LOSES THE REQUEST
SALVATION ARMY WILL NOT RE-
CEIVE THE SNUG SUM OF
$4,000
WHICH GEORGE EATON LEFT.
ARMY HAS NO LEGAL EN-
TITY.
NEITHER HAS ANY BRANCH OF 1T.
Not So Constituted of Organized
That 1t Is Capable of Being
Beneficiary of the Bequcsts

The local branch of the Salvation
Army lost a bequest of $4,000 received
under the will of George Eaton by a
decision handed down by Judge Otis
in the case of H. w. Lane and others,
executors, which held the Salvation
Army to possess no legal entity and to
be incapable of taking or holding the
title to the real or personal property
to which it fell heir through one of it's
deceased members. The decision will
be in the nature of blow to the local
Salvationists. who counted on the be-
quest as a means Of providing the army
with permanent home and place of
meeting.
George Eaton was member of the
Salvation Army and of the Central
Park NJ. E. church,Who died year ago,
leaving an estate valued at about $19,-
600. By his last will and testament he
directed that his estate should be di-
vided into three equal parts and that
but one part should be turned over to
his relatives. One of the other third
was to go to the Salvation Army, to be
The Saint Paul globe., 1896-12-10

held in trust by the executors of the
will for the purpose of providing the
army with a place of meeting which it
could call its own, while the remaining
portion was bequeathed to the Central
Park Methodist church, to be used in
the cause of foreign missions.
When the provisions of the will were
disclosed, the relatives were dissatis-
fed with their portion of the estate,
and the executors were uncertain as
to their power, legally, to comply with
the requests of the deceased. 1t was
finally agreed that a friendly suit
should be instituted by the executors
against all of the benef1ciaries under
the will to determine how far the be-
quests could be carried out All par
ties in the action were represented by
attorneys at the trial, which lasted sew
eral days, when Judge Otis took the
matter under consideration
After a review Of the evidence the
court finds that the Salvation Army is
not so organized as to have a legal en-
t1ty or capable of taking or holding
the title to property, or of directing
through It's membership the control or
disposition of said property, all proper
the army being received, held and ex-
pended by the officers of the organiZa-
ton. Said Salvation Army so-called
and the part or branch thereof located
in the city Of st. Paul, is not so consti-
tuted or organized that it is or ever
| was capable of being beneficiary of
the property attempted to be devised in
trust for its benefit, as stated in article
of said will, and the said devise and
all of the provisions Of said article A.
of said will, are without force and
wholly null and void
The same grounds to shut off the
Central Park church were advanced at
the trial as were urged in the case of
the Salvation Army, but in regard to
this defendant, the court holds that it
is religious organization. duly ineor-
porated under the laws of Minnesota.
having as a part of its work the as
ssting and promoting of the cause of
foreign missions, and as such,-has-a
corporate legal entity and is, capable
of taking, holding and disposing of
property for such purposes, and at all
times was and is capable of taking the
title of the property devised to it by
the will of said George Eaton. The ar
ticle of the will relating to the be-
quest to the church is declared to be
legal and valid in all respects, and as a
conclusion of law the court orders a
division Of the estate of the deceased
! under the provisions of the WILL with
| the exception that in making said divi-
| sion the executors are to act as though
no bequest had been made to the Saliva
| ton Army.

NO PRE-ARRANGED LIST.
Another Decision Touching the
Struck Jury Law.

struck Jury Law.
Judge Brill yesterday rendered
decision effecting the struck jury law,
in which it is held that the lists from
which the jury is to be selected, must
be formally prepared in the presence
of the parties to the suit instead Of
being previously prepared by the
sheriff and presented in full a the time
of the striking" process, as has here
tofore been the custom. The decision
is the result of a motion argued before
the court at the last special term to
quash the struck juries in the cases
of C. P. Marvin VS.. w. H. Mcdonald
ct al and that of Ellen Rush, for
Philip Rush VS.. the City Railway COM
pany, which was based upon the
ground that the law had not been liter
ally complied with in procuring the
juries. Objection was made to the
process by defendants attorneys at
the time, but was overruled by the
sheriff, and the court holds that plain
tiff's further participation in the draw
ing Of the jury was not waiver of
his rights to enter a motion to squash
by reason Of the alleged irregularity.
In memorandum attached to the de-
cision in one of the cases the court re-
lateS:
The selection of struck jury is out of the
ordinary course of proceeding. The power to
select jury to try particular case is vested
in
The provisions of the law in so far as they
are for the benefit of the parties, must be
strictly followed. The law provides: ''At the
time designated, the sheriff shall attend at his
office and in the presence of the parties or
their attorneys - shall select from the
number of persons qualified to serve jurors
in the county, forty such persons he shall
think most Indifferent between the parties
and bes. qualified to try such issue"
The law is imperative that the selection
shall be made in the presence of the parties.
The reason for this provision undoubtedly IS
that the important function given to the sher-
if will be exercised more carefully when the
parties are present, and he will be less liable
to be subject to improper influences in MAX
ing the selection.
If the selection be made prior to the time
appointed and not in the presence of the
parties, the law is not complied with OF
course, it is not improper for the sheriff to
canvass the names of persons in his mind
prior to the time appointed, and when the
parties are not present, and it Is, perhaps,
not improper to make a memorandum before
hand; but the selection of the forty persons
must be made the law provides. In this
case it appears that the sheriff made the Sc
lection prior to the time appointed and not
in the presence of the parties or their at
torneys. He had determined the persons be-
forehand and had made The list and simply
submitted the result of his previous action.

pliance with either the language or spirit of
the law. The plaintiff having made his OBJ
jections and the sheriff having overrucd

plaintiff was not waiver

sTockHoLDERs MUST PAY
The 5000, ,Ie5 Debts of the Seven
Corners Bank.


Judge Egan has applied the double
liability law to the stockholders of the
defunct Seven Corners bank, and has
ordered the appointment of a receiver
to collect the pro rata amount of the
$202, 165.90 of the Indebtedness of the
Institution according to the individual
liability adjudged in the findings filed
in the case yesterday. The total LA
bility Of the stockholders is placed at
$170, 800, which leaves an excess Of in
dobtedness amounting to $40, ,365 80. The
original action was brought by Otto
Walther against the Seven Corners
bank after a settlement of the affairs
of the institution subsequent to it's
failure Aug. l, 1893. At that time a
receiver was appointed and after con-
verting all of the assets into cash, but
four and three-quarter cents on the
dollar was paid the creditors. This
settlement was by no means satisfac-
tory and the action was begun to hold
the individual stockholders liable. The
court finds that the stockholders are
liable and adjudges the amount due

RID OF HER HUSBAND
And Allowed to Assume Her Maiden
Name Again.

Hattie Olson secured a divorce at
the hands of Judge Willis yesterday
from her husband Anthony Olson, on
the ground of cruel and inhuman treat
ment. The parties were married at
Hudson, Wis, in 1894, and it was
shown that the defendant had abused
his wife almost continuously after the
marriage, until he left her, according
to the allegation of the complaint, to
enter into a second marriage with
Sadie Delaney at Appleton, Wis, in
May, 1895. There was no appearance
on the part of the defendant, and the
court granted the decree on the allega-
tions set forth in the pleadings. Plain
tiff was accorded the further relief of
being allowed to resume her maiden
name of Hattie Holt.
