 * [|Judge Rejects Heirs' Claims to an Oil Fortune]

Brown Peregoy, representing 3,000 members of the Humphries Heirs Trust Association, contended that Pelham Humphries had received a grant to the Spindletop property from the Mexican Government in 1835 and had left no will.

But Judge Cobb ruled that Humphries had conveyed the grant to William Inglish, whose heirs conveyed it to William McFaddin in 1883.

This court desperately desires that the ghost of Pelham Humphries will no longer haunt the halls of the United States court system, the judge wrote. The Pelham Humphries litigation is over.

**Requiescat in pace**, he said - rest in peace. || *created by: Regina Maro ||
