Bergamo'S M arital
Troubles Again Aired
in Court. 4
LAWYER Is TRYING
TO RECOVER $500
Money Said to Be Due as
Result Of Wire Tapping
Swindle Case.

A reecho Of the wire-tapping game,
in which Fiorentino Bergamo, a tailor
of 68 Market sire {. lost about $4,000,
was heard today in Chancery Court
before Vice. Chancellor Stevens The
story of the wire-t tapping swindle,
which took place in 1909, was recited
by Bergamo on the stand in a suit
brought against him by II. C. Bern
stein. a New York lawyer, who seeks
to recover $500 in notes which he
claims for professional services rem
dered in connection with the swindle.
Bergamo has had several of his diff
culties aired before the public in re-
cent years He got in trouble with a
girl of the name of Jessie La Rue, fol-
lowing a release which was signed by
his first wife, who gave up her dover
right as Bergamo's wife on February
81, 1908.
Bergamo had paid, he alleged, the
sum of $1,000 to Bernstein, who eventu-
ally secured the release.
Bergano stated that Bernstein said
over the phone that the trouble with
the La Rue girl could be settled for
$4,000.
Il haven't got that much money
Bergamo testified. Il want to marry
the girl and make it all right"
Miss La Rue finally consented to q
marriage after some settlement had
been made in July. 1909 in which Ber-
gamo paid over a certain sum in notes
to her. After they were married 1t is
alleged that Bergamo got possession
of the notes and later deserted the girl.
In the overlapping scheme Bergamo
claims that Bernstein agreed to take
half of whatever amount was recovered
in that case. stating that the "particu-
lar friends OF Bergamo who had swim
died him would give up rather than &C
/ to Jail
AS a matter of fact, the laws of New
York did not permit of any action in
the matter at all.
Bergano claimed further that the
notes for $500 were secured against his
will and by coercion.
Mr.. Bernstein held, however, that the
500 had nothing TO do with the LaRue
case. 1t was stated that Bergamo
acknowledged that Bernstein had rem
dered him valuable service in both
cases, but that his fees were excessive.
Bergamo paid Bernstein $500 in cash,
gave him suit of clothes and the 500
note, which is now in question.

WILL FIGHT
HIS REMOVAL
ASGUARDIAN

Frederick r. Maddock, who OH
Wednesday was removed as guardian
of Miss Carotta Heath, the 19-year-
old granddaughter and heiress of the
late Edmund F.. and Margaret {.
Heath, toGay filed in the surrogate's
office a notice of appeal from the order
of Judge William P. Martin, ousting
him from the position and appointing
Alfred L. Dennis in his stead.
The notice of appeal was presented
by Lum, Tamblyn & Colyer, counsel
for Mr.. Maddox. The appeal was
desired to carry the matter to the
Prerogative Court, where one of the
ehancellors of the State would pass on
the justice of the removal of Mr.. Mad
dock.
Mr.. Maddox was present in court to-
day to appear at a hearing of the ac-
counting of the Heath tate, which
was postponed until December %, in
order to give Miss Heath and Mr.. Den
mis-, her new guardian, a chance to go
over the books of the estate.
MIR. Maddox refused to discuss his
removal as Miss Heath's guardian. He
was made guardian of the yo ng woman
on the death of her grandmother. Mar
garet c. Heath, l. 1906 Under the will
of Edmund r. Heath, who died before
his wife, he was named as one of the
trustees of the estate, together with
Charles Glen. Mr., Gler has since died,
leaving Mr. Maddox as sole trustee.
1t is said that steps may be taken to
remove Mr.. Maddox as trustee of Miss
Heath's legacy, under the e. Z. Heath
win. Her interest in this estate is said
to be worth about 10000.

Positive licatlons of this were
found in number of theatres visited
by Rev. DR.. L. A. WATSON, rector of
St. stephens Episcopal Church, ac-
companied by reporter.
In none of the theatres was the law
violated. DR.. Wasson's first remark at
the conclusion of the trip was that the
STAR has put proprietors on their
guard and that the law would hereafter
be observed.
The trip disclosed the fact, however.
that the Board of Health has been lax
in its supervision and that steps must
be taken to make the theatres sani-
tary. Those visited were poorly ventl-
lated,
1T seems TO me the Board of Health
ought to do something to remedy these
conditions" said DR.. Wasson More
ventilation is essential"
II was also found that in all but one
place darkness prevailed, as it did
heretofore, despite the fact that the
E STAR, supported by Judge Davis and
Probation officer Gascoyne, said that
more light is needed if these places
be run Oh a moral basis.
In a nve-cont theatre on Market
street, near Broad, number of lights
were burning without spelling the ef-
feet Of pictures OH the screen. This
indicates the fact that similar con-
ditions could be maintained in other
theatres so that every person in the
audience may see the actions of every
one else.
Star Wins Two Important Points
Less than two weeks ago the STAR
began a crusade against such theatres
as violated the minor act and permitted
improper films to be shown. On
Wednesday Dr. Wasson remarked that
10th points advocated by the STAR
have been won.
Il am glad to see that the STAR has
won out" said DR.. Wasson. ut is
indeed gratifying to note that the po-
lice hive begun to do their duty and
that a movement is on foot toward
bettering conditions. Moving pictures
are still in their infancy, and the OBJ
iectio~o''o features about them hli
better be eliminated at once.
These pictures can make for great
deal of good, and likewise, a great
deal &C harm The question should De
thorough ~nne into now and the evils
abolished
This trip has shown us that with
the license department and the police
at work the minor act VII be OBJ
served. It would seem now that the
Board OF Health should take hand
in the tier"
DR.. Wasson's statement conforms
with that made by Mr.. Gascoyne, who
said that the license department, the
police and the Board Of Health, to-
gether with the fire department. should
be held responsible for the condition Of
moving picture theatres.
Three of these departments, all but
the Board of Health, have already
shown a willingness to work with the
Evening STAR for clean pictures and
