Deposit of $500 Made In 1928 Has
Grown to $4,000.
One Of the most complicated cases on
record in the recovery OF dead" funds
In savings banks Is being investigated
by William P Hamilton, Jr., and AL
bert ]. Graefee, lawyers, who are try
ing to divide $4,000 pie among TWEEN
ty-two hungry heirs, says the New
York World.
Stephen Skeer, or Scarr, who was
born a slave in Elkton, Md, came to
this city In 1923 and the following year
deposited $500 In the Chambers Street
bank, now the Bank for Savings, at
4th avenue and ODD street. In August,
1924, he drew out SO.
The bank was unable to find any of
the heirs In 1901 George A. SmSthe
took hold Of the case He found two
heirs, John Andrew Stephen Skeer of
$40 Sd avenue and John Alfred Scarr
Of % 9th avenue, Brooklyn, and had
them appointed administrators of the
estate.
Charles @. Halplne, who was attor-
ney Of record for the administrators,
received $165 for his services. After
his death he was supplanted by VIII
liams and Caldwell, lawyers, who re-
ceived 500.
Then other heirs suddenly turned up,
They went TO Lawyer Graefee and
asked him to get the whole account re-
adjusted. With Lawyer Hamilton he
fled objections to the account in'the
surrogats's office and Edward G. Whit
sker Of 141 Broadway was chosen ref
cree. With compound interest Of sew
snty-four years the amount would be-

How the Pulse Varies.

The human pulse has rather a wide
range, but the general average may be
put about as follows AT birth, l40; at
two years. 100; at from sixteen to
nineteen years, 80; at manhood, 70;
old age, 60. There are, however. great
variations consistent with health, Ma
poleon's pulse is said to have been only
forty-four In the Minute, cass is
also related Of q healthy man Of eighty,
seven whose pulse was seldom over
thirty during the last two years OF. his
life and sometimes not more than
twenty-eight. Another man Of eighty
seven years OF age enjoyed good health
and spirits with a pulse OF twenty.
nine, and there is also on record the
curious instance of a man whose pulse
In health was never more than forty
five, and, to be consistent In his incon-
sistency, when he had fever his pulse
fell to forty instead Of rising. as Is
usual.
