The heirs at law of McCluskey are seek ing to secure from Patrick McGuirk, executor of his will, $30,000 worth of land that McGuirk claims as hia own by reason of a transfer through a third party over 20 years ago. McCluskey’s wife had died before him, and his only child, a son, had been missing for 17 years. In his will McCluskey provided that his land should be sold for $4,000, its then value, and half of the amount ex pended over a period of 20 years in masses for the repose of the souls of himself and wife. The other half was to be kept for 20 years for the eon, if he did not show up by then the masses were to continue for an other two score years. The heirs say McGuirk never as serted title during the 20 years, say ing he was keeping the land for the son. Now come the heirs and attack the transaction by which he secured the land, and they go further back and attack the will ns failing because it did not distinguish between the Greek and Roman Catholic church. Another issue they say the court must decide Is whether or not ex trinsic evidence must not be pre sented of the efficacy of the cergn* mony of the mass.
