A Person May Legally Reap Profit
from His Crime.
Suisun. GAL, November 25-Superior
Judge Buckles of Solano county has Just
decided an interesting case, involving the
question as TO whether a person can &C.
quire property as the direct result OF his
own crime The decision is in the affirm
alive.
Loomis, Frank Arthur, Thomas and
Susie Below were brothers and sisters !;
Lewis and Susie We're unmarried and each
possessed estates i'm their own right The
father and mother were both dead. Frank
was without funds and possessed fanny
with whom at the time he was not living
He murdered Lewis and Susie with no
apparent motive except to succeed to a
portion of their respective estates He
pleaded guilty and was hanged.
The petition was for the distribution of
the estate of Susie and Lewis Belew to the
surviving brothers and TO the estate of
Frank Below.
One of the brothers filed objection TO any
distribution being made to the estate OF
Frank Belew on tfe ground that he, hav
ing murdered his brother and sister, could
not succeed to any of the estate left by
them. To this objection a general de-
murrer was iItsrposed and has been sus-
tanned, Judge Buckles declaring that I'M
less the court can change the code of civil
procedure the estates OF Louis and Susie
Below must be distributed In equal parts
TO the estate OF the murdered Frank Belew
and the two surviving brothers.
