EX~-FREEHOLDER SMITHS
WIFE SUES HER BROTHER.
Says He Misapplied $1,314.55 of
Dead Mothers Estate.

Claiming that her brother, Frederick
Hartuns, az administrator of their
mothers estate, had. misappropriated
s1,S14.55 of the estates funds, Mrs.
Anna Smith, wife Of former Freebooter
Frank B. Smith, began proceedings in
the Orphans Court before Judge Davis
today to have the accounting investi-
gated.
Mrs. Augusta Hartung died on Sep
TENDER Z, 1909, leaving, besides her
other property. the sum of H,S14.65 in
the German Savings Bank. The money
was not only In her name, but also In
the name of her sons, Frederick and
Frank, who lived with her at 1914 Fifth
street. She died without leaving a will,
and Frederick Hartung was appointed
administrator.
It developed in court today that Mrs.
Hartung, who in late years was very
feeble, was accustomed to e her
sons to the bank to deposit her money.
The handbook was made out In the
three names, but she vas the only one
that drew any money out, and the
money deposited was all hers, the
daughter says. At her death the two
sons drew the money from the bank
and divided 1t, maintaining that 1t be-
longed to them and not to the estate.
The court reserved decision.

TRUSTEES ARE ALLOWED
TO SELL VERONA CHURCH.

ants Opposition to Sale.

Vice-Chancellor Howell today the
property held by the trustees of the
Verona. NJ. E. Church, where Its con-
gregation now worships, may be sold
and The proceeds devoted to the pur-
chase of the other property for a new
church edifce.
Christian Bone, in 1888, gave the
property for church purposes. 1t Is
situated at Bloomfield avenue and
Grove street, and the building was en-
larsed in 1873. Because of the growth
of the congregation, and for other rea-
sons. it was deemed advisable by the
trustees to sell the property and Sc
cure other premises at Mountain ave-
nue. and Hill venue, in Verona. They
resolved to sell at a meeting held June
20. 1908, and then he Bone heirs
raised objections. which were heard in
the Court of Chancery.
These heirs are Louis Il. II Emily
Grace Bone, Mrs. Eliza Della Holmes
and Abraham y. w. Holmes. The
three first named are children of the
donor OF the property, and Mr.. Holmes
is the husband of Mrs. Eliza Della
Holmes.
1t was claimed. among other things,
by the trustees, that the property was
unsuitable any longer for church pur-
poses because of the noise OF trolley
cars and general traffic, and TO this
the Bone heirs took exception. Testi-
mony was heard before Alonzo Church,
as a master in chancery.
The trustees were represented in the
litigation by McCarter & English.
