Kerr-Smiley Case
Settled Supreme
Court Gives Verdict

The decision Of the circuit court of
Monroe county in favor of Mrs. John
E. Kerr, formerly Miss Mary Has
senjager, to the estate left by the
late VIM. H. Smiley, of South Fork
twnship, was sustained by the Su-
peme Court Of Missouri last week.
The plaintiff was an adopted daugh-
ter. The legality Of her adoption was
contested by J. R. Smiley Of South
Fork and Mrs. Bridgford, of Mexico,
on the ground hat the adoption pa
pers were filed for record in Audrain
county instead of in Monroe. Mrs.
Kerr sought to overcome this point
by testimony of parties who had
heard her foster parents refer to her
as their adopted child and heir, and
on this issue her claim to the estate
was sustained. The estate was worth
about $50,O00.-Paris Appeal.
