repeated in Syracuse, New York. In this

make his escape yjumping on board NOV

killed. 1t either of these young murderers
had come to trial the plea of emotional in

from reading the love and murder stories by
which their foolish imaginations are infamed
to such terrible deeds.

JUDICIAL DECISION CONCERNING CoNFIscA-
TED PROPERTY

JUDICIAL DECISION CONCERNING CoNFIscA.
TED PROPERTY.
An interesting decision in a confiscated
property case was made here Tuesday in the
supreme court of the district in the case OF
rhe heirs of c. S, Wallach, against John Van
Ri,wick. The facts are that he property of the
late G. S, Wallach was libelled under the con.
tiscatlon act and his e tate was purchased by
the defendant In 1866, after the return OF
Mr.. Walach, he and his wife conveyed The
property to Van Riswick in fee simple. Two
years thereafter Waacb was restored to the
full enjoyment of citizenship, and he died.
The suit was brought by the heirs to recover
possession of the property, mainly on the
ground that the estate therein of the defend
ant was terminated upon the death of their
ancestor, and that by reason of his share in
the late rebellion their ancestor was disabled
by the provisions of the act Of Congress and
the decree of confiscation above referred to
from doing any act which could legally affect
the reversionary fee III said property. To
this bill the defendant demurred generally,
ana the question of the ancestors co npeten-
y 70 execute deed was raised. The couct
ueclded that at the time of making the above
Mr NJ W4 conveyance to Mr.. Van Riswick,
in Nv allach possessed a leversionary interest
