AGED WOMAN SUES
FOR ANNUITY.
Wealthy Mercantile Firm
Accused of Attempting
to Avoid a Contract
MONEY IS ADVANCED

A suit for specific performance of an
unusual contract. by which the rich
mercantile firm of Jacoby Bros. of Los
Angeles bound itself eleven years ago
to support S. Davis and his wife until
death claimed them both, was filed
yesterday in the County Clerks office
by Attorney Maurice L. Asher, repre-
senting Mrs. Rose Davis of 22S Second
avenue, the survivor of the aged pair.
and infirm, demands that she be given
$40 a month for the remainder Of her
life, and refuses to compromise on
$500 settlement which 1t is said has
already been offered her.
The complaint filed yesterday sets
forth that in 1895 Mr.. and Mrs, Davis
advanced to Isaac Nathan Jacoby
Nathan Jacoby, Charles Jacoby. Abra-
ham Jacoby and Lesser Jacoby, con-
stituting the firm of Jacoby Bros, the
sum of $500, comprising the savings
of their lifetime 1t was because the
pair were then rapidly growing old and
wished to free themselves from care
that the contract was entered into.
Jacoby Bros. needed a sum of money
to establish themselves in business,
and Mrs. Davis declares that it was as
much due to their solicitations as to
the desires of her husband and herself
dition to the $3500 which was paid
over, the Davises agreed to will to
Jacoby Bros. on their death any prop
erty which they might have accumu-
lated.
In return for this it is alleged that
Jacoby Bros. agreed to pay $50 per
month for the support of the couple
until one of them died, and then $40
per month to the remaining one for
life, and also to pay the burial eX-
penses and erect a monument over the
grave of the first to pass away.
The contract was kept. says Mrs.
Davis until her husbands death oc-
Cured in February. Then, she de-
clares the defendants failed to pay
the $3.50 burial expenses, and have
since March 81 failed to pay her the
monthly allowance. Mrs. Davis is now
making her home with Mrs. II Froh-
man of 228 Second avenue, and is with
out means of support.
During the time that has elapsed
since the contract was entered into
Jacoby Bros. have paid over $4,000 in
return for the advance made to them
years ago. Attorney Asher states that
the firm has recently offered to pay the
outstanding funeral bill and give Mrs.
Davis $500 in cash for a release from
the contract, but that this has been
refused and that the matter will be
fought out In. the courts.
