HUSBANDS FAMILY
GETS ESTATE LEFT
HIM BY HIS WIFE

Judge Fox decided today that when
a woman dies and leaves money to
her husband that money shall go to
relatives of the husband in case he
dies intestate and shall not revert to
distant relatives of the woman.
The particular case which brought
about the decision was the settlement
of the estate of Charles A Morrow
The $1,000 which his wife had received
from the estate of her grandfather
and which had gone to Mr. Morrow
upon her death was given to the hus-
bands four brothers, William Morrow,
Richmond Frank Morrow, Cambridge
City; George and John Morrow, Ander-
son. An uncle and aunt of the wife
contested the settlement contending
that the money should revert to

Hughes will make speeches in Indiana,
