jeremiah Casey, formerly mayor of
Edgewater. on the Palisades, the 9TH
er day was elected from the home he
had bought three years ago and all
the possessions he had left in the
world were set out in the street. His
wife was so shocked by this latest bit
ter experience that she collapsed and
had to be placed in a doctors care.
Casey's later years have been full OF
hard luck and litigation. About all
the money he once possessed has been
spent in lawsuits.
His prosperity and adversity are
due almost entirely to his inventive
genius. Several years ago he invented
a mailing machine. The device could
take the requisite amount of timber,

length. and make a box OF II as good.
IL not better, than one made by a car
penter. A company was organized to
build the machines and put them in
operation. Casey asserts he was not
treated properly by the concern. At
any rate he lost his interest in the
patent and in the company as well.
That started a long line of legal pro-
ceedings which dragged through many
courts and took much money. Casey
