' : A REHAItKALE CASE. Twenty Tears ago Dr. David Crawford i - . . f . . i of Prince George county, Maryland died. , lie was a roan of great wealth ana was unmarried, his nearest relatives having j been a first cousin, Mr. it. a. Diacaourn, i of Clarke County, V lrginia, and tWO Mnn,? .!. Mm Krimrv and Miaa second cousins, Mrs. jiearney ana aiiss Forest. of Washington, D.

Crawford i thereupon consented to marry her, sti- ! pulating with her that the man i age j should be kept a secret, and the priest j united them in wedlock. Three other children were born after the marriage. ; Dr. David Crawford belonged to an aristocratic family, and keenly felt the ' disgrace which his brother had entailed ' on the family name. Regarding all the children as bastards, and the cohabita- tion of their mother with his brother as : criminal, the doctor broke off all relations : with them and ignored their existence. search for the will was made, but with- out success. Mr. illiam Duvau, a neighlior, informed Mr. Plackburn that the deceased had made a will, and that he and two others wtre witnesses to it, one a Mr. Payne, of Prince George coun ty, and the other a stranger whose name Duvall had forgotten. The children of Thomas Crawford and Elizabeth Taylor (the name she al ways went by) now set up their claim o the estate as the next kin. Then fol lowed the bitterest, the longest, the most celebrated contest whichever took I'lace in the Courts of Maryland. Mr. Piackburn was aided in the fight by John August in Washington, of Mount Vernon, who was hie cousin, and by oth er Virginia relatives. They went over to I'pper MarlLoro, the county town of Prince (roorge county, Maryland, stop Icd with Dr. Edward L" Sheehy, who had long been the physician and inti mate friend of the deceased Dr. Craw ford, anl who was qnit4 sure that a will hal been made by him. The contest began in Whole battalions of lawyers were marshalled on either side. The claimants as next of kin were represented by General Thomas F. Bowie and other able coun sel ; Blackburn ny Thomas S. Alexan der, William Schley and Governor Pratt. It was a bitter tight, and before it was over, many more or the most prominent lawyers m the Slate of Maryland were called into the contest. Tho priest was hually discovered in Kome, who testihed to the marriage of Thomas Crawford and Betsy Taylor. The Virginia con testants were thus beaten. Meantime the Crawford ehildren of Betsy Taylor got the property, spent the personal and sold the real estate and squandered their inheritance. .Now comes the strangest part of the story. The statement of Duvall that David Crawford had made a will was true. A Washington lawyer named Miller had drawn it for Crawford, and after it was ,1 ;lTld witnessed Miller, wLo was one of the witnesses, kept the instru ment at the doctor's request. He plac ed it in a box directed to Dr. David Crawford. The war coming on, be soon went South. Jelore leaving he tnM hi3 offit.e boy that, in the event of his not coining back to Washington, he (the boy) should send the box and othar pacers to the parties to whom thev were ll'llll! C.l U. ..Ill, .IT.ITI liui I HTM, 11 t i il l i ..l ti i . mg bt-en killed m battle 1 he boy went , away in int. t ouniiy, taMiig uie uo. ana the other papirs of Miller with him. He put them away and thought no more about them. A ft or nearly twenty vears bad elapsed, the bov, now a settled man, bethought him of the Crawford box. and sent it to one of the lawyers in the case last March. Blackburn, rim .? dead, and the two , Washington con-ins, were the devisees I of the will, Thus, after having been beaten in all the Maryland Courts and : in the Supreme Court of the I'r.ited States, the discovery of the long-lost will placed the Virginia and Washing ton cousins, or such of them as survive, in tho way of getting their estate, or. rather the land which third parties had purchased from the Crawford-Taylor heirs, and the innocent third parties ' will now br apt to lose their money, as well as the title and all. The strange part of the story is that nearly all the lawyers and principal con testants at the beginning of the lawsuit are now dead. It is a veritable Jarn dyce vs. Jarndyce chancery case, stran ger in many of its f-atures than the wildest fiction. JV't": York Stir. Crime from a Geographical Stand point.
