On Motion for Rehearing.
A short time before the filing of this suit, appellant Howard attached a recording device to his telephone and called the appellee Randall and carried on a conversation with him relative to their differences. Upon the trial of this case, appellant offered in evidence such recorded conversation. To its introduction appellees objected and the objection was sustained by the court. By his sixth point appellant complains of this ruling. We have carefully considered the evidence and are of the opinion the court did not err in refusing to admit it. It shows upon its face to be an attempt to negotiate a settlement and compromise of the differences between the parties and, therefore, is inadmissible. If the evidence had been admitted it would not have changed the results. Appellees would still have been entitled to an instructed verdict.
*913We have again carefully reviewed the record in this case and have concluded that the disposition we made thereof in our original opinion is correct.
The motion for rehearing is overruled.
