On Motion for Rehearing.
Dr. Green, a witness for appellant, testified, in regard to the sale: ‘‘I bought this land from Mr. Bound about the 1st of December, 1910.” He stated that Hitt was present when he was negotiating for the purchase over the telephone, but that Bound did not know that fact. He made all the arrangements for the purchase. When the contract was drawn up by 'the attorneys of appellant, the name of Hitt was not mentioned therein, and appellant never heard of Hitt being a party to the contract until it was returned with his name appended. While he'states that Green mentioned something about a partner, he did not consider him in the transaction. He swore he knew nothing about the partner, and did not name him in the contract. He sold the land to Green. The name of Hitt was not mentioned in the contract, although he may have signed it, without the knowledge or consent of appellant.
There is no merit in the motion for rehearing, and it is overruled.
