Caught by a Letter.

Writing letters to the firm that formerly
employed him and stating that he was off
to st. Louis to see the Fair, and later that
he was bound to the Philippines to have a
good time, are what landed John S. Gratz,
formerly of Camden, safe in Philadelphia
police courts Gratz, in spite of his
several letters, was located in Newark.
The missives were sent at intervals and
are supposed to have been for the purpose
of throwing any followers off the scent.
Gratz was an employee of the firm OF
John j. Felin & Co. He was collector.
Several months ago he suddenly disap,
peared, while his employers set their
shortage at $500. This was several months
back, and his disappearance was followed
by jocular letters as stated above.
Detectives Cannon and Tate, ST., were
given the letters and after some careful
work traced the letters to Newark and
eventually to Gratz himself, whom they
found in Newark. He was taken to Phil
adelphia by the officers.

of it to his wife, who had no earning ca
pacity, and to whom he decided his prop
erty, she having desire to want every
thing in her own name. The will was
executed on September 49, 1908, at time
when he and his wife were living with
Mrs. Emma Buckman, whom the witness
tried to show exercised unnatural con
duct toward her mother, and used undue
influence in urging her to make will.
Mrs Buckman had ordered the tenants
not to pay him any rent, and he was I'M
able to live on the income from the es-
tate, which is valued at about So, 900.
While the father was testifying two of
his daughters, Mrs. Emma Buckman and
Mrs. Mary Jane Cooper. who are the
executives, sat at the table of their coun-
sci. and by their actions plainly indicated
that they were shocked at the revelations
which he made.
When the Judge questioned the admis
sion of some of this evidence, Mr.. Hem
erickson replied by stating that he was
trying to show that it was not Mary F.
| Vanschuyver's will but Mrs. Buckman's
will, and that the provisions were depriv-
ing the husband of a proper livelihood
and forcing him into a position of penury.
The case proceeded and further testi-
mony was given by ]. Elwood, John Ed
mund, and VIM. F. Vanschuyver, and Eliz-
abeth Beckett, married daughter, who
tried to escape the witness chair on the
plea of illness, and it was a hard matter
to get her to speak, so reluctant was she
to reflect upon any member of the family.
She was cautioned about wasting valua-
BILE time of the court.
j. Elwood Vanschuyver was cut off in
the will because his mother during
her lifetime had given him sum equal to
what she would be able to leave her other
children. 1t is alleged that the caveat
filed by the father was an effort to break
the will so that Elwood could share in a
division of the estate.
Judge Gaskill could not see the slight
est testimony leading to undue influence.

cut through, and another cut was made
higher on the forehead, which also went
