The Sumner Case-New Move in
Korean Sults-Many Matters
Before the Courts.

After the hearing of the new phase
of the Sumner case, which concluded
about $3.50, the Supreme Court yester-
day afternoon took up former Auditor
Austin's claim for salary while he was
under suspension by the Governor
THE SUMNER CASE.
In the Summer case the question as
to making the Ellis families and st.
Louis College parties was early an
swered as to the college by the filing
of u full release of it's claim by the
Lord Bishop-elect of Zeugma, in con-
sideration of the donation of $4,000
by Sumner to that institution as pre-
viously acknowledged by his prede-
cessor, the Bishop of Panopolis. Mr..
Humphreys suggested a technical OBJ
lection on the ground that the Bishop
elect was not yet consecrated. but the
court checked a reply by Mr.. Davis
with the statement that, as no posi-
tive objection had been made, the re-
lease would be admitted for what it
was worth. The argument then pro-
ceeded, marked by some acidulous pas
sages between counsel. Against the
motion to make the Ellis families and
the college parties, the time was divid-
ed between Messrs. Davis and Magoon
The case was taken under advisement.
ANCIENT WILL CASE.
John F. Colburn has made a fresh
move toward reopening probate of the
will of Robert William Holt by the
Supreme Court nearly forty-one years
ago. He petitions that Carlos a.
Long, or some other suitable person,
be granted letters of administration de
bonis non on the estate. 1t is claimed
in the petition that since the death of
Alexander ]. Cartwright in 1892, there |
has been nobody legally appointed to |
administer the estate, although Bruce |
Cartwright and Henry Smith have
each successfully assumed to act as
trustee under the will.
