ARMSTRONG ESTATE .
WINS SUIT FROM STATE
Case Attracted , Unusual At
tention In Civil Court
Jury Decides In Favor
Defendant Appeal
Taken.
Of
Is
A suit in civil court here this week
that has attracted much attention was
that of the State vs. Dorcas L. Arm
strong aud others, executors of the estate
of the late C. B. Armstrong, for the col
lection of 2,7UO taxes on a gift of
$100,000 is cotton mill stock to Mrs.
Armstrong by Col. C. B. Armstrong some
time before his death. The jury returned
a verdict in favor of the Armstrong
estate.
The point at issue was whether or not
the transfer was made in anticipation of
death, or was purely a gift. It was on
this point that the revenue department
of the state, represented by Attorney
General Manuiug, made their claim. The
state argued that tho estate should pay
inheritance tax. Attorneys for the de
fense, Mason & Mason, contended, that
the gift was purely a gift as such and
not conveyed in contemplation of death.
Attornfys for the stnte took an appeal
to the Supreme Court. ;
The case -attracted, a great deal of
attention. 1 ", '

Meanwfyle, more than a score of
destroyers were stringing out la-tween

to be available to . assist any piano

verdict of Judge "Chester L. Ducomb, 1
winch is scheduled to be announced tilt
urday "morning. Tho hearings, begun
moru than a week ago, came to a close
late yesterday, following completion jt
closing arguments by contending counsel.
ihe improbability of u woman in the
position of Mrs. Tiernan bringing before
the public the story of her rclutions with
another man, unless the acts actually oc
curred, such as the plaintiff bad done,
was emphasized by Prosecutor Jellison in
summing up 'the Btute's case. Ho as
serted that it had been shows that Mrs.
Tiernan 's sole motive in bringing tho
court action was to make Poulin acknowl
edge the parentage of his owiy child.
Mrs. Tiernnn hud "exiled herself from
society," had "voluntarily relinquished
her home.ihad deprived, herself of her
children, and the compunionsliip of her
husband, not for . revenge or for money,
but because her assertions are, the truth
and Harry Poulin must face the truth,"
the prosecutor said. ' ,
"Tiernan has stood by his wife in this
action, not for revenge;" he edntinued,
"but for the sake of. justice. The 'ease
involves the right of it father to be called
a father and to be king in his own domi
cile." In concluding, Prosecutor Jellisou
said: 1
"We know that Mrs. Tleman is not a
woman to compose a monstrous fabrica
tion to perjure herself iu tho eyes of
her children. The question before the
court is ' Who is the father of this
child f
"The evidence points to Harry I'ou
lint" In closing their case the defease attor
neys argued that the plaintiff liad some
ulterior motive for seeking revenge
against Poulin and maintained that the
prosecution hud not established that the
Mi by might not be Professpr Ticman 's
offspring. The attorneys attacked the
testimony qf Mrs. Tiernan that marital
rein t ion s between her and Professor Tier
l...: I 1. 1 .... .. . 1 . I
nan had lieen broken off at the time of
conception of the infant, and asserted
that the plaintiff apparently bad iiinu-
enced her husband to support her in her ,
cluirges. They emphasized the , point
that Professor Tiernan had at first ac
cepted the child as his own.
Tho actiou of these two persons, com
ing into court to prove this child illegiti
mate "To label it so that it can be
scorned by the world for the rest of its
life," said Attorney Swart of the de
fense, .is "to satisfy Mrs. Tiernan 's de
sire for revenge for Poulin 'h ignoring
her."
It has been indicated by both snl
that if tt decision is rendered against
