CROKER CHILDREN
LOSE B|GLAN|D SUIT
Jurist Rules Ex- Tammany
Chief Was Not a Legal Resi-
dent of This Country.
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, September IA.
Richard Croker. the late Tamnany
Hall chieftain, never established legal
residence in this country and therefore
his children by his first marriage have
no claim to certain valuable Palm Beach
property now owned by Bula Croker,
who was his second wife, Federal Judge
HalSted Ritter of Miami has ruled, at
torneys for the widow announced today.
Judge Ritter made his decision in
suit brought by Howard Croker, son OF
the late Tanmany chieftair by his first
marriage, against Bula Croker, j. B. Nc
Donald, her agent, and the Palm Beach
Estates, a real estate firm. The suit
was one of several in which the chill
dren of the late Richard Croker sought
to attack transfers of property made by
Bula Croker in connection with property
owned by her husband at Palm Beach,.
Homestead in Question.
Judge Ritter sustained the contention
of the defendants that Richard Croker
never established homestead in Flor
ida because his permanent home or
domicile, which he established in Glen
Cairn, ireland, in 1904, never was aban-
doned. The children of the late Tam
many Hall chieftain by his first mar
riage sought to establish that certain
ocean front property in Palm Beach
County was the homestead Of their IA
tiier at the time of his death and that
it should descend to them as his heirs,
subject to the dover right of his widow.
Bula Croker. The property consists OF
land on which is located the Croker
dwelling known as the Wigwam, to-
pether with more than mile OF ada
cent unoccupied property.
The Croker children further alleged
that the property in question was the
homestead of their father and that two
deeds and contract of July IL, 1920,
executed between Richard Croker and
Bula Croker and the defendant. Nc
Donald, were ineffective to pass title TO
a portion of the property to the exclu-
sion of the compliments as Richard
Croker's heirs.
The validity of these two deeds and
the contract recently was upheld in
decision by the Circuit Court Of Palm
Beach County in a suit to cancel the
instruments brought by Mrs. Bula Gro.
ker, the widow against Mcdonald and
the Palm Beach Estates.
