" A Case Decerning Celebrated. .. The simple letter of a man named Cassetty, living in Tennessee, asking the Mayor for information with reference to the property of an uncle who died in New Orleans, promises to leave the public into the details of a celebrated case. J. E. Wallace now writes to the Mayor that his attention has been called to the letter in the newspapers. Martin S. Cassetty died, and there is supposed to be "some $30,000 in ' the estate. He - believes that Cassetty left a will in favor of Mrs.. Lottie W. Tillotson. a female physician, who nursed him in his last illness. Money is due her and to Dr. Kells, both of whom Wallace says he represents. The Public Administrator opened, the' estate on May 26, represented by Breaux and Hall: If. 'P. Dart appearing for heirs, and W. D. Denegre for absent heirs. An inventory was ordered taken. A man came from St. Louis and took the papers and minor effects of the deceased. No inventory has jet been taken. v , CoL Rowley,' of the Mayor's office, sent this statement to the inquiring nephew in Tennessee. "

"fHI CASSETTY WILL, CARS. msiU te th Crvtf . -; Over the Foay av - ;'Wa Died in this City. The letter of a man named Cassetty, living In Tennessee, asking Mayor Goinotte for Information with reference to the property of an uncle, who died la New Orleans, caused a reporter to look at the succession records In the Civil District Court, with, a view of ascertaining if any proceedings had been had or were pending in this matter. It appears that Martin S Cassetty, of Alabama, died on the 13th of May last. He was 80 years of age, unmarried, and had been In New Orleans five months when he died. On the 26th of May Messrs. Breaox and Hall, attorneys for the Public Administrator, opened the succession and applied for letters of administration. The court appointed appraisers and ordered that an Inventory of Cassetty property be taken. A short while after, Mr. Henry P. Dart, attorney for Wm. M. Cassetty, of Nashville, Tenn., filed an opposition to the Public Administrator, alleging that the domicile of decedent was Mobile, Ala., and that as the time of his death he was only temporarily in New Orleans. Decedent left nothing in New Orleans, but personal effects, of Inconsiderable value, attached to his person The opponent alleged that he has caused the accession of Martin S. Cassetty to be opened in Mobile, and tha an administration in New Orleans is unnecessary and not authorized by law, as the decedent owed no debts. The opponent further alleged that he was the blood nephew of said Cassetty, who left two other heirs, a nephew and a niece, whose procurations opponent held. Tom opponent prayed that tne application of tne Public Administrator for letters be denied and that In the event of the court thinking an administrator necessary, letters issue to him. .,- i It is supposed that this is a very large succession. Involving some $30,000. ."
