4 RATHER important decision was re-
Gently rendered by the Supreme Court
which holds that a father who had killed
his daughter could not inherit her prop
erty. The case grew out of the cele-
brated Shellenbcrgcr murder at Ne
braska City. Shellenberger lived with
his second wife in 1866. He had two
children. who owned eighty acres of
valuable land near Nebraska City,
which they inherited from their dead
mother. Shellenberger murdered his
daughter, it was thought, to secure her
property. He claimed to inherit the
girls interest and when arrested for the
crime decided his right to Frank Ram
som, his attorney. for his defense. Shell
lenberger was afterward hanged by q
mob. Ransom brought suit in perti-
ton, and Judge Mason. Of Lincoln, was
appointed to defend for the son. The
court below decided for Ransom, but
the Supreme Court held that the faith
er's blood was tainted by the crime and
confirmed the title in the son.
