Mrs. Myra Clark Gaines has won her case again
Her father, Daniel Clark died in 1918, leaving a
large property IN Louisan city lots and planta.
tions, now worth 30 or 40 millions. This property,
under will executed in lsl went to Myras grand
the executor for her benefit. Myra, in 1881, found
an old letter giving an account of will executed
in lSl3 giving the bulk Of the estate to her. She
began an action to prove this will in 1884, and in
1856 it was adjudged the last will and testament
of Daniel Clark by the Supreme Court of Louisi
ana, on oral testimony of the witnesses of the
document, though the will itself was never found.
The objection was then interposed that she was
not the legitimate daughter of Daniel Clark and
that the will was invalid for that reason. This
question was carried to the Supreme Court of the
United States and there decided in the lady's fa-
vor. She has now scored another victory by the
decision of Judge Billings of the United States
District Court of Louisiana, and this decision. il
confirmed by the United States Supreme Court,
to which an appeal has been taken, will crown her
labors with complete triumph.
