A case was tried at Chambersburg last week between Howard S. Geiselman vs. Patrick White, both of Waynesboro. Mr. Geiselman is a native of this county and a brother of Harry Geiselman, clerk in Peoples Cash Store and sued to recover possession of a Waynesboro property. Mr. Geiselman was the adopted son of John H. and Annie E. Beecher, former residents of Adams County, both of whom died during the past few years. He made his home with them during the greater part of his minority and for a while after he reached 21 years of age. A property was bought in Waynesboro and deeded to H. S. Geiselman and it was said to have been a gift of the house and lot to him by his adopted parents. Afterwards Mr. Geiselman made a deed for the property to Mrs. Beecher and she to Patrick White. Mr. Geiselman sued to recover possession on the ground that when he made the deed to Mrs. Beecher he was a minor and was consequently incapacitated to make a deed. It took the jury but a half hour at close of trial to find a verdict for Mr. Geiselman.
