Interesting Question to Be Settled in

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
MUNCIE, Ind, May H.-The damage suit
of the Driscoll heirs against the Big Four
railroad for $4,000 damages for the killing
of Mr.. and Mrs. William Driscoll. at a
crossing in Muncie a few months ago, has
developed an interesting point.
Mr.. and Mrs. Driscoll were killed at ap-
proximately the same moment. Both have
heirs with distinct claims TO the estate. If
Mrs. Driscoll died first the property re-
verted to her husband for che few seconds
that he survived, after she had expired.
In this event the property, which is valued
al several thousand dollars. must belong to
his heirs-at-laW. If Mr.. Driscoll died first
the property reverted TO Mrs. Driscoll' 5
heirs. The attorneys for the heirs of Mrs.
Driscoll are attempting TO prove that she
died first.
