IT'S NO BARGAIN NOW.
Hudson County Can't Buy
That Snake Hill Land of
Grocer Thurber.
BECAUSE BE DOESN'T OWN IT.
Judge Dykman Finds for the Heirs
of DR.. Giles in Their
suit.

WHITE PLAINS, n. Y, May IL, 1e9l.-
Judge Dykman Saturday rendered de-
cision in favor OF the plaintiff IN the suit
Of Richard, Maud and Catharine Giles
against Horace K Thurber, the we'll
known grocer. The plaintiffs are children
Of the late DR.. Giles, of Mount Vernon,
who held as guardian for them valuable, i,
real estate djacent to the Hudson County
Penitentiary property In New Jersey.
The property was owned by Mrs. Giles and
upon her death the plaintiffs fell heir TO
it. While acting as their guardian, Mr..
Giles conveyed the property to pay an in
diyidual Indebtedness of about sc, 900 to
Mr.. Thurber by first conveying 1t to John
O'Neil and afterward transferring the
mortgage which Mr.. Thurber foreclosed,
being of the opinion that DR.. Giles owned
the property, which is valued at $50, 600.
Judge Dykman's decision vests title in
the children.
vifIates the Sale.
When I called on Judge McGrath,
counsel to the Board OF Efeeholders, to-
day, and asked him III what condition
this decision left the contested recent
purchase of a portion of Snake Hill by
the county, he said the terms of the sale
of the so-called Thurber tract could not
be carried out now. The. county must
make other arrangements and make
them with the heirs of DIR. Giles. The
Judge did not believe any negotiations
4 between the county and The Giles heirs
4 had taken place yet, but probably would
soon, II the county continued in the be-
lief that it should own the land.
II the Giles heirs refuse to sell the
property at a reasonable figure the Free
holders can apply to the Court to have it
condemned. Judge McGrath said this
decision of Judge Dykman In no way
effected the contract TO purchase and sell
the land owned by the estate of Abel j.
Smith.
A decision in the contest over this pur-
chase by the county will be reached on
the first Thursday In June Judge Nc
Grath believes that if the sale is set aside
this result will not prevent the county
from having the legal right to condemn
the lands wanted. and that course may be
taken. He said he knew Judge Smith
had been offered a greater price tnan he
was to receive from the county for the
land and that Judge Smith was anxious
for this reason that the sale should be set
aside.
