Docket No. 4620.
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
on behalf of
Alfred Baxter, Administrator of the Estate of Allan W. Robinson, Deceased,
Claimant,
v.
GERMANY.
BY THE COMMISSION: –
Allan W. Robinson, a subject of Great Britain, 26 years of age, was a passenger on and went down with the Lusitania. He had never married; he died intestate. He left him surviving as his sole heirs-at-law his parents, both British subjects. His personal effects which were lost with him were impressed with his British nationality. While the administrator of the decedent’s estate, on whose behalf the claim is put forward, is an American national, the entire beneficial interest in the claim is British.
Applying the rules announced in the Lusitania Opinion, in Administrative Decision No. V, and in the other decisions of this Commission to the facts as disclosed by this record, the Commission decrees that under the Treaty of Berlin of August 25, 1921, and in accordance with its terms the Government of Germany is not obligated to pay to the Government of the United States any amount on behalf of claimant herein.
Done at Washington January 7, 1925.
