Our censorship was used for hiding
unpleasant news from the public.
One OF the faults OF democracy IS
that the leaders are usually afraid

SUPREME COURT SAYS WHEN
A MAN is DEAD, HE'S DEAD

LOS ANGELES, Sept 21-Judge Fred H. Taft Of
the Superior Court here has ruled that when the Supreme
Court of California says man is dead he is dead and his
own affidavit to the contrary not admissible to dprove
his DEATH
The ruling, said by lawyers to be unique was made
here in connection with the settlement to the estate Of
Thomas Wilcox who died few months ago. According
to the evidence the widow. was thrice married Her
first husband was Albert Broberg whom she wed in 1897
and who disappeared soon thereafter Later she mar
ried Dr. Lehman who subsequently brought an annu-
ment action claiming he had learned BrOberg was alive
While the case was in the Supreme Court appeal Dr.
Lehman died. Later, the widow married Mr., Wilcox
The Supreme Court held the fact that Broberg was
alive had not been established That ruling validated the
subsequent marriages.
After the death of Mr.. Wilcox, his son by a former
marriage was made administrator and set about estab
fishing the rights of the heirs He procured affidavit
from Broberg now in Canada, that he is not dead.
When the final account was presented the affidavit
was offered to the court Then the ruling that the
Supreme Court decision controlled the court that Bro
berg was legally dead and that his affidavit to the
uary could not be received in evidence.
