John Wallace died on September Is. 1909,
and the ground on which effort is made to
break his will is that he suffered from the
insane delusion that his daughter-in-la Ia "
was hostile TO him and had influenced his
son against him.
Wallace left a trust fund Of S750,GnN. from
which his son was TO have A life income
and on his death the money was to so to

CAN CHANGE NAME AT WILL
Justice Says Court S Sanction Is I'm
necessary to Make II Legal

Justice Fiuclite, in the City Court yes
terday denied legal sanction to Bernard
Burstein to change his name TO Bernard
BurstOn, and III doing so declared that the
permission of the courts was unnecessary
TO make legally his any name man might
want to take a substitute for the name
to which he born. Justice Finelite S
refusal was due ia the fact that the appli-
cant failed to observe all the provisions of
the statute under which application for
changes of name can be made TO the courts.
In his decision he went into the subject
of changed names at great length. citing
numerous examples of abandonment by
persons famous in the worlds history OF
their original names and the assumption by
them of cognomens more pleasing AT least
TO themselves
