Show II CASE SPOILED 1 1 Supreme Coprt Gives Finds for the Appellee in I the Case of English I In vs. Openshaw. j I BUira English Fails in Hor Attempt I 'I I to Gain Title to Residence Property, i I A decision quieting title to the home- J i itead 'of Andrew English was yester- jij f day handed down by Justice Bartch of ;1 J the Supreme court. Eliza English, his J daughter, brought suit in the District court against her brother-in-law, Jo- ' Mph Openshaw, for the property. In ' this case the decision of the lower i court went against her, but she ap- pealed the case, losing again. Opcn- ! ohnw and his two brothers-in-law, (j ons of the late Mr. and Mrs. English, if ii , bought together In 1881, each paying f J one-third, a home for the old Mr. and I'l Mrs. English, wherein they could pass ' the rest of their days. At their death ' J the property was quit-claimed to the j j daughter, and consequently, a short i i time after, shebrought suit against j Openshaw, her father's son-in-law, for ' the property. In replying, Openshaw !l I asserted that he owned one-third of the I t property and had never given It to An- t drew English, but had simply allowed j him to use It during his life. A letter U written him by Eliza English. In which H ahe acknowledged that he owned a share of the home, was th,en brought ' I In as evidence. IB The plalntUT brought suit for the r II property on the ground that the statute I f of limitations had run against Open- l.j1 haw, but the lower court held this to 1 be no valid argument, Inasmucli as her I y, i letter to Openshaw had been written I ; less than four years ago and Openshaw I I J ; had, since the death of English, spent I !j ? considerable money making repairs on I j ' the house. Both of the English broth- I l1 ora have refrained from taking part In I ' ( the court proceedings. I 'I I ;j Monday in tho Courts.
