LOCATING OF OIL
ALL GUESSWORK
Postponed since Feb. 9, trial was resumed in Superior Judge
F. C. Drumm's court in an action brought by Charles E.
Sprouse of Riverside-co. to compel A. B. McLean of Fullerton to complete payments on ten acres of land at Temecula.
McLean has a counter suit in which he asks a court order to turn $1000 he placed in escrow for the land, which he asserts was misrepresented to him.
The suit of Sprouse demands that McLean pay a balance of $2500 on the contract. After depositing the money in escrow, McLean learned that the property had no oil prospects, as re-presented and while the purchase price was $3500, in reality the land is worth but $650 he contends.
Bert Moss, of Brea, who McLean claims was an agent for Sprouse and who is alleged to have told McLean of the oil prospects, was on the witness stand today.
He denied any connection with the deal, and likewise denied that before McLean bought the property he told him of a well that was being drilled nearby.
"I later saw the well going in," Moss testified, on questioning by the court, "and it was then I told McLean that it looked to be like a promising project."
"Were you ever mistaken in your predictions about oil?" the court asked him.
"Sure, many times," was the reply. "It's all guesswork."
