CASE.

house of i'll fame is not home.
At least this is the opinion OF Judge
Pollock OF the district court In an
opinion just handed down in the case
of Henry Gray, alias Henry Massey,
versus Harry Ray, allas Fl. A. Rae
alias Harry Rea and alias Harry Rae
The question of house erected for
and used as house OF prostitution
being home is one of the most novel
ever presented to the legal talent Of
the city. The case was watched with
a great degree of interest because Of
the point being a most unique one in
law.
The case had to do with the set.
Ting of the estate OF the late Melvina.
Massey and was a contest between her
husband William Ray and her son
Henry Gray, for the possession of the
house at Third street and Second
avenue north known as the Crystal
palace.
A few years ago Ray secured a
quit claim deed for a small house
owned by Mrs. Massey at the rear Of
the Crystal palace. Later she startad
action to have the deed set aside
claiming fraud. The district court
held the deed valid and the case was
appealed to the supreme court which
reversed the lower court.
The case was then brought back 20

the district court for trial and the
matter was dropped. he giving her
life lease on the small house.
In October, 1907, Mrs. Massey gave
her son. Henry Gray, or Henry Mas
sey, deed for the large house known
as the Crystal palace. In her viii she
left her husband the small house and
her SON the larger one.
After Rays colored wife was dead
he filed a homestead declaration
against the big house. He claimed
that as her husband he had lived
there and had made his home there
and had a right to the possession OF
the house as his domscile.
In answer to this Gray said that
they had never been married. His
attorneys contented that even IL they
had been married he could not claim
the house on homestead rights as ii
was built and used for house OF mi
fame and was not a home.
The son, Gray. retained Taylor
Crum as his attorney in the matter.
The court sustained the allegations OF
the son and also stated that they
had never legally been married.
A good deal OF local interest was at
tached to the case. The Massey wo-
man was colored and Ray was a eau
sassian, and an exceptionally fine
looking man.
