German Heirs
: .-
The state supreme fcourt, In- an
opinion here Tuesday, held that
the ' estate of Fritz Braun, who
died in Salem, four years ago
"without leaving a will, must go
to his two brothers and two sis
ters in Germany.. The opinion re
versed Circuit Judge George. Taz-
welE of Multnomah county, ,
Judge . Tazwell ruled that the
estate; should go to the state's
irreducible school fund, . but Jus
tice J O.. Bailey, . who wrote . the
supreme court opinion, held there
was no evidence to show that the
heirs were not genuine.
.- Salt to obtain the estate from '
the alleged heirs was filed by
the: state land board. Defend
ants were represented by Rob
ert G. Closterman, former Ger
man consul in Portland.
Court officials declared it was
doubtful that the heirs could re
ceive the funds during the war
for the reason that all German
funds in the United States nave
been frozen.
The court affirmed the ' convic

ty, who is under four years pen!
