Bernstein also testified that another debt of Wells' to him amounting to $575 had been cancelled by the transaction. At the present time, according to Bernstein there is a mortgage on the property, held by the Thomaston Savings bank, for £3,200, the opiginal mortgage of $3,700 having heen re- dueed since he acquired the property in his wife's name.

He had also sold a portion of the property to o Hartford party. It was his con- tention that he had been searching for two years for a farm which would meet the necessary require- ments for a cattle sales station and found that his present location was ideal for that purpose.
