got first shot at buying a couple pieces of property.
And one of them was a Breckenridge piece that is
subject to this. I forget what the other piece was.
But because of my relationship with Mike, a couple
people had come to me. One of them was Mr.
Schoolfield. I believe he bought the parcel that Doc
Partin had gotten. I wasn’t interested in it.
And so Mike Bast had come to me and asked me if I
was trying to buy Sybil’s piece and/or if I could help
him buy it. And, basically, I, you know, told him I
wasn’t interested in it. I couldn’t--I had all I could
afford at the time. And, so I took him to Mike Partin
--they really knew each other--but I basically took him
to Mike Partin and said, Mike and Mike, why don’t you
all get together on Sybil’s behalf because Mike, Mr.
Mike Partin who was here, and his wife had been
handling his aunt’s, who is Sybil, handling all her
affairs and helping handle her cattle because she was a
widow. And I think she was the only sister in the
group, I believe, so she didn’t have any help. Anyway,
I kind of put the deal together for them, put the two
of them together, and recommended that Mike take Aunt
Sybil over to Steve Miles and have him do the closing
and so forth.
And, I think, because of my PR position in the
middle, dealmaker or whatever, it got put on one of my
cards by Alana, I think. Then, it appears, that a
couple days later, Mr. Miles--and again I’m guessing by
looking at this--had said, Wait a minute. This is not
Medlin’s deal. Start a card that says Sybil Partin and
transfer everything to Sybil Partin’s card. I’m
surmising this. I haven’t discussed this with Mr.
Miles. I’ve heard his testimony and Alana’s testimony
as to kind of how these things happen.
Mr. Miles referenced various checks accompanying ledger card No.
70042 and concluded that the references to “Partin” on that card
must refer to “Edward L. Partin”, known as “Geech Partin”, and
“Constance Partin”. Mr. Miles testified that the property
referred to in ledger card No. 70042 “was known or later
