LONG HUNT FOR A CHECK
Receivership for Genealogical
Bureau Proves Costly.
BURDEN FALLS ON WOMAN
Creditors of Concern Demand
Part of $4,000 and Win After
Much Litigation.

This Is legal chronology OF the business
troubles of Mrs. Ida w. Schmidt, former
head of the American Genealogical Bureau.
the business OF which was to trace ances-
tries for persons who had sufficient money
to have the service performed. But tho
bureau probably never used greater per-
severance In finding ancestors for clients
than Jerome c. Jackson exercised as re-
ceiver for Mrs. Schmidt.
The receiver was appointed by Justice
Newburger In 1906 in an action brought by
Walter J. Solomon. After exactly six years
of service in that capacity Justice Erlan-
ger has relieved Mr.. Jackson, who in that
time. after much trouble and great expen-
diture, succeeded in tracing a certain AOO
check made payable 10 Mrs. Schmidt. She
had denied all knowledge of 1t, but the
much sought for slip of paper was fnally
found in Detroit An affidavit in the case
said that no effort was made to prosecute
the woman for perjury, because she had
been confined In an insane asylum In
Pennsylvania. She is also a Christian
Scientist.
Mrs. Schmidt, who later became Mrs.
Marvin, had two partners IN the ahcesiS
bureau. They were George Bennett and
Charles Barmore. They did business at
No. 200 Fifth avenue. In 1903 the two men
partners gave Mrs. Schmidt check for
NUO and a chattel mortgage for sl,VW for
the business. About that time Solomon
got a judgment for S,729 against the pu-
reau for rent. The landlord did not have
to interest himself in the matter OF an
cestry to convince him that his best chance
to collect the judgment was to hold Mrs.
Schmidt, for the Sheriff could find nothing
to levy on.
An action was brought to set aside the
transaction whereby Mrs. Schmidt got the
1900 check. on the ground that it was done
to defraud creditors. But Mrs. Schmidt
could Tot be served. She had gone TO De-
troit which was her home. A suit was
brought there in the United States Court,
but was discontinued on Mrs. Schmidt fling
notice of appearance in court here. She
got extensions from time to time and then
a stipulation was made thai IL Mrs Schmid.
could prove that she never got any part OF
the 5000 the Judgment obtained against her
