Highest Court Asked to De
eide Alleged Orphans S
Right to Million.

The Supreme Court of the United
States has been asked to determine
whether Charles Francis Dorrance
is a millionaire or a nameless or
phan: the legitimate heir TO a one
fourth share in the S4,0oO,000 estate
of Charles Dorrance, ST., coal land
owner of Wilkes-Barre. Pa, or
merely a founding taken from St.
Louis orphange to enable his al
legged mother to retain an INTEREST
in the legacy.
The Circuit Court of Appeals In
Missouri held him to be the lawful
son of John and Emma Dorrance.
after the District Court had decided
he was a founding. Counsel for
other heirs to the estate are asking
the Supreme Court to review the
facts at issue.
Charles Dorrance, sr.. was a
wealthy man In Luzerne County. Pa.
His property consisted chiefly OF
coal lands. The will devised the
Pennsylvania estate in trust for the
testator's five children in specified
shares, during their lives. with the
remainder to go to their children.
1t stipulated that If any child of his
should die without children the
share of that child was to go to
other surviving children and their
issue.
The petitioners assert that Charles
Francis Dorrance was taken from a
st. Louis orphanage by the elder
Dorfancesand passed off as his own
son. They claim. in their petition
that testimony in the Missouri court
showed that Mrs. Dorrance was in
capable of child birth at the time
it is alleged, the child was born.
The elder Dorrance, the petition
states. became estranged~ from his
wife late in life and revealed to
friends the true origin OF the child

has gathered up mill, and develop

started hammcring out the values.
The plant is handling about so tons

grade ore is being sorted to ship.
They are putting about ten tons OF
mill ore into one OF concentrates
and the heads are running about $l7.

loading out for shipment this week,

shipping ore averaging right at SIS

He is sending his product to the

siderable lead values, and Humboldt
