Fehn v. Shaw

Supreme Court of Georgia

1Opinion of the Court

Wyatt, Justice.

The petition in this ease contains the allegation that “Magdalena Fehn . . is a citizen and resident of Walker County, Georgia.” In another paragraph it is alleged: “Magdalena Fehn was at the time of the death of Martin Fehn . . a citizen of the German Reich and still is a German citizen and is an alien enemy.” Construing the contradictory allegations of the petition most strongly against the pleader, as we must do, the petition shows that Magdalena Fehn, at the time of the filing of the petition, was a citizen of Walker County, Georgia, and hence a citizen of the United States.
