Taylor presumed that the Attor-

Taylor said he thought the feel
was reasonable. He was appoint-

the oil June 4. He received a
check for it June 25 and turned
it over to the Attorney General's
department.
F. W. Renshaw, deputy super-

Receiver Taylor said he under-
stood the sale was agreed upon
at the price paid, but .otherwise
there might have been « long con-
test of the right’to confiscate
the oil. He said he had one
other offer from the Crown Pe-
troleum Co., Houston, but that was
tor 40 cents also. He did not
recollect if that offer also was
reported to the court.
The oil was paid for by a draft
on Amos M Felts, Austin attor-
ney, drawn on a Longview bank.
Oil in Four Tanks.
The oil was in four- tanks In
lots of 25,000, 55,278, 6987 and
4042 barrels. Taylor said he did
not personally take charge of the
oil or place anyone in charge or
have it measured. He said the
Attorney . General’s . Department
telephoned Railroad Commission
authorities in the field and were
satisfied the amounts were cor-
rect.
The committee next turned to
the suit over oil trapped in Glade
Creek. Committee Member Sid-
ney Latham said it was oil gen-
erally known as Dan La Rooe oil.
The amount was given as 5000
barrels, but he admitted that an
accurate estimate could not be
made.
