1. ““The trial court was correct in holding that the evidence did not establish a resulting trust. The evidence was conflicting and not conclusive. The plaintiff conveyed by general warranty deed, without reservation or limitation on the title. The trust agreement was oral. Had the agreement to hold the land in trust for plaintiff, and to reconvey, been in writing, it would have established an express trust. The oral agreement to that effect is not enforceable as an express trust. Sections 11803, 11808, 11820, 11821, O. S. 1931; Reed v. Peck & Hills Furn. Co., 94 Okla. 212 , 220 P. 900 ; Bryant v.
