ON MOTION FOR REHEARING
The appellant urges the fact that the checks were payable to both Mr. and Mrs. Cochran created a presumption that each was entitled to receive one-half. We are unable to agree. The pleadings and proof were that all injuries were to Mrs. Cochran. Appellant sought damages for tortious interference with a contract with Mr. and Mrs. Cochran. She did not make or ratify said contract.
The burden of proof was on the appellant to establish that included in the payments made were damages over which Mr. Cochran had control and also the amount thereof. This he has failed to do.
Motion overruled.
