out the Jurisdiction OF the Court having

where the deceased may have resided,
and hence are absolutely void. tSee In.
diana TeviSGd laws Of 1878, p. sos, sec. 90 J
The deceased In the case, 1t Is admitted
Is sufficiently proven and clear, died In
Jefferson county, Indiana, and not In
CLARK, where English administered, and
that the letters granted TO him by Clerk
In different county than where the death
occurred by the laws OF Indiana are not
only vOidAble, but absolutely void. II
there was not proper Jurisdiction, as the
proof has shown satisfactorily, The letters
thus granted without that Jurisdiction
were void alb iniliO, and no act under them
by the administrator Is biuding TO prejudice
the interest oil tho innocent claimants In
this case, and the Government should now
pay II or these children lose their rights,

n. B.-Mr. Cooper Is very DESTROYS o
an early opinion In this case. W. L. NJ.
The following are the notes Of Secretary
Marcy In the case:
Faetsin the ease Of the children Of Sarhl
Easton, deceRsed: Mrs. Easlon was en-
titled to five yeaH' pension, amounting K
more than 5000, being the widow Of /
deceased revolutionary officer. Her grand
son, w. II. Epgllah, took ont letters o
administration in 1875, In CLARK county
Ind and the amount due was paid 10 hin
GB such administrator.
Mr. Cooper was appoined administration
OF Sarah Easton In Jefferson county, Ia
1913, and clalma the amount due TO MIS-
Easton on the following grounds:
II AppeaTsthAt the law oil Indiana directs
that lelters Of administration be granted
by the courts OF the county where the de-
ceased lived, And MI. Cooper adduces
proof 10 show. and for the purpose OF pros.
ccuting the points Of law the fact Is admit.
ted, that AIfS. Easton did reside In JefieF.
son county at the time Of her decease, and
not In CLARK county, from the court Of
which English obtained his letter oil I'D.
minislrALlon.
It Is also alleged, and, for the purpose
OF raising the question Of law, admitted,
that English has not paid the money he
received as Administrator to the children
Of Mrs, Easton, who, by the pension law,
are entitled TO Il.
The pension law directs the payment In
such cases 10 the executor or administra.
tor, not MS assets which go TO creditors,
but for the purpose OF being paid 10 the
children, the rightIul claimants.
W. J.. MARCY,
Secretary Of War.
