The attorneys who are acting for the
heirs of Alexander II. McGarren said yes
terday that they were sure that there would
be no contest, despite the statements of
the woman who calls herself Hester McGar-
rem and who inserted an advertisement
Of McGarrens death three weeks after
1t occurred
There is on record in the Supreme Court
here a decree entered by Justice BischoR
in 1901 annulling the marriage of Alexander
II. McGarren to Hester McGarren. Ac-
cording to Blatchford 4 Sherman, it
would be necessary for the woman to
have this decree set aside be fore she
could get any surrogate to listen to her.
In the four years that have elapsed since
this decree was entered no action ha 8
ever been taken to do this, and the
attorneys of the McGarren heirs say that
such action would be deemed to have been
begun too late.
The story Of McGarren's relations with
the woman we're told yesterday by a man
who knew him.
MIR. McGarren, he said met this woman
more than thirty years ago in this city.
The woman told him at first that she was
unmarried, McGarren did not marry the
woman until 1898, when she finally induced
him to. McGarren had believed that the
woman was fond of him.
soon after the marriage she induced
him to turn over to her a large part of his
property. After this she left him, 1t
was then that Mr.. McGarren, decided to
look up her past and have the marriage
annulled, if possible.
1T was found that the woman was Mrs.
! Schulen. the wife of a Chicago horse
dealer whom she had married in Kentucky
thirty years ago. Long after the marriage
| Schulein began suit for divorce against
her in Kentucky and she retalated by
bringing suit against him IN New Jersey.
She subsequently dropped her suit. but
Schulein continued his and got the Ken
lucky courts to give him decree. When,
| however. an investigation was made OF this
action, il was found that the woman had
never been served and knew nothing Of it.
| This with other evidence was produced
before Justice Bischoff and papers IN the
| annulment action were served personally
on the woman. She never paid any atten-
| tion to the suit and put in no appearance
Justice Bischof handed down a decision'
which attracted some attention, in which
he declared absolutely worthless and void
| the divorce granted in Kentucky.
His decision and decree are still on file
No one has ever disputed it. or moved ar
appeal from it, 1t disposes finally and
irrevocably Of any claim the woman might
