Notwithstanding that tha late Senator
John H. Mitchell has passed beyond the
jurisdiction. of sarthly courts.' there is
little doubt that Bis estate win no corn

formed a part of the sentence Imposed
upon him In. th land fraud prosecution.
By a specie of post mortem Justice, the
government Insists that ths fine shall
be paid, aad bas made formal demand
upon th administrator 01 tn esiaie,
David M. Dunne. . ' '
Th publication ef the fact In Th
Journal of yesterday has excited con
siderable - discussion ' among attornsys
as to the lsgal questlona involved, but
they are generally agreed that ths fin
must be paid. Section S4f of the re
vleed statutes of th United States Is In
part as follows: ' -' i .
. rWhsnevsr any person Indebted to th
United BUtas 1 Insolvent or whenever
th estate 'of any deceased debtor. In th
hands of th executor or administrators,
la insufficient to pay all th debts- due
from the deceased, the debu due ttf til
United Stales shall be flrat satisfied."
' The only question that can aria I
whether br not the fine Impoeed upon
Senator Mitchell 1 a debt within the
meaning of this statute. If so, It .will
tak precedence over aQ other 'claims
against , the estate. Thomas O. Greene,
who Is attorney for th administrator
of Senator Mitchell's sstste, is Investi
gating this Question. , As yst he de
cline to .- express snf opinion ' In' th
matter -further than to say that ' no
precis precedent, for the present case
ha been found In any of ths federal de
cisions. ; , X77"';5 T'
- According, to. the report of th, sp
praisers, the valua of "Senator Mitchell's
estaU Is f 1,717. (4. As some of th
assets have realised a trifle more than
their (appraised - valuation, the , estate
may. yield a total of about $4,009.. The
debt . of tb estate , aggregate , about
tlO,04. If the government's claim fs
to be satisfied la advance ef all other.
It will leave about 11.000 with which to
pay th expanse of administration and
all remaining creditors. . .. . , . . - . .
- Whstber or not the fin Is paid out of

Th only persons affected ar th cred

Mr. Green Is carefully examining the
law . to determine the . validity f th

It has been suggeetad that Inasmuch
as Senator -Mltc bell's death canceled

months imprisonment, th remainder of
th sentence should. rail also, - in-ether
