Supreme Court Refuses To Rule On Cat Ownership
Charleston July 29 AP The Supreme Court avoids deciding who owns a white Persian cat of uncertain value after a long dispute between Mrs. Buenla H White of Huntington and Mrs. Ida Pearl Winster. The case began last October with a jury verdict for Mrs White to reclaim the animal from Mrs Winster, who claimed ownership. Spurlock's magistrate court appeal concerned value of the cat and potential grounds for further appeal. The circuit court later ordered the cat turned over to Mrs White but the Supreme Court indicated it would not adjudicate the ownership question.
