TOOK HIS wIFE's BODY.
Blind Old Mans Suit Against New
York Undprta kers

New York, Sept. 15.-ThOnIas Mooney,
of Brooklyn, who is seventy years old and
blind, appeared in the State street civil
court before Justice Men yesterday morn
Ing as complainant against the National
Funeral Director Company.
The old man demanded the arrest of
the directors of the company. He said
that its employees had entered his house
against his will, and, taking advantage
OF his blindness, had taken the body of
his wife out OF the window causing a
scandal in the neigbborhood. All this
was due to quarrel which Mooney had
with his son-in-law. William Dunn
The latter had told him that his Wife,
who died week ago. was insured for
S4S, and obtained permission to go ahead
and make the funeral arrangements
Dunn got Il deed for a lot for S12, and then
Mooney found, lie declares, that the in.
surance was for SS6 instead of S4S. He
informed his sonin-law that there would be
no funeral until he got his part of the in
surance money.
He drove out the mourners and the
neighbors who had done honor to the
dead by attending the wake, and locked
| the door. The four employees of the fu-
| neral company got in the window and took
| the coffin out of the window The old
man declared that a clock and several
articles of furniture were smashed in the
struggle. The police justice refused to
take any action.
