me GaInen WIN Case.

In the Supreme Court Of the United
States Monday, 9th inst, Associate JUS
tice DAVIS decided one of the most lengthy
and important civil cases that has ever
been before that Court. The plaintiff was
Mrs. Myra Clark Gaines, wife Of Major
General Gainesof the United States Army,
and the defendant was the City of New
Orleans. Since the 18th of May, 1871,
this important case has dragged its slow
length through thetedious processes Of the
law, and on Monday reached 8 decision
that makes Mrs. Gaines the wealthiest
woman in America. The story is a long
one, but It's leading points may be con-
densed into 3 few paragraphs. -dr- CLARK,
father Of Mrs. Gaines, was born in Ire
land, and came to this country early in
the present century on the nEIsation Of a
bachelor uncle, who, 81 his death, be.
queathed to his nephew an immense esiate
in New Orleans. The management Of
Mr.. Clark was admirable and his inherit
Gnce grew to millions. In 1902 he had
married q lady named Zulelma Carrier,
who had separated from \ former husband
on finding that he had a wife still living.
For this reason her marriage with Clark
was q quiet one. Years rolled on. Myra-
Clark was born and her parents, through
some disagreement, separated. Her faith
er, however, still retained his affection for
bis daughter, and IN 1913 made q will
recognizing Myra as his child and devils
ing to her his enormous property. No
public acknowledgment of his marriage
had ever been made, and Mrs. Clark mar
ried again. Myra, ignorant Of her faith
er's viii in her favor, was given to q Mr..
Davis, by whom she was reared, knowing
nothing of her parents until after her
marriage with q Mr.. VIM. whitney,
This gentleman, in examining some old pa
pers, found the Clark viii, and 8 schedule
Of property embraced in it, amounting in
1899 to IS, I5T 200. Under a previous
will, bearing date 1911, three years prior
TO the real one, the partners of Mr.. Clarke,
Messrs. Chew and Rahe, had disposed of
property to the amount of S1,l5l,000, and
the action Of Mrs. Gaines has involved the
recovery of this entire amount as well as
the remainder Of the estate. Mrs. Whit
ney afterwards married General Gaines,
and with his aid prosecuted her claims in
the District Court-of Louisiana, in which,
after a lengthy litigation, she established
the validity Of the will dated 1919, which,
Is has been stated, was wholly in her ia
vor. Tired at length of the delay, she
rose IN the Court of Louisiana twenty
seven years ago and announced her inten-
lion Of carrying the case before the Su-
prene Court. The verdict of Monday is
the result. In his decision, Justice Davis
expressed the opinion of Chief Justice
Chase, and Associate Justice Nelson, Cliff
FORD and Field, besides his own, Associate
Justices Grier, Swain and Miller dissent
.ng. In point of magnitude of interests
involved, length of time occupied islitl-
and strength of mail decision, the
Gaines viii Case will take rank as one of
he most important ever decided by the
Court of this Government.
