Womack (P) received a deed for the mineral rights connected to land from his brother. The deed was delivered to P with the grantee's name not filled in, though the deed was complete in every other respect. P's brother died before P filled in the grantee's name on the deed. Stegner (D) claimed an interest in the land as the brother of P's brother's widow: if the deed at issue were not valid, title would have passed to P's brother's wife, who had also died by the time this suit was brought. At the close of P's case at trial, D moved for a directed verdict, which was granted. P appeals.
