“Do not recollect whether I saw Grumley at his stole the day of the settlement. Recollect I saw him at the clothing store, but can’t say whether the settlement was made that day or the day after. My best recollection is that, it was made the same day. Grum-ley came to my office, I believe, the same day I saw him in his store, but can’t say how he got the information that I had the money for him. I went to see Grumley that day, because, although he had authorized me to settle the matter, I would not take the responsibility of settling for any man without his consent, although Judge Krum and myself had agreed upon the settlement. In what manner exactly the papers passed through my hands, I don’t know. I saw Judge Krum repeatedly about this matter. Judge Krum wanted the settlement should include Ijoth cases. The main matter in my mind was the judgment. Judge Krum wanted to include the other suit. I had not much faith in the other suit. Don’t know wh.ether the settlement was to include the other suit, from the fact that the other suit was to be dismissed. I inferred that it was to be dismissed by agreement. I don’t think I was authorized to settle anything but the judgment. Don’t recollect that I ever told Grum-ley that the suit .was dismissed at or about the time of the settlement. My impression, was that Grumley knew about it. I have no distinct recollection of telling him about it until his return from Memphis. * * * My impression is that I charged Grumley a fee only in the case in which judgment had *608been obtained. * * ' * My understanding was that the settlement was to cover both suits.
