Treasurer of Iowa claimed that the
transfer was subject to pay a colat-

that the gift was intended to take
place after the death of the donor,

Court to collect the same, which
was reslated. The State was repre-
sented by the County Attorney, the
Attorney General of Iowa, and q
specialist counsel. The heirs were
defended by Senstor Andrews of our
town. This is the second case in
which the Senator has defeated Mr..
