Cruse v. Kidd
Supreme Court of Alabama
Appeal from Shelby County Court. Heard before Hon. E. S. Lyman. Ejectment by Douglass W. Kidd and others, against Dutch Cruse and others. Judgment for plaintiffs, and defendants appeal.
1Opinion of the CourtMayfield, J.
This is an action of ejectment brought by appellees against appellants. It is conceded that the legal title to the land involved-, and the right of either party to recover or to hold the same against the other, depends upon the construction of the will of John W. Kidd, made the 8th day of November, 1859, and probated August 17, 1866.
This will has been before this court for construction once before. See report of the case of Kidd v. Borum, 181 Ala. 144, 61 South. 100, Ann. Cas. 1915C, 1226. In this case, as in that of Kidd v. Borum, a trust deed was introduced in evidence, not as one passing…
