Ruling Splits Library Between Mrs Ellis and KU
District Judge Hugh Means upheld a half interest for Mrs Irene Ellis in Ralph Ellis library valued at about 200000 dollars. He ruled the May 3 1945 consent agreement did not conclusively waive her rights and that she elected to take under Kansas law of descents and distributions. The decision reverses the prior finding that the library belonged solely to the University of Kansas and follows long legal wrangling dating to 1946.
