U.S. Supreme Court
Lewis v. Herrera, 208 U.S. 309 (1908)
Lewis v. Herrera
No. 7
Submitted December 13, 1907
Decided February 24, 1908
208 U.S. 309
Syllabus
The construction of the statute of a territory by the local court is of great, if not of controlling, weight, and in this case, this Court follows the construction given by the Supreme Court of Arizona to Par. 725, Rev.Stat. of Arizona of 1901, to the effect that a deed or conveyance of real property to be valid as against third parties must be signed and acknowledged by the grantor and that, until acknowledged, it is ineffectual to convey title.
85 Pac. 245 affirmed.
The facts are stated in the opinion.
