A Single Letter Involving Millions.
Cleveland Herald, March IS.

A singular letter is at the bottom of
the litigation in the Case estate. The
late Leonard Case dying without a
will, and leaving no wife or children,
brothers or sisters, nephew or nieces to
inherit, the heirship goes backward
Here arose the puzzle. The statutes
say in one place ancestors" and III
another Ancestor" when defining the
line of inheritance in such cases. If
the singular form expresses the mean
ing of the trainers of the statute, the
property is to be divided among the
brothers and sist rs of Leonard Cases
father and their heirs. II the plural
form, the relatives of the mother are
included In the distribution. The suit
was brought by one of the mothers rel
atives in order to have the question
definitely and amicably settled. Judge
Jones held, on Saturday. that in accord
ance with old custom and equitable
fathers side only, and the doubtful
word should be construed in the singu-
lar. The point is an important one, as
establishing precedent in the settle
ment of estates, and it is understood
that the decision of Judge Jones was
not meant to be final, but merely as the
first step toward bringing the matter
before the supreme court at the earliest
practicable day. Thus bit Of care
less penmanship or bad proof reading,
in inserting an unnecessary IS, or
omitting that little letter when il should
be used, is the cause of all this itiga-
finn dnlay and expense
