Voice of Bernice Heinze
Asks 10 Expunge Divorce.
Will Be Besought to Restore Her 10
Him in Death.-Her Dying Wish.

New York. April 3.-The court that
parted +. Augustus Heinze, the cop
per king, and his wife Bernice, While
She was living will be besought to
restore her to him in death. 1t was
Mrs. Heinze's dying wish that this he
done for the sake of her child. Her
lawyer, Benjamin F. Spellman, began
preparation of a remarkable petition,
today. a few hours after his CLIENT
death, to expunge the record of the
interlocutorY decree already granted.
Il have always loved you, Fritz; |
have always hoped something would
happen To bring you back To mes-the
dying woman's words of reconciliation
with her husband the death bed
scene, her tears and embraces; his
assurances of love. his promise to try
to fulfill her last wish-all these will
be written into the petition, together
with the testimony, under oath, of
Mrs. Heinze's mother her sister. and
the nurses who stood nearby.
Never before has the supreme court
of New York been petitioned to eX-
punge the record of Il divorce by
voice from the grave.
Had she lived it would have been
possible for Mrs Heinze to discon-
tinue this action Mr. Spellman said,
today. Because of her love for
Heinze and her hope that something
would bring about n reconciliation,
she postponed taking the final decree
which might have been entered last
month. She had only till April II 20
decide whether the decree would he
taken. Again and again, she told me:
Wait, wait, that decree means death
between nay husband and me. To take
il would tear my soul from its body.
During the last minutes of her
life. she repeated over and over again
the request that the record be cN-.
plunged. / ann convinced that there
must be some method for the Great
Chancellor to reach out and destroy er
seal those records.
