DISMISS PETITION TO
REOPEN MUCH-TRIED SUIT
Judge Osborne Refuses to Re-
view Sternberg Case.

Judge Harry V Osborne, in the
Orphans Court, has signed an order
Diminishing the petition of Mrs. Rosa
Sternberg, asking for the rehearing of
a petition bearing on the estate of
Jacob Stern, who died in 1892. The
petltion on which a rehearing was
asked was disposed of in the Orphans
Court In 1909, and after being taken
M on appeal from that court was
not prosecuted in the upper court.
The appeal seeks an accounting
from the late David Wolff, who with
Mrs. Sternberg, widow of jacob
stern. were named as executors of
the estate. The appeal alleges that
Mr.. Wolff had never turned the prop
erty and money of the late Mr.. Stern
over to his estate.
On January 20 Judge Osborne filed
an opinion in the matter, in which he
stated that he could see no reason
for reopening the case, as it had been
disposed of. One week later, on Feb
ruary ;, Lazar Sternberg, husband of
Rosa Sternberg, appeared in the
Orphans Court with a petition pre-
pared by himself, asking for a re-
hearing. In this he made practically
the same representations as made in
the petition of Mrs. Sternberg, also
alleging himself to be large creditor
of the Stern estate.
This petition is still before Judge
Osborne, who has not yet examined
into its methods. On application of
spalding Frazer. counsel for Mrs.
David Wolff, widow of the deceased
executor of the Stern estate, Judge
Osborne filed an order dismissing the
petition of Mrs. Sternberg.
