Pierre
State Will Get Mcclellan Cash.
The announcement that George T.
Blackman had filed his final report as
administrator Of the John Mcclellan
estate and asked for an order 10 turn
the estate over to w. l.. Baker. as
receiver, has even more s~iflnigcance
than at first appears. 1t means that
the battle of Is years for the posses
sion of the estate of the late John Nc
Clellan, now amounting to about $780,
600 is practically over and the money
will soon be turned into the state
treasury. And thus will end probably
the most prominent ease ever before
the courts OF South Dakota.
This case has become one Of the
landmarks in South Dakota courts.
The litigation started the date of the
death of John Mcclellan, which oc.
CURED Is years ago, the I'd day Of
August. 1t was first tried in county
court before Judge Wilkes, and re-
suited in a finding by him in favor OF
the ireland claimants. It was next
tried in the circuit court before Judge
Jones and a jury, and resulted in a
decision in favor of the Canadian
claimants 1t was next tried before
Judge A. w. Campbell of Aberdeen,
who held that none of the three fami-
lies Of claimants then ~contending for
the estate was related to John Nc.
Clellan. 1t then went to the supreme
court, and Judge Campbell's decision
was at first affirmed, but on a rehear.
ing a new trial was granted to the
Canadian claimants. This was in
1906 It was next tried in 1908 before
Judge Whiting, then circuit judge in
the Huron circuit, but now one of the
supreme court judges, who held that
the Canadian claimants were not re-
lated to John Mcclellan, and that the
property had escheated. 1t went again
to the supreme court and was by II
sent back again for a new trial in the
circuit court of M%innehaha county.
where il came on for trial again.
While the litigation was going on
in the state court, the case also found
its way into the United States courts,
and vas up for hearing in various
phases. several times before Judge
Garland as United States district
Judge. also Judge Willard, and later
before Judge Elliott. and was also
twice before the United States circuit
court of appeals, and was once before
the United States supreme court.
