who bad loaned a meat deal of tnonry
throughout C.rotrta. ad vanned to a
Mr*. Loud tJ.’OO on the !*! arrea of
land adjoining the Murray Hill Land
and Improvement company property.
The Inter cat araa to he paid annualW
on thin loan. For the drat year Mr*
Loud paid thl* Interaat, the intereat not
twin* raid for IMS or l«M. and In I**s
Miss Stanley undertook to collect her
debt, when It aaa dlecovered that the
property had been levied mi and aold
for taxes In September, 1»M. and had
been hid In by the ann-ln-law of Mr*
Loud for Ills Mr. R. M. Mlaon made
the purchase.
A» anon a* the fart aaa discovered
by Mias Stanlay the amount of money
paid at the tax sal* aaa tendered to
Mr. Mixon, together with the usual
■premium of tax "alee He refuaed to
accept It, and claimed that Mies Stan
ley had no right to redeem the prop
erty.
Litigation was then Instituted, charg
ing that It aaa colluakut on the part
of Mr. Mixon with Mr*. Loud to ob
tain poaaeeslon of thl* property with
out paying the mortgage on It.
The caae was artru'-d acme time. In
IW6 went to the supreme court and
there was decld»d that the Jury should
determine that whether the levy of the
sheriff was excessive, and that, If It
yeas, the deed to Mr. Mixon ahouid bo
set aside a» Illegal and void.
On yesterday this iaaue was tried by
the Jury. a* well as the issue «a to
whether the Improvements that Mr.
Mixon had put on the property were
put there by him In good faith, think
ing that the property was his own. The
juty rendered a verdict answ-erlng cer
tain questions that were submitted to
them by the Judge, wherein they decid
ed that the levy « as excessive, and that
Mr. Mixon was not a purchaser In good
faith—thus setting aside the sale to
Mr. Mixon, and allowing the mortgage
to be collected from the land.
The plaintiffs case was managed hv
Mr. J. J- Spalding, of Atlanta, and by
