On Motion for a Rehearing.
■Since the motion was filed, we have reconsidered the testimony in the record, and adhere to the conclusion reached before, that as a matter of law it was not sufficient to support the verdict and judgment. In the opinion disposing of the appeal, referring to the testimony of Mrs. Henry’s daughter, it was stated that Patillo “wrote to her, saying he was an old man, and didn’t expect to live long, as his health was failing him, and that he had arranged his business so that if her father wanted to live in the country they could live at said place.” In the motion it is asserted that the testimony of the witness was misconstrued, that her statement was as follows: “So he wrote me and told me * * * that he was an old man, and didn’t expect to live long, and that his health was failing him, and he had arranged his business so that if my father wanted to live in the country so that we could live there.” The language of the witness was as appellees in the motion assert it to have been. We do not think its meaning was wrongly construed in the opinion.
The motion is overruled.
