In the case OF Hilton VS. Snyder the
decision is based upon purely technical
grounds. In this case. Mr. Snyder de-
MED that Mrs. Hilton was the widow. or
ever had been the wife of DR.. John
r.. Park. Notwithstanding this denial,
counsel for Mrs. Hilton at the trial Of
the case produced no evidence OF the
marriage except the decisions of the
supreme court In Hilton VS.. Roylance and
Hilton VS.. Stewart Ine trial court held
that these decisions or Judgments could
not be used as evidence against Mr.
Snyder who was neither interested In
nor party to. the foregoing actions or
either OF them. The trial court accord
ingly held that Mrs. Hilton could not re-
cover as against Mr.. Snyder. because she
had not established the fact that she
ever was married to Or. Park. 1t was
this holding that was assailed by Mrs
Hilton In her appeal to the supreme
court, and that court now holds that
