1. ““On August 16, 1957 Jim O’Boyle pledged to Harry M. Stanfield certain shares of stock in consideration of a loan in the sum of $50,000. On January 25, 1958, Stanfield released the stock to O’Boyle in consideration of the execution by O’Boyle of an agreement to substitute certain real estate for the shares of stock. Stanfield thereafter, on January 23, 1962, brought suit against O’Boyle alleging breach of the agreement and praying that O’Boyle execute a deed to the real estate in question or, in the alternative, for judgment in the amount of $52,050. Thereafter O’Boyle was adjudged to be a bankrupt and was discharged on September 1, 1964 by the bankruptcy court. In his schedule of obligations in the bankruptcy court O’Boyle listed the obligation owed to Stanfield. On November 16, 1966, Stanfield filed his first amended original petition in which he alleged that O’Boyle, in order to induce Stanfield to release the shares of stock, made false and fraudulent representations. Stanfield also countered O’Boyle’s discharge in bankruptcy contention by contending that since the property in question had been obtained by O’Boyle due to false pretenses or false representations the indebtedness was not discharged under the Bankruptcy Law of the United States. O’Boyle answered this amended petition by pleading the statute of limitations and further pleading that the indebtedness had been discharged in bankruptcy.””
