Injunction Denied.
The Lincoln News says: If Judge
Cornish's opinion stands the tet of
the higher court, tlx dead Imdy of
Edward 1. ("agney will repose where
it has lain for many years, in Mount
Calvary cemetery in this city, not
withstanding the demand of his moth
er. Mrs. Catherine McEntee, of Platts
mouth, and his brother and sister,
David and Marista McEntee, that it
be given to them for inlermeut in
titss county.
The decision was given verbally at
11 o'clock Wednesday morning. The
..uit was one in injunction brought by
thp(';iNs county relatives to restrain
Mrs. Mary Fitzgerald, an aunt, and
Bishop lionacum from Interfering with
them in the removal of the body.
The court deplored the fact that
the effort of tlie mother and other
near relatives was resisted by those in
whose custody the Uidy had teen. and
expressed the lelief that if 'atrney
were conscious of what was going on
here he would say that he would rest
better if the wishes of his mother,
whose footsteps now totter toward
the grave, were complied with in ef
fect stating that Mr.-.. Fitzgerald
ought to tind out if the mother really
desired her boy's remains to lie lieside.

and if she does to grant her that re
quest. It had leen maintained, here
tofore, it may e explained, that the
sister was the really active party in
the controversy, and that she was
actuated by a dislike of the Fitz
geralds. Yet the court said the law and logic
dictated that he should eny the in
junction and hold that the ixidy should
remain where it is. He was moved to
this determination by the Tact that
the testimony disclosed that the. ex
pressed wish of the deceased was that
he should I buried in the Fitzgerald
kit. There was no denial of this by
the other sidf, save a disposition in
the argument to disbelieve that such
wish was expressed. The fact, how
ever, said the court, that the deceased
bad willed all of his property to Mrs.
Fitzgerald, a wealthy woman, and ex
cluded his near relatives, compara
tively poor, would seem to corroborate
