SPECIFIC ONE, TWO, THREE ORDERS WERE GIVEN - AND ALSO BY MR. FALCON. HE ALSO APPOINTED, AT THAT TIME, MR. LEON GARY TO BE THE ATTORNEY FOR THE EXECUTOR AND THE TRUSTEE, DR. ENDSLEY, AND I THINK THE RECORD IS CLEAR AND COUNSEL HAS REITERATED THE RECORD IN THEIR ARGUMENT - AND REALLY THERE'S NOT - THERE'S HARDLY ANY DISPUTE ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED IN THIS MATTER. I MEAN IT'S ALL - THERE'S NO GREAT FACTUAL DETERMINATION FOR THIS COURT TO MAKE AS TO WHAT HAPPENED, FEW LITTLE AREAS BUT NO REAL SIGNIFICANT AREAS ARE IN DISPUTE. DR. ENDSLEY WENT IN AND, OF COURSE, HAD SOME CONTACT WITH DICK AND MADE A LOAN, NOTHING ILLEGAL ABOUT THAT. YOU MIGHT SAY IT WAS CONTRARY, POSSIBLY, TO THE DIRECTION GIVEN BY JUDGE DOHERTY TO HIM AND IT CERTAINLY GAVE BAD APPERANCES AS TO WHAT FOLLOWED - WHAT FOLLOWED THE LOAN WAS DR. ENDSLEY, WHO HAD FULL CONTROL OF THE STOCK, AT LEAST HAD THE MAJORITY VOTE, COULD DO
