A mortgage given to secure the purchase money, made simultaneously with a deed to the mortgagor in pursuance of an agreement that such mortgage shall be given, has precedence over a prior deed of trust given by the same mortgagor. Wendler v. Lambeth, 163 Mo. 428; Note in Am. Law Rep., Annotated, Vol. 25, page 92. A mortgagee or a grantee, in searching the record, does not have to look past the title of his grantor or a conveyance lying in his chain of title. He does not have to look for conveyances made by such grantor before he acquired title. Dodd v. Williams, 3 Mo. App. 278; Ford v. Unity Church Ass'n, 120 Mo. 498; Am. Law Rep., Annotated, Vol. 25, page 89. BRADLEY, J.
Since it was introduced for this purpose, it is not hearsay, Manz v. Commonwealth, Ky., 257 S.W.2d 581 (1953), and does not violate the attorney/client privilege since by attacking his attorney's competence, Gall waived any privilege resulting from the relationship. See Dodd v. Williams, 560 F. Supp. 372 (N.D.Ga. 1983). Gall's next argument is that the court abused its discretion in overruling Gall's motion for a continuance in the RCr 11.42 hearing to secure out-of-state witnesses and evidence which he alleges were material in proving his ineffective assistance of counsel claim.
