No. 99

Argued March 2, 3, 1910

Decided April 4, 1910

217 U.S. 189

Syllabus

This Court accepts the construction of a state statute as to condemnation of land given to it by the state court.

others, the parties in interest are not entitled to have damages estimated as if the land were the sole property of one owner, nor are they deprived of their property without due process of law within the meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment because each is awarded the value of his respective interest in the property.
