INDIANA LAW HOLDS. Says Judge Merryman in Huntington Suit of Girl Seeking Estate. Judge J. T. Merryman of the Ad-" ams circuit court rendered a decision in the Huntington circuit court Thursday in the case of Raymond King and Beulah King versus Marvin O. Giblpr, which is thought to be the first of its kind ever handed down in the United States. Judge Merryman decided for the defendant. The plaintiffs brought suit to obtain the payment of $1,600 from the defendant alleged to be due them under the terms of the will of the late Thomas Bollinger of Huntington county. The provisions of the will were that when the youngest of the plaintiffs, Miss King,, nineteen, became of age the sum of $1,600 should be paid the Kings. Beulah King is now residing in lowa and as an a girl is of age in lowa when eighteen years old, the plaintiffs brought suit. Judge Merryman held th-t the laws of this state still hold good regardless of the fact that Miss King is now living in lowa. In Indiana no person is of age until reaching tb<- age of twenty-one years. The import of Judge Merryman's ruling was that the law of Indiana is In a will or contract drawn up in this state just as though it were written in the contract of will. o WILL DIE TONIGHT.
