Torrens Law in New York state.

II is now Il matter OF common
knowledge thar what is popularity
known as the "Torrcns system OF
land title registration" takes its name
from Sir Robert Richard Torrcu&.
who iuveulcd or devised This system

applied to crown lands and then to
privtc properties SO successful WAS

adopted in many European countries.
in Canada, and in several OF our own
states. including Massachusetts. lni-
nois. Minnesota,~ California and Col
orado.
In New York state the agitation for
this great reform in the method of
land transfers was instituted some 10
years ago soon after it's adoption in
Massachusetts. The OPPOSITION of the
old title Insurance companies. how
ever was sufficiently strong to pre-
vent any action by the legislature UNI
Til the advent OF Gov Hughes and at
his suggestion accommodation OF eN-
perts was appointed TO thoroughly
eNamin" the system and report TO the
legislature Nftcr months OF careful
investigation this commission report
ed the system employed by the old I'M
suranCa companies as "antiuuatcd
cumbersome ana expensive" and rec
commended the ToTens system as Sim
pie, comprehensive and practical. and
the only satisfactory solution OF the
problem.
Thereupon, the legislature, i'm 1905
enacted the Torrens Land title regis
tration law" which, however, con-
tanned several features which were
found to be impractical i'm operation.
so that it was necessary to appeal
again to the legislature, and an amend
atory act (chapter G27 laws of 1870
was passed, an dsignod by Gov.
hughes just before his resignation
to accept a position ON the bench OF
the United States supreme court By
its terms it did not go into effect an
til the first day OF September last;
so that the amended Torrens law has
been in actual operation less than four
months. During that time number

with the finding of the three bodies.

The body of Eugene Marshall, SEN

of his wife. whom he had beheaded
was found hanging to a bridge over
Eminence pike only short distance
from the Jail.
linn West, who had been employed
as chauffeur here for several
months, was one of the victims. He
was charged with an assault on a
white woman, the daughter of "a Shell

ed to the bridge.
Shot While Fleeing.
Wade Patterson, the third negro
lynched, was also charged with as
saulting white woman. Patterson
attempted to escape from the mob
and was shot and his body thrown
into a creek.
The mob which attacked the Jail
went about it's work quietly, and few
persons knew of the triple lynching
until the bodies were found several
hours later.
Few of the mob were masked. The
jail lock was smashed with Sledge
