RULING ON BURIAL
ENDS MARITAL MIX
Troy Man to Take Body of His
Wife, Married to Another,
to Family Plot.

Supreme Court Justice MacCrate set
tied an unusual tangle yesterday when
he authorized Thomas j. Leahy of Troy
to take the body OF his wife. Mrs. Mary
Scott Leahy. from Brooklyn TO Troy for
burial In the family plot where the body
OF their baby girl has lain for many
years During the hearing it developed
that the woman, as Mary Scott, was
married in Jersey City in 1902 to Martin
Wolf. fruit merchant of 397 State
street. Brooklyn.
Leahy told Justice MacCrate that he
married Mary Scott In Troy on June /.
1879, and lived with her for twenty
three years in Troy. He said also that
his wife left home in 1902 without his
consent and never returned, although in
1917 she visited him several days in
succession with woman friend. On
each occasion. said Leahy. she stated
that she was still hfs wife. Wolf said at
his home last night that he became ac-
quainted with the woman twenty-seven
years ago, when he ran a fruit stand
in the old Albany railroad terminal.
He knew nothing Of Leahy, he said,
and has never seen the man. The
woman he knew and married as Mary
Scott. he said. had never told him OF a
previous marriage, ana ths first intina-
ton he had OF the trouble was when the
casket he had ordered for his wife's
body came to his house with the name
of Mary Scott Leahy engraved upon il.
Wolf paid tribute to the woman he had
known as his wife and said that he
would not stand in the way of her
burial with the body OF her child in
Troy. He would not. he said. attend the
funeral.
Leahy contended that he was entitled
to the body of the woman, who died last
Friday in the Brooklyn State Hospital.
as his marriage to her was still valid
and had never been dissolved by divorce
or other proceeding. Attached to his
papers was an affidavit of George A.
Scott of Troy. brother of Mrs. Leahy.
who said he saw his sister three years
ago and that at tins she said her mar
riage to Leahy was still in effect.
Let us throw the mantle of charity
over the dead" remarked Justice Mac
Crate. This woman. if he wish could
be known. would probably want to be
buried besids her baby. am going to
make that disposition of the body be-
cause do not like the thought that this
woman's name should be craven in
marble as Mary Wolf while her baby Is
buried as Leahy."

To counteract the aggressions
of the French settlements In
Louisiana, the Spanish estab-
lished many missions throughout
Texas, the most important be-
ing at San Antonio. When the
United States negotiated the
Louisiana Purchase from France
they considered tliat Texas was
part of this territory. Over
this question war was nearly
precipitated but finally the Uni
ted States withdrew their claims
in exchange for Spain's with

region.
Many Americans began to set

eral Sam Houston and Stephen
f. Austin. Mexico became
alarmed at this rapid increase
of American pioneers which
threatened to crowd out the Mex
lean population. Oppressive
measures were adopted and
caused the Americans to rise
In rebellion in 1886. During this
uprising occurred the gallant de-
fense of the Alamo by handful
of Americans and their slaughter
by the vastly superior numbers
of the MeXicans. Remember the
Alamo" became the Texans slO-
gan. General Houston decisive
ly defeated the Mexican forces
at the battle of San Jacinto and
the Republic of Texas was
launched with Houston as presi-
dent. The flag contained one
star, and from this has come the
name the Lone Star State After
considerable opposition from the
North, Texas was annexed to
the Union and became the twen-
ty-eighth state.

Pennsylvania has assumed

was probably derived originally
because her name was carved

it was applied on account of the
