rrovy ,he Identity or CALIFORNIA; Cistuauss to
the Estate or Andrew Kipp was E.tabrshea.
KINGSTON, N. Y. Nov. 27.-The Hon. John
]. Linson. MS referee. has decided what has
been known as tho celebrated Kipp case, thus
bringing TO q close a romantic story covering q
period Of sixty years. BY his decision tho
California claimants, Nettie +. ". Peabody
and George +. L. Kipp, are rccoRniEed as
heirs Of tho estate Of Andrew Kipp, de-
ceased, OF Saugerties, whit died worth about
$40, 900. On the death Of Andrew Ripp his
brother, William e. Kipp, was appointed his
administrator, but later, when the matter
camo up in tho surrogate's Court, the California
heirs put in n claim that they were children Of
James Brown Kipp, a brother of Andrew, who
ran away from his home in Saugerties when a
boy and died in Los Angeles. In September,
1896, tho case was referred to Senator Linson
by Surrogate Belts. Hearings were had from
time to time until n few weeks ago, when the
matter was closed and submitted, the Califor.
MIA claimants being present at several hearings.
The reason for James Brown Kipp's run.
ming away from homo was given as fol.
lows: His father sent him and his brother
William to get a jug of liquor. While carry.
ing the jug BY means, OF a stick thrust through
the jug, and then ran home telling his father that
James Brown did 1t. The result was that James
Brown received n severe Whipping ana then ran
away to Poughkeepsie. There he shipped on a
whaling vessel, visited the Sandwich Islands,
went to Arizona among the Indians, and finally
settled in Los Angeles. where he married tho
mother OF the two claimants. Later no was
murdered by. q drunken man while protecting
the wife of his murderer.
During the many hearings the fact that the
male members of the Kip family have a very
prominent nose became an important factor in
establishing the identity of James Brown kipp.
1t was claimed that George +. l.. Kipp, the
California claimant, had the characteristic to
such an extent that his resemblance to his uncle
William was marked and could easily DO recog-
niZed.
A photograph of the mother of William and
Andrew, taken FROM an old daguerreotype at
~Saugertios, whence James Brown ran away,
and which bad been kept by him until his
death, was also considered as evidence Of
James Browns identity by tho referee. 49,,
The referee decided that Andrew Kipp died
intestate, leaving as his only next Of kin Will
liam f.. his brother, and the. two California
claimants, who, he finds, are children OF James
Brown. a brother Of Andrew. and that the
estate should be distributed, one.half to VII.
liam and one. fourth each to Mrs. Nettie E. v.
Peabody and George +. L., kipp. Had tho
claimants not established their relationship.
William would have received the whole estate.
