The case was etill pending when Irving
died, but was taken up where he left or
by Walter Matthews, who was named AZ

features of the case reached the open
courts from time to time, but the main
action was not pressed. Recently the
defendants attacked the suit on legal
ground. They discovered that there
had never been return on the original
summons. and that with the failure Of
the acting plaintiff to press the case
