- This action was instituted by Earl Maybee and Myrtle Kennedy. The plaintiffs, who were heirs of R.J. Maybee, deceased husband of Elsie Maybee. On May 1, 1946, Elsie Maybee, who is one and the same person as Mrs. R.J. Maybee and Elsie Van Dike, was the owner of the following described real estate: lots one (1), two (2), three (3), four (4) and five (5) in block one (1) in the Original Town of Sperry, Oklahoma, together with an adjoining acreage 410 feet wide, also in the town of Sperry.... Here are the facts you ask me to believe as I understand them. Jones had a contract to buy, and she made out a deed, which she retained. He was unable to pay, and so Blagg went down and gave her $1000.00 two five-hundred dollar bills. He just happened to have ten (10) $100.00 bills which he changed for two $500.00 bills. Then he took the deed she had made to Jones - didn't take a new deed - and didn't put it on record and never asked Jones to give him a deed. He paid his $1000.00 out with no deed to him - took only a deed made to Jones and didn't even ask Jones to make a deed to him. After she died he put the deed from her - which had been in his possession - on record, and on the same date asked Jones to make him a deed. That to my mind is unbelievable, and so contrary to ordinary human experience that I find it difficult to believe that. He says Mrs. Maybee didn't want this on record because she didn't want this welfare people to know she had sold it, yet six months later, this agreement she made with Jones recites that on the 25th day of June, 1946, that she had made a deed to Jones and that was put on record in 1947. Evidently she didn't object to that going on record. On the whole it looks extremely suspicious."I find the issues generally in favor of the intervenors - the grandchildren of Mrs. Maybee. As I indicated the other day, the deed to lot one (1) and the north twenty (20) feet of two (2), I find the evidence is insufficient to set that aside, the other deed, however, is set aside. I find the equities in this case require Blagg be allowed to keep lot four (4) upon the payment of the value of the lot without the improvements, which I find to be $125.00. The south thirty (30) feet of Lots two (2), Three (3) and Five (5) will go to the intervenors. I believe this woman was of an age where she was easily imposed on and I doubt very much that the $1000.00 was ever paid, and it is very doubtful whether there was any legal delivery made, but conceding there was, I find no consideration was paid, and that Mrs. Maybee was over-reached, consequently the deed is set aside.
