Deatherage Wins Lost Contract Suit In Civil Docket
Circuit court for the May term closed with Judge Shackelford clearing civil cases. The key ruling involved S. N. Moberly's suit against N. B. Deatherage to set aside a deed from about 15 years earlier. The plaintiff claimed a written contract to reclaim the land at about $40 per acre, but the court ruled for the defendant after payment evidence showed three installments. The land is now valued at about $200 per acre. An appeal was taken from the verdict. New trials were denied for Gay and Hymer-Wides.
