Plaintiff Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (hereinafter F.D.I.C.) instituted this replevin suit against Larry G. Crismon and W. W. Harris, seeking possession of a Caterpillar tractor and damages for its taking and detention. Intervening plaintiff Edwin M. McCabe sought possession of the tractor and damages from F.D.I.C.
W. W. Harris disclaimed any interest in the tractor and was dismissed from the suit by F.D.I.C. Answer was filed on behalf of Larry G.
