MERRIAM et al.* (Circuit Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit. June 6, 1921. Supplemental Opinion, August 1, 1921.) No. 3624. 1. Executors and administrators 59-Evidence held to show notes not in inventory were separate property of decedent's wife. 1 In a suit to set aside quitclaim deeds covering the interests of grantors in the estate of a decedent, on the ground that the grantors were overreached by the administrators, evidence held to show that certain notes which were not included in the inventory of the estate were the separate property of the widow, who was one of the administrators, so that they were not to be considered in ascertaining the value of the interests conveyed by quitclaim deeds. 2. Courts 367-State decision, establishing effect of language in a conveyance, controls. Though ordinarily the interpretation of a contract presents a question of general law, on which the federal courts are not bound to follow the state court, decisions by the highest court of the state that a contract by which the owner agreed to convey if the payments were made at the times specified did not work an equitable conversion of the property, where the owner died before the time of performance of the contract, which had become a rule of property in the state before the execution of the contract in controversy, is binding on the federal courts. 3. Courts 366 (16)-State decision, requiring equitable conversion of real property, is controlling. It is the exclusive province of the courts in the state in which the land is situated to determine its ownership and devolution and transfer, and whether there has been a conversion of the property from one sort to another. 4. Descent and distribution ~90 (4)-Evidence held not to show heirs were overreached by administrators. In a suit to cancel quitclaim deeds given by the heirs of decedent to the widow, who was one of the administrators, evidence of the value of the estate and the possibility of litigation regarding it held not to show that the administrators overreached the other heirs in procuring the quitclaim deeds for their interests in the estate; there being no misrepresentation of the facts.
