How the Estate Was Eat
en- UD.

In 1853 Franklin @. Gray
died in this city leaving to his
infant daughter, Franklina, all
the estate he had acquired in
California. 1t was valued at
$237, 900 and G. j. Eaton and
Joseph Palmer were appointed
executors. ". H. Gray, uncle
Of the heiress, at once brought
suit, claiming partnership in
the estate to the extent of one
fourth, and Eaton soon after re-
signed his trusts and claimed
another partnership for one
third. These claims were re-
spectively compromised for
$1,000 and $4,000. In 1866,
P. G. Galpin, lawyer of New
York, Miss Gray's guardian,
was sent to California to see to
her interests, and found most
of her property appropriated by
strangers. He brought eject
ment suits and had John r.
Spring appointed in his stead.-
Spring gave him for his servic-
es nominally $4,000, but a lot
transferred by Spring worth
$1,000 is really valued at $780,
600, and there are $1,000 in
cash belonging to the estate not
accounted for. Two years ago
Miss Gray came of age, and
she has since been fighting for
her fathers bequest. All but
$4,000 Of it had been eaten up
by legal expenses when she was
put in possession of it last week,
after twenty-five years of litiga-
ton. The original property is
now worth over $1,0J0,0OO.-
