General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.

Lewis v. Herrera No. 7 Submitted December 13, 1907 Decided February 24, 1908 208 U.S. 309
APPEAL FROM THE SUPREME COURT
OF THE TERRITORY OF ARIZONA
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.
