Celebration of Lafayette and Marne Anniversary at West Point
The West Point ceremony honored General Lafayette and the Marne battle anniversary with ambassador Myron T. Herrick and Emile Daeschner attending. The bill of complaint alleges Palm Beach land valued around 15.6 million dollars tied to Richard Croker and Alice Eccleston, detailing transfers, deeds, and disputed ownership. It seeks recognition of Croker as head of a Florida family, declaration of the Croker homestead, nullity of certain deeds, and heirs to the estate. The Croker motioned to dismiss the bill on January 27, with further motions on February 4.
