Suit Which is Outgrowth of Three
Previous Actions is Coming to
Close in District
Court.
DEED Is ATTACKED
First Attempt to Have instrument De-
cIared Fraudulent Fails in Trial
Early in
1915.

Testimony was closed this afternoon
in the district court in the case OF
Mary O'Neill and Margaret McCor'
mick against Pauline ONeill ct al, and
the Ncase was argued before Judge
John e. Craig.
|. This suit IS the outgrowth OF sew
eral previous ones, and was commenc-
ed on December 3, 1919. Statements
were made in petition that the deed
under discussion was without con
sideration and was for the purpose of
conserving the property of John
O'Neill who was alleged to have been
q victim of the liquor habit, and that
the deed was court deed made Tor the
benefit of John O'Neill and his wife
Catherine during their lifetime, and
for the children, Mary O'Neill and
Margaret O'Neill Mccormick after
their death.
This was the deed which plaintiff
stated was a trust deed given to
Eugene O'Neill now deceased and
which is now in possession of deceas-
eds, wife Pauline O'Neill, and for
which plaintiffs ask court TO declare to
be only a trust deed, in benefit or
plaintiffs.
Witnesses for the plaintiffs in this
case were: Charles ONeill, Mary
O'NeilI, Sam ireland, Edward ONelll,
Margaret Mccormick, Asaph Buck,
the Rev. Father James Gillespie, An
ma M. Dolan. Witnesses for the de-
PENDANT were Pauline O'Neill and
James s. Burrows, the latter having
made the original deed.
Three Suits Brought.
The grantors of the deed, John and
Catherine .O'Neill, who made the
deed to their son, Eugene, in 1908,
now deceased, have since died. In
January, 1915, while all Of the parties
were yet living, John O'Neill brought
suit claiming that the deed was
fraudulent and for the purpose of de-
ception and was without considera.
ton, which case was decided adverse
ly to the plaintiff.
John O'Neill brought another suit
against his son, Eugene, in 1915, in
which he claimed that defendant was
to pay him $4,000 within five years,
alleging defendant had not paid the
sum. Plaintiff asked judgment for
the 81 900 and interest. This suit
never came to trial and was omitted
from the docket in 1918.
A third suit was brought by John
O'Neill against Pauline O'Neill in
1918 seeking to set aside: this deed
given in 1908 and to have it declared
a trust deed This suit was partially
tried and then dismissed without
The case now being argued in the
court is the outgrowth of these for
mer suits.
