|DORRANCE LITIGATION
100000 Claim in Estate Con
tested In Federal Court.
Claimant Alleged Wait.


son of John Dorrance, deceased,
who owned the life estate in the
fine 1000 acre farm four miles
west of town and whose child or
children by his last wife Emma
now his widow, would inherit
from the estate of the grand
father, is sueing the executors
of his grandfathers estate for
5000, 900, the amount he will be
entitled to if he proves himself
the son of John and Emma
Dorrance. The case has been
in progress for a week or more
before the United States District
court in st. Louis, and the re-
suit is not yet known. Mrs.
Emma Dorrance claims that
Charles F. "a years old is her
son and his father John Dor.
rance. The testimony offered
by the uncles and others inter.
est in the estate is direct to the
effect that John Dorrance and
his wife Emma secured the
child in 1891 when he was but 9
month old, from St. AIMS
Founding Asylum in St. Louis,
to rear him. and that the records
of the asylum show that fact.
Sister Angela, one of the
nurses at the asylum, whose
name in the world was Anne
Rainey, testified that:
MRS. Dorrance told me thai
she was childless and nevel
would have a child therefore she
and her husband were taking
the baby so it would inherit
property they had. They want
ed their adoption of the infant
kept secret, and Mrs. Dorrance
remained at the institution two
weeks that she might accuston
herself to the care of the infant
She occupied room No. 20 OF
st. Charles Hall, the sister said
She told Sister Angela she
was directed to the asylum by &
priest at Hot Springs, Ark. Hel
husband came there to visit hel
and wanted to take her away
from the hospital but she woulC
not go until she became used t
caring for the baby. The in.
fant was bottle fed, and Mrs
Dorrance said she would hide
the bottle in the folds of hel
dress to further convince people
that the child was hers"
Sister Angela said Mrs. Dor.
rance returned to the asylum
eleven years later, and asked
the Mother Superior, Sister Anr
Frances, if the records couldn't
be changed so that it would ap'
pear the baby boy was born tt
her there. The Mother Super
ior refused.
Sister Angela then identified
the records showing when thu
Dorrances took the infant. Sh,
identified a picture of Dorranct
shown her. and identified Mrs
Dorrance, who sat in the cour-
room.
She also told how a baby wa:
born at St. AIMS during Mrs.
Dorrance's stay there, and this
infant was more attractive than
the baby Mrs. Dorrance haG
taken, which was not a very
good looking baby. The sisters
suggested that Mrs. Dorranct
exchange infants, but she woulC
not do so, saying she already haG
become attached TO the baby boy
from the City Hospital.

A we'll known Liverpool solicitor was questioning a police officer recent ly as 70 the condition of horse. Do you really mean to say,' pressed the advocate + his best cross-examining style, that the animal had shore so1ders-I mean to say sore soldiers -I mean" Still there was some thing wropg, and the solicitor paused a moment to regain his oratorical bal. ance, while the witness wondered du. biously whether it was conundrum or trap. Steadying himself for a third attempt, and delibe1ating over every syllable. the advocate asked whether the horse really had sore shoulders, and then expanded into a smile of triumph. When the familiar tongue-twister about Peter and his peppercorn becomes stale, suggests the Lii, erpool Post, here is another one: Say sore shoulders dozen simes rapidly without mist Ake,s
