Versluis v. Town of Haskell

This action was instituted by the Alien Property Custodian of the United States in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma against Harry G. Davis, executor of the estate of Henry Drost, deceased, Wilhelmia Langenberg, a resident and citizen of Germany, Evalyn M. Neary, and Jack Thornbrough, seeking a decree adjudging that he was entitled to the legacy of Wilhelmia Langenberg, and that Evalyn Neary had no right or interest therein. Davis answered, admitting the material allegations of the complaint, and asked similar relief against Evalyn Neary. Evalyn Neary filed an answer claiming the entire estate, less some small bequests, under a written contract signed by Drost. She prosecutes this appeal from a judgment adverse to her claims.
