Description
The estate of William Jeffries, deceased, is the bone of contention in this controversy. His administrator, his widow, Nellie Jeffries, and William Jeffries, Jr., an adopted son of decedent and Nellie Jeffries, are parties defendant. The two latter defendants filed counterclaims, and the administrator filed a motion to dismiss the proceedings for lack of jurisdiction, due to plaintiffs confessed fraud in instituting the action, to which Nellie Jeffries was a party. The District Court denied the administrators motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction and heard evidence on the issues raised by the complaint and counterclaims and the answers thereto. The District Court then dismissed the entire proceedings for lack of equity. On appeal to this court, by Nellie Jeffries alone, we ordered the judgment of the District Court to be vacated and we remanded with directions to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction. We further ordered that there be no recovery of costs in this court by any of the parties to this appeal. 7 Cir., 149 F.2d 555, certiorari denied, Jeffries v. Jeffries, 326 U.S. 755, 66 S. Ct. 93.
