living relatives, the will of Friedman
bequeathed all of his property TO va
rious charities, the bulk of 1t to the
Hebrew Home for the Aged in this
city. Two hundred thousand dollars
of the estate had been turned over to
the trustees of the Hebrew Home
when Goldberg appeared in behalf of
the Hagan family Of Orlean, N. Y,
claiming his clients were blood rela-
tives of the dead merchant. The Or
lean heirs were followed by various
claimants of the same name from
Texas.
According to the affidavit filed to-
day Goldberg discovered that perjur-
ed testimony had been submitted by
several of the, claimants, and inform
ed Solomon, who is attorney for the

the white corpuscles attack disease
germs like tigers. But often germs
multiply SO fast the little fighters are
overcome. Then see pimples, boils,
