No case for years has attracted as much attention among the legal fra ternity,' owing to their , knowledge of the dUUcu'lty In securing the evidence, The entire case hung on the legitima cy of the birth of John Morrison, which occurred In Alva, Scotland, January 13, 1833. He came to Amer ica as a sailor on the sail boat Mary Morrison in 1851 and was next traced to California as a miner In 1855. He came to Union county in 186 S and died January 31, 1905. The ' Jury found . that Catherine France was the mother of John Mor rlson. She was, born In Alva, Scot land In 1808, and married In Glasgow, In 1838, died in New Zealand May, 1879. - "... ; The evidence shows that James Morrison, the father, was born at Al va, Scotland, In 1807, and was mar rled to Janette Mars, all in 1837 moved to Ohio In 1840, and died In 1890. We cite the above to show how tedl ous It was to secure record evidence, and when it was discovered, to get the uiwcitua in me various countries to at tach such certificates that would en title it to admission in our courts. All of this required months' of time and weeks of research, not only of our laws, but the laws of other countries where the evidence was secured. Attorneys Oliver and Finn repre sented the defendants, and Cochran & Cochran and District Attorney Ivan hoe, the state. Thus the first step in one of the most peculiar cases In the annals of legal history in this county Is ended.
