Adam Grant Has Won
His Big Law
suit.
A Very Important Decision
Rendered by the Su.
preme Court.
1he Only Reasont be Means of Dis.
tributing the Property Among
the Cla m nts.

The building and lot occupied by the
firm of Murphy, Grant & Co. will have to
be sold and the proceeds distributed
among the contestant heirs. This con-
firms the order of the lower court in the
suit brought by Adam Grant against Dan
iel T. Murphy, Mary Helen Dominguez
and other brothers and sisters, heirs of the
late Daniel T. Murphy and Anna l..
Murphy.
In that action the Supreme Court found
that the property in question is owned in
this proportion: Adam Grant, fourteen
twenty-fourths; Mary II. Dominguez, one
twentyfourth; Frances Josephine Muir
ply, one twenty-fourth; Mary Marguerite
Isabella Murphy. one twenty-fourth, and
the heirs of the late Eugene X. l.. Murphy,
one twenty-four.h. The remaining six
twenty-fourths was declared to belong to
the estate of the late Anna j.. Murphy,
widow of Grants former partner. and that
it should go 10 her heirs. However, the
Supreme Court stated that it was not
within the jurisdiction of that tribunal 10
decide who were her heirs. That matter,
it contended, belongs TO the probate de-
partment, where the case Is still pending.
This was anything but satisfactory to
several of the parties involved and the
case went 10 the supreme COurt upon the
appeal of Mary NJ. Dominguez, Frances j.
Murphy and Mary l. Murphy. They
made the point in their appeal that the
decree OF the Superior Court did not de-
termine, definitely or otherwise, who OF
the several parties interested are actually
entitled TO the interests of tho late Anna
L. Murphy.
The Supreme Court in its decision
affirmed the decision of the lower court in
ordering the sale of the property, holding
that it is the only fair and equitable
means of giving to the claimants and con-
testants their just deserts. The decision
is victory for Adam Grant. In summin z
up the case the Supreme Court says:
1t would seem just to allow the sale to be
made, leaving that part of the proceeds which
go to the successors in interest of Anna L.
Murphy, dece ased, TO await the determination
of said contes i'll the Probate Court.
And where, as in the case at bar, the court
has determined all matters over which 1t has
jurisdiction and has definitely ascertained all
the interests of all the contestants, except
only the issues between contesting claimants
In the Probate Court of the interest of a de-
ceased co-tenant, over which issues it has no
jurisdiction, and the premises must be sold in
order to effect just decision-there is de-
cree of sale, leaving the rights of said contes E
ing claimants to De determined in the cour I
having jurisdiction thereof, 1t is proper, is
