Facts

Shields (P) the grantor claims he signed a deed and left it with Thompson to be delivered to Flynt when Flynt paid the balance of purchase money. The deed was recorded that same day. Sometime thereafter Flynt sold to Sanders who sold to Mays (D). P claims that D knew of the paper. D claims he is an innocent purchaser for value without knowledge of the escrow or that the instrument had been improperly delivered and recorded. P got the judgment and D appealed.
