her sanity before a jury.
Miss Sutton died August 20, 1928,
and, according to counsel for the
nephews, plaintiffs, had lived alone
with her three cats after her sis
tiers had died. The cats ate at the
table with their mistress and were
addressed conversationally by her,
the court was told. Miss Sutton
always kissed each Of the animals
good night and she treated the
pets In every way as IL they were
human beings.
She was convinced that the souls
Of her sisters reposed in the bodies
of the cats and, according to coun-
sci, she believed marriage to be
an immoral institution and had
other eccentricities. she allegedly
abhorred religion, but left large
part of her fortune to churches.
The Supreme Courts decree re-
versed a lower court decision deny
ing the plaintiffs the right Of
jury trial on the sanity issue.

runs from rs to SO students, and

amount is somewhat lower than
that allowed universities In many
