Robinson conveyed by deeds, in 1913, to sundry persons, who conveyed to Draper, the complainant, but the ovidenco of the President's consont, if thoro was any, could nat be produced. Rotinron died in Apall, 1873, at the age of o hundred or thorea- bouts, nevor having mado auy claim of tho par- ,tlos in possosalon of this land up to the timo of his death, Shortly after his death, the oecn- pants Joarned that tho defendant, McClure, claimed to own the land by virtue of deod from Robingon, dated in 1872, and which wasapproved by the President in March, 1873. As Robingon had boon very infirm for geveral movths pre- ceding his doath, and a part of the time laboring under insanity, there wero grave doubts ay to tho validity of the conveyance, DRAPER THEREUPON FILED 15 PETITION asking tho Court to conlirm his title, alleging that McCluro had obtained hia deed by frand, and that he (complainant) ought to be held the ownor for the following reasuny: Firat—That the Court ought to presume con- sont afterthe lapao of time without any claim on behalf of any one. Sceimd—Thut as McClure bad obtained his title in fraud of Robinaon, and Robiuson had convevod ao farashe could to Deaper for cou- sideration, that the convent glyen to MeCluro ought te be held to cauttably belong to Draper, Hard—That tho titte of Robinson and those claiming undor him was barred by tho statute of limitations. SUDGE YANWELL refused to allow tho petitioner the beneft of any proaumption uuder tha circumstances, Ho held, however, that the statute of hmitations did run against Robinson, and that he hold the fee, although ho could not convey without consent of the President. Upon the quostion of THE ALLEGED £nAvD agto tho Inst dovd from Hoblinson to McClure, Judge Farwoll said: From the evidence before ms I am natlafled that that clatin 4s woll-founded, and that that deod waa ob- tained by fraud, and that Alexander Robinton was not of infud and tmotory autliciently sound to quality him to traneact bus{nces of that description at the time {t was obtalnod—thet it was obtaiued by fraud from Leginuing toend, I Lave no doubt on that quee- tlou, aud thut the conscnt of the Presidout to that deed or to that conveyance was obtains by frau, that tho representations which were ma:lo were fratd= went, without now undertaking to go trough with tha testimony, 48 TO THE LIMITATION Law tho Judge romarked : T think that under the facts in this case the com.

F. Allen, formerly of tho firm of Allen, Stophons & Co, In justice to the Company with which Iam connected, as well aa to myself, I bog to make the following explicit statements and denials: Neither “Tho Charter Oak Life-Insurance Company nor the undersizucd ever owned or bought, uor sought to own or buy, any ivterest whetover in the Mono or any other gold or sliver anino iu Utah or olsowherc, Neither the Com- pauy nor myself cver mado or attomptod tomako any arrangement with Allon, Steplions & Co., Mosers.

Allen in tho amount of €500,000, or any other sum, for tho alleged reason that it would “rathor do go than haya tho fact known that ite Vice- President and ‘Troneuror had uaed 150,000 of its funds," is untrue in afl respects, ‘The Company never agreat to loan UB, 1, Allon any sum of monoy whatever, nor did 1 in its bohalf go agreo, ‘the American Exchango Nattonal Bank did not prior to Feb, G nor at any other time advanco a large—or other—sum of money to Allon, Stephens & Co., norto Steplisnyand Biennorbas- xott, at ny request or that of any oficer of “The Charter Oak Company,” nor tpon any as- surauco OF ARreoment OL my or its part that tho samo ehould be repald. The last statement in tho complaint which affoois “Tho Chartor Oak Life-Inaurauce Campany" ia the only ove con- cerning it which has uny foundation in fact, but even this in material mattois is frossly fpaccurate, The Company agroed ao buy of Alten, Stephens & Co, such 10 per cent bond and mortgages on Towa proporty as Br. Allon might furnish thom, if tho samo should moot with approval under tho Company's rules, but no fixed amount was ne- gatiated for, ‘be Company migit, and probe ably would, havo been willing, iu order to secure tho dosirplo investment of 10 per cont mortgages, tohava “advanced 450,000" provided Allon, Stophens & Co, had bocn ablo to place with it mortgage securitios in exact accordauce with ile requiremonts, but it did not advance the amount named becaune socutitics of the kind named wero uot furnished. It is sufliciont to wtate in addition that for whatever business the Company has ever trang. acted with Allon, Stoplens & Co. it has ro. coived aud now holds the amploat seourity, and that {te position and my,own can and will be fully yiudicatod at the proper time and race, 8.1L, Waite, 2S INDIANA JUDICIAL DISTRICTS.
