1Opinion of the Court
Opinion of the Court by
Judge Sampson
Affirming.
Throe doctors living at Heidelburg, Lee county, entered into an arrangement in 1916, whereby they were to buy and sell oil leases, but as Dr. Baker was a notary public, he was to solicit and obtain the leases and instead of using his name as one of the grantees, he was to and did use the name of his wife, Laura Baker, who is appellant herein. Among the leases obtained was one from John Williams, on Big Sinking Creek, in that county, containing twenty acres. There was no development for oil or gas in that immediate neighborhood in 1916 or 1917.
