WOMAN SUING
SON THREATENS To
DIE IF DEFEATED
Mrs. Katharine Matz Tells Court
Adverse Decision Means
Her Death.

"Unless l win this suit against my
son | shall kill myself" declared aged
Mrs. Katherine Matz, of 2TS Belmont
avenue, at the conclusion of a Chancery
suit before Vice-Chancellor Stevens,
after her lawyer had summed up the
case and left its determination with
the court.
Mrs. Matz, who is "A years old, is
suing her son, George J.. Matz, of 278Hs
Belmont avenue to set aside deeds to
three properties which she conveyed
to him as a gift in 1904. Mrs. Matz
is a paralytic. and, wishing to insure
being cared for the rest of her life,
made over the property at 2Ts n 27S1s
Belmont avenue and 20S Livingston
street. valued at $12. 900. to her son, on
condition that he pay her the monthly
rents, amounting to $3.50 He has a
barber shop at 27Sh Belmont venue,
for which he pays no rent, but sup
ports his mother.
Mrs. Matz. who had to be carried to
the witness stand, testified that her son
paid the rents until April. 1907, but
thereafter failed in making payments,
although she alleged they were col
lected. So she sent him out for a
lawyer to bring suit against him, just
as she had sent him for a lawyer to
draw up the deeds to the properties,
four years before.
Her son declared that he had failed
in the payment of rents collected be-
cause he made needed repairs of certain
houses. Decision was reserved.

Charged with cruel treatment of a IA
year-old boy entrusted to his care, w.
H. Wilmington, a negro, superintend-
emit of the Home Women's Christian
Association, at 81 Mulberry street,
where negro children are cared for,
was today held by Judge Howell in the
First Precinct Court. Bail was fixed
at $500.
The complaint against Wilmington
was made by John A. Cullen, superin-
tendent Of the Children's Aid Society,
after Judge Howell had the boy and
his mother before him. The arrest of
Wilmington was made today by Plain
clothesmen Troy and King.
The boy, Levi Smith, whose mother
resides in Oradell, plainly shows the
marks of cruel treatment.
Wilmington, who denied ili-treating
the boy, declared the condition of
Smiths left hand was due 10 his fall
ing against a stove. There are thirty
five children in the home. and recently
Wilmington was warned by Judge
Howell.

recently when the pony was sold, and
the delightful horseback rides came
to a sudden end The purchaser. as
Ralph found out by inquiry, was a

age of five. Ever since his acquaint-

and God bless the pony" was an

evening after the sale of the pony.
Ralph hesitated when he reached his

ter company, which the court 70 nd
guilty on forty-three counts Of violat.
ing the Kansas antitrust law. The
maximum fine is 1000 a count and the
minimum 800. The criminal suit was
fled year ago by Attorney-General
