MAKE FIGHT FOR
HISTORIC HOME

r. A. Saunders, capitalist and mer-
chant prince. on Monday lost an i'm
portant point in his light to retain pos
session OF his beautiful and histor, C
country home, "Weyanoke," on the
James River In Charles City county.
wheN the Supreme Court Of Virginia
granted a writ of error to his legal
opponents. the heirs of Robert Avis,
deceased. who appealed from decree
pronounced against them in the Chan
Gerry Court OF Richmond
"Weyanoke," which was purchased
from Robert Douthat in 1877, Is one of
the most famous estates In Virginia. 1t
contains 1910 acres in the center of
which stands magnificent residence.
The farm Is just below "westover." the
old Byrd homestead
On the day that Robert Avis bought
the farm he conveyed 1t to John Lamb.
trustee. the secure. $4,000, part of the
purchase money. The deed provided
that II a-sale was made to pay the
purchase money. the farm should be
advertised for thirty days prior to the
sale. In 1885, suit was instituted
against Avis to force him TO pay Ger
tain debts
The suit caused a long legal battle
and it was not until 1895 that the
court entered a decree ordering the
sale OF the farm after ten days ad-
vertieement to enforce the payment
of the debts OF Avis Lamb was
directed to sell the farm.
In 1894 Robert Alvis died and his
widow was made executrix. but his
other heirs were not made party to
the suit. and 1t is on this technicality
that they are fighting for possession
of the farm. claiming that Saunders
has not q title to the land. In 1911
the heirs entered suit in the Chan
Gerry Court OF Richmond. praying that
Saunde1s be required to surrender the
farm to them. but Saunders demurred.
The court sustained his demurrer
and dismissed the bill.
After reviewing the case the SUI
preme Court has decided to review
the testimony. The case Is styled
Patsy Pitcher ct ais. versus E. A.
Saunders and John Lamb, trustee.
An interesting feature IL the fact
that the heirs did not learn of their
alleged rights in the premises uneil
1911. when Robert 8. Avis, In a
conversation with Attorney Royal.
disclosed the fact that the heirs were
not party to the suit.
