FAMILY GHOSTS
ARE EXHIBITED
Guardian of Insane Widow
of Henry VOOrman Tells
How Her Wealth Was Used
TITLES GREATLY MIXED
Suit to Declare Trust in
Wife's Favor for Property
Bought With Her Funds

On behalf of the insane widow or
Henry Voorman suit was begun yes
terday in the Superior Court which
may involve the distribution OF his
$780, 200 estate or may be only pro-
ceeding to quiet title to the property
which falls to his seven heirs. John
r. Aitken was appointed guardian OF
Mrs. Mary A. Voorman, and his ap-
pointment and the suit were nled to-
gether. The fact that Mrs. Voorman
owned valuable property before she
became Voormans wife, /and that an
adjustment of the rights and titles has
never been had, affords speculation as
to the purpose of the latest proceeding
in the case. Annie Laura Voorman
and the six other heirs are named as
defendants.
Since 1875 Mrs. Voorman has been
in the insane asylum at Stockton. The
contentious of her guardian, probably
made in the interests of some of her
lawful heirs, will have a significant
bearing upon the distribution of the
estate. 1t is alleged that when Voor-
man IndTTleO MS VIE III loOct ouS was
the owner of the property at the cor
ner OF Jackson street and Sullivan al
ley. He acted as her agent and made
no accounting.
1t is averred that on June "a, 1868,
he had $21,0 900 in his possession that
belonged to his wife and with it pur-
chased from w. F. Swasey a property
at Bush and Mason streets. He took
the conveyance in his own name and
in his last will he did not specifically
devise this property to the heirs, who
are made defendants in the present
suit.
1t is further alleged that in January,
1877, Voorinan held $4,000 collected in
rents from his wife's property and con-
verted by him to his own use and that
in January, 1888, in consideration OF
the rents so collected, he sold the Bush
and Mason streets property to his in
sane wife 1t is asked that the court
declare that he held the title to the
property in trust for her and that her
title thereto be declared complete.
