Description:: A crowd outside the home of Anna Barnett, widow of Jackson Barnett, in Los Angeles' mid-Wilshire district. At the time, Barnett was in the midst of litigation in order to obtain her husband's $5,000,000 estate. The federal government had taken possession of the deceased Jackson Barnett's estate after his death in 1934, claiming that Mrs. Barnett was not his lawful wife. Anna Barnett, however, claimed that she and Jackson had been married for sixteen years, and that she had been instrumental in building his massive financial holdings in real estate and other sectors.On March 17, the government authorized a deputy District Attorney to inquire as to why Mrs. Barnett was not keeping the grounds of her Wilshire estate watered. Barnett countered that in her current financial circumstances, she could not afford the $30 monthly water bill to keep the lawn sprinkled, even though not watering the grounds violated local ordinances. The continued drama between Mrs. Barnett and the government attracted a fair amount of attention, as evinced in this photograph.
