Benton Turner, recalled: 

 By Mr. Davie: 



Q. I would like to ask Mr. Turner one question; in the first of your 

 evidence you spoke of owning 7,500 acres of land, and there was an 

 action brought against you to test the title, and after that action was 

 commenced you say Mr. Garmon had a talk with you in which he pro- 

 posed that you and he should agree on the price of the 7,500 acres at 

 $15,000 and you were to pay $11,000 to the State for taxes on that, and 

 the balance $4,000 was to be divided between you and him; I want to 

 know whether that was ever consumated or whether it was all talk ? 



A. It was never consummated.
