Mrs. Stillwell Wins the Suit.
In the case of Levi L Stillwell, plain
tiff. vs. Sarah J. Stillwell, defendant,
taken under advisement by Judge G. H.
Burnett at the last term of the circuit
court, a decision has been given in favor
of Mrs. Stillwell. The plaintiff sought to
obtain possession from the plaintiff, his
former wife, what is known as the Keyes
place, composed of several acres of land
in this city. The judge, in considering
the testimony of plaintiff and defendant,
the one denying and the other affirming
that it was their intention that the pro.
perty purchased with $480 should be the
propertv of the defendant in fee simple,
the presumption attaching to such a
transaction bet ween husband and wife to
the effect that the property so purchased
in the name of the w ife is to be deemed
an advancement to the wife is sufficient
to create a preponderance of evidence in
favor of the defendant, so the court de
cided that the purchase of the Keyes
place was at that time intended by the
plaintiff to be and was an advancement
bv the plaintiff to his thtn wife, nor was
there a trust of any kind insuring to the
benefit of the plaintiff that arose out of
any of the transactions, so the court de
creed that plaintiff was not entitled to
any relief. The order of the court was
that defendant was entitled to have the
suit dismissed and neither party should
recover costs and disbursements from the
other.
