MRS. FRANCE WINS HER CASE.
Tome Institute Must Pay 500, 900
For Her Interest in Properties.

GOA HSl auNeAVSN Ia PAVP0A tI0S.
Judges Pearce and Crothers heard
on Tuesday the case of Evelyn s.
France against the Jacob Tome In
stitute on the application of the
latter for the appointment of a
temporary receiver of that portion
of the estate of the late Jacob Tome,
of Port Deposit, which was devised
by his will to his widow (now Mrs.
France) for life and then to the
institute, subject to her right to
convey to it her interest in the
property for 100000 cash at any
time within 10 years after his
death.
Mr.. Tome died in March, 1898.
In January, 1906, Mrs. France
notified the institute of her election
to sell her life estate to it and de-
manded the stipulated sum of
100000.
The institute did not deny its
liability for the money, but con-
tended that the property must be
delivered by the life tenant free
and clear of all tenancies, and re-
fused to pay the consideration at
this time, because four houses were
subject to outstanding leases and
the Cecil National Bank was in
occupation as tenant of the base
ment of the Tome mansion.
A bill for specific performance
was thereupon filed by Mrs. France
in the Circuit Court for Cecil
County, and the institute, having
answered the bill, applied to the
court to appoint receiver pending
the legal proceedings.
Judges Pearce and Crothers
denied the application, holding that
no receiver was necessary, as the
counsel for the institute conceded
that the only defense to the suit is
the occupancy of the tenants, which
the court holds is not bar to a
conveyance of the property by
Mrs. France or to her collection of
the sum of 100000.
John P. Poe, George Whitelock
and Robert G. Thackery are counsel
for Mrs. France and Peter E. Tome
and L. Marshall Haines represent
the institute.

been in the asylum at Cherry Hill
for five months, after which he was
sent to Catonsville asylum. He
served for two years as a soldier in

fused to do, saying the heat was
causing him to suffer. He went to
the barn and procured an empty
bottle which he brought to Rising

stating to the clerk that he wanted
a quarters worth of carbolic acid
to disinfect the cellar. After pro-
curing the acid he made other small
purchases about town and was last

afternoon. AS he did not return
home at night his family instituted
a search, his father finally locating
him about noon Saturday, lying in
a small wood tract near the rail.

The empty bottle, with the cork
replaced, was lying nearby and the
marks of the fluid on his mouth and
chin plainly showed the cause of
death and when Coroner Ricketts,
Nelson arrived in the evening he
deemed an inquest unnecessary.
The remains were inferred at West

father holds the position as sexton.
