PROTECTS "oRAss WIDOWS"
Entitled to Same Rights as Those
Whose Husbands Are Dead"

Toledo. GA divorced woman,
whose husband is living, is to be class
ed as a widow. The appellation grass
widow" won't do.
Such is the Interpretation given a
decision rendered by Judge r. W. Tay-
Ter in the United States distric court
in the interesting case of Ella E. Giles,
bankrupt.
Mrs, Giles, on June % last, was ad-
judged a bankrupt by the federal
court. Harry Levison was appointed
trustee. Petitioner asked that she be
allowed, as exempt under the Ohio
statutes, her household goods and a
lot worth about $500, situated in North
Toledo.
Fordyce Bedford, USited States
bankruptcy referee, allowed the first
named exemption, but upheld the trus.
tee in his finding that the bankrupt
was not entitled to property under the
state law,
AS a reason Mr.. Bedford certified to
Judge Tayler that she vas denied the
right to the real estate because she is
hOt d Miuo"' anu DSCduSe she Is MOI
an unmarried female having in good
faith the care, maintenance, and Gus
tody Of any minor child or children
Of a deceased relative, as required by
section 5441."
Judge Tayler holds that Mrs. Giles
is entitled TO the exemptions asked
for. 1t therefore follows that grass
widows" ~so-called, can benefit under
the Ohio statutes. which resolved into
an interesting question for the federal
court. Judge Tayler set aside the de-
cision Of the referee in bankruptcy.
