Ernestine V. PRATHER et al., Appellants, v. DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, Appellee.

PER CURIAM:

Appellant sisters claimed as heirs-at-law of an intestate decedent yclept Eddie Burl. He had been reared as their brother in the home of their parents and had been described over the years, routinely and consistently, as adopted. However there was never a documentation of adoption or a formal proceeding to that end. District Judge Matthews rejected the claims of the sisters and sustained escheat to the District of Columbia. She filed with her ruling a careful opinion. Upon the premises there stated and discussed, we affirm.

In re Estate of McConnell, 268 F. Supp. 346 (D.D.C. 1967).

Affirmed.
