Special to The New York Times
READING, Penn., November 22 – An appeal has gone from Berks County to the Supreme Court of the United States to determine whether Margaret Cunnings, formerly of Reading, now living in Sacramento, Cal., hale and hearty, is legally dead or alive.
For years she was supposed to be really dead, but she was not. In a suit Judge Endlich, decided she was legally alive, although so long absent. So did the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. The Supreme Court of the State, however, killed her off again. She now asks the highest court of the land to make her alive in law.
