MYRA CLARKE GAINES WILL,

Estate.

elimination Of . Long Litigation Over HeI
Estate.
The decision in the Myra Clark Gaines will
case in Brooklyn, yesterday, that the alleged
will Of January 8, 1885,, was forged. ends serie.
OF famous ltigations. The decision is the cul
minating act in a long litigation carried on
since 1885 in the courts Of Louisiana and Ne "
York, fitting continuation Of the life Of Mrs
Myra Clarke Gaines.
Mrs. Gaines was the daughter Of Gen. Daniel
Clarke and Madame de Grange. and as his hei,
she sued the city of New Orleans in 1884 for the
value Of lands on which the city had built This
litigation continued through the state and
federal courts for more than fifty years, and
two score OF the greatest lawyers in the coun-
try were pitted against each other in it. 1t was
finally decided in her favor, but not until after
she had died. She was twenty-eight years old
when the suit began; she was seventy-nine when
she died. January 8, 1885. Her first husband.
Whitney, died and she married Gen. Gaines,
refusing Lord Ashburton's proposal She had
son. He died in family quarrel by the hand
Of Jas. H. Christmas. her sOn-in-law All that
was left was the daughter-in-law. Hattie Whit
ney OF this city. After death had claimed this
energetic old woman a judgment in her favor
was given for about 81 ,00O, 900.
THREE WILLS FILED.
Immediately after the death of Mrs. Gaines
three wills, dated respectively January 49, and
8, 1885, were offered for probate at New Or
leans and a contest began between the wills Of
Janury and Januarys. The first bequeathed
all her property to James G. Christmas and
Mrs. Hattie Whitney and named James G.
Christmas and William H. Wilder as executors.
1t had five witnesses.
The other will was not witnessed, but pur-
ported to be in Mrs. Gaines own handwriting.
1t appointed her friend. Mrs. Marie p. Evans,
as executrix, giving her one-third of the prop
erty and leaving large legacy to Mrs. Evans
mother. Mrs. Julietta Perkins. The remainder
of the property was lef. to Mrs. Gaines six
grandchildren, all of whom were minors. Such
will would be valid in Louisiana. but not in
any other state.
The proponents Of the earlier will pro-
nounced the Photographic will forgery.
In his opinion the Brooklyn surrogate says:
my conviction is absolute that on January 8,
1885, it was a physical impossibility for Mrs.
Gaines to have written the words and figures
New Orleans, January 8, 1885,, in the holo-
graphic will Of that date, as it is claimed. From
the evidence Of the physician and the people
about her in her last illness believe it was ut
terly impossible for her to have written the
first line or any line of that will"
