ing over of the certificates or delivery
of them to L. H. Smith, commended that
under all the evidence in the case, and
especially under the written documents,
| that there was no intention to vest the
| title of the stock in L. II. Smith, and that
this theory was supported by the LETT
ter of L. H. Smith to the National
Grocer Company, stating that P. E
Smith owned the stock during his life
time, and that it was unreasonable to
suppose that P. E. Smith would have
utterly Invested himself of all his
property during his lifetime, especially
While still in good health, and given it
TO his son, but that the real purpose
was to divide it after death.
Judge Bradshaw's Ruling.
Judge Bradshaw, in his opinion, said:
L. H. Smith claims right of posses
owner by gift from Peter E. Smith.
his father.
The court is well satisfied from the
evidence that Peter E. Smith wished
and intended that all OF the property
in controversy. except $1,000 in value.
should go TO his son, Lewis. the plain
tiff; in other words that the son Lewis
should have OF the stock in contro-
versy the value of $4,000. and the
two grandchildren should have $1,000
each.
Intended Division at Death.
In the opinion of the court it seems
satisfactorily clear from the evidence
that Peter E. Smith contemplated that
this division should take place at and
after his death. The writings, exhibits
\ and B, addressed to his grandchil-
dren, do evidence gift TO Lewis al
ready made and delivered The writ
ing exhibit c. in which the deceased
promises at his death TO pay 10 the
plaintiff the identical property in dis |
pute, is not only inconsistent with the |
claim that this property had already |
passed from Peter E. Smith TO the |
plaintiff by gift, but strongly negatives |!
that fact and negatives the idea that
either Peter E. Smith or the plaintiff |
could have SO understood that the |
property had already passed TO the
plaintiff by gift at q previous time.
Hold For the Estate.
1t will not be contended that the
plaintiff can recover in this action by
eason OF anything conta med in ex-
libit c. the promise to pay. That paper
onfesses no title nor right to posses
ion.
The court finds that the property in
nor any part of it, passed
" gift TO the plaintiff, and he is not
nti1led 10 the possession thereof. The
administrator is entitled TO the posses
ion thereof as the property of the es-
ate Of P. z. Smith Wherefore the
curt gives judgment for the defendant
Or the return of the property seized

senting the bulk of the estate of Peter

the plaintiff in the case brought

In December P. Z. Smith was taken

turned over 10 him prior to the last

National Grocer Company TO have new

grandchildren and the rest TO himself.
In the meantime the grandchildren
had petitioned that an administrator of
the estate be appointed, and F. L.

Grocer Company, on Mr.. Meeker's de-
mand, sent the stock and one check for
dividends $50, 20 him as administra-
tor L. H Smith began action in re-
plevin for the stock against F. L.

Question Of Fathers Intentions.
The case was carefully tried and oc-
cupied day in argument by the at
torneys for Mr.. Smith and Mr.. Meeker
Judge Bradshaw remarked during The
argument that it was very unfortunate
that men should attempt to dispose of
valuable estates or property in such
manner that it caused litigation; that
il an attorney had been consulted at
small expense a will could have been
drafted or papers prepared which
would have left no doubt as to the in
tention Of P. E. Smith in regard to the
disposition Of this property: and that
he would carry out the intention Of
p. e. Smith If the law would permit it.
