100 BOWS DON'T
MAKE MARRIAGE

Manila Cablenews-American: The
supreme court has handed down de-
cision in the famous c9se of Son Cui
versus Ahastasia Guepanco and 9TH
ers, in which the hereditary and con
jugal rights of the plaintiffs and the
defendants to the property of a
wealthy Chinaman, Tan Tungco, are
involved. The estate in question is
said to be valued at about 100000.
The supreme court sustains the
lower court and finds for the defend
ants as the lawful heirs
Tang Tungco was born in China in
1853 and in 1868, according to Son
Cui, was married to her and had by
| her six sons. He died in Annoy, April
1892, leaving will executed the year
/ before in Manila.
| Upon his death his Filipino wife,
Anastasia Guepangco took over his
property for administration on the
plea that being the legal wife she was
entitled, together with her children
by the Chinaman, to the estate.
The plaintiffs maintained that as
Tang Tungco was Chinaman his
property ought to be administered ac-
cording to the laws of China. Ac.
cording to that law the mother and
all the legitimate children inherit on
the death of the father, and that the
mistresses and Legitimate children
take nothing.
The defendants on the other hand
held that Tang Tungco had lived in
the Philippines from the time he was
eleven years of age until he reached
the age of forty-three and that he was
single at the time he married his Fill
Pine wife.
The lower court found that the al
legged marriage in China was not sat
isfactorily proven for the lack of docu
mentary evidence. To this the plain
tiffs took exception.
The only marriage contract that wa;
presented in evidence was the follow
ing, which in itself is remarkably in
,teresting:

This document was rejected by tn
trial court because the letter to whic

cause such documents are not real
