WANTS GOODS
Of DEAD WIFE
John \. Bertrsm |: Suing
Isaac Harmed.

A peculiar phase Of matrimonial
existence was brought out this morn
ing in the district court when John
H. Bertram sued Isaac Harmed for
the household goods which Bertram
claims belonged to his wife and are
now said to be in Harned's posses
sion.
When Mrs. Bertram left her hus-
band some five years ago, Bertram
did not interfere with her alleged re-
lations with Harmed, 1t is under
stood, but now that she is dead, Ber-
tram wants the household goods.
At the hearing this morning
Harmed contested the case, through
his lawyer, H. W. Kehoe, on the
grounds that the summons had not
been properly served. The summons
was left at the home of his mother
In Mcclellan street by the constable,
who understood that that was his
home Harmed claims, however,
that his residence is still IN New
Brunswick avenue.
Judge Beekman set the-cas aside
on the grounds of the summons not
being properly served. Through his
attorney, Joseph E. Stricker, Ber-
tram will probably have the case
reopened.
