MRS. HINCKLEY
GAINS A POINT
The Blythe Estate Case
Reopened in the Fed
eral Court.
Judge Morrow May Yet Nullify
His Decree Made on
Saturday.
Florence's Possession of the Big
Property Left Undisturbed
for Awhile.

The decision of United States Judge
Morrow in the Blythe estate case in which
he awarded the entire property of the
dead millionaire to the Blythe comt any,
on default, produced decided sensation
around town and for time srattled' the
many attorneys engaged in the litigation.
Under the decree and order the estate
went to Jew outsiders who had pur-,
chased the interests of number of he
original claimants, known as the English
or Liverpool Blythes. 1t happened in
this way. John w. and Henry T. Blythe
began an action in the Federal courts
against Mrs. Florence Blythe H Hinckley
and the B,ythe Company. The case be-
came very much com plicated by the many
amen0m ments, demrrrers, cross bills, ETC..
and the last feature was another suit or
cross complaint brought by the Blythe
company against the others for full pos
session of the entire estate.
According to the records al. the neces-
sary papers were served on the defend
ants, but no response was made thereto,
and after the legal iaIse of time the Judge
made a decree for the company, This
was hard pill TO swallow, especially after
the attorneys for Mrs Hinckley had
fought for her rights for the past ten or
twelve years and had won their case in
the State courts. w. III. III. Hart, the
latter's attorney. declared that the whole
matter was a mistake on the part of The
Judge, who evidently had not been in
formed of certain orders made by Judge
McKenna as long ago as ia.t February
relative 10 a m otion made by Mr.. Hart for
a dismissal of the entire matter in the

to get in their petition, which they were
not slow to do. The petition was TO set
aside the decree and order taken in default
ings. The petition recited three causes
why the decree should not prevail. sThe
first was that there was no @ervice u pon
Mrs. Florence Blythe Hinckley by the
plain tiffs the Blythe Company. The lady
was out OF town at the time and the paper
was handed to Mrs. Harry Hinckley,
sister-in-aw, and thus the return was
defective. The next point was the order
of Judge McKenna, previously mentioned.
And the last was that the entire Blythe
case had been exhaustiveiystried and set
tied in the State court and that the Fed
eral court has no jurisdiction whatever.
OF cou Sc the attorneys for the Blythe
Company OBJ cted TO tse reconvening OF
the court in he first lFace, and to the ad-
mission OF the position in the second
place. Mr.. Tow1e protested that the court
had no right under the law 10 reopen the
court, and that be ng So had no right to
receive or consider such petition as pre-
sented. Ill was overruled, wheieupon he
asked that the court appoint rec .iver 10
look after the property and collect the
rents.
Judge Morrow said that he had no in
cIination 10 do so or to disturb present
possession. So he issued an order staying
all proceedings and left Mrs. Hinckley in
possession OF the Blythe block. He said
hat he will dispose Of the matter as
ouicklv as possible, with justice TO all par
ties. This will be one of The first cases
taken up in the July term.

view of the Records in Real
Estate Transactions.

Matters in the realty line continue rather
quiet. They are better, however, than is
general expected az this season, fer a lul
III the real estate world never fails to come
after the celebration of the natal holiday.
This is due to various reasons, some known
and some mex plieable.
Buyers will naturally rest easily until the
tax rate has been fixed and it is definitely as
certained whether or not the burden of taxa
ton has TO be borne more heavily or light
ened
No auctions have ye. been announced for
this week Sales held during the last week
yielded very fair returns.
The building interests are still active, but
the class of improvements entered on is oil d
cheaper nature. The amount OF money in the
business here has suffered contraction;
there can be no doubt of that. The cheapness
of building material probably accounts for the
fact that the total value of contracts ntered
into last month god deal less than in
June OF previous years.

reunited to his wife. Saba, who had
been arrested and subsequently released

cured an order from Judge Woodward
for the appearance of the girl in court.

decided to permit her to go and declare
her choicc-themselves or Saba.
The meeting of husband and girl wife
took place in the Office of Mr.. Kearney S
attorney, Saba was accompanied by
about 100 of his countrymen, anxious to
see the outcome. They awaited the is
sue outside and a large crowd soon
gathered.
Brought face to face with Saba the
girl was asked to choose. She quickly
decided. Il love John and will go with
him." she said. Her jubilant husband
and four policemen escorted her through
the crowd, who gave II rousing cheer
when they made their appearance,
