Court Rules That Such Obligations
End With the Death Of the

NEW YORK, March 2s.-The APP
pellate Division has decided that a
woman's right to ailmony ends with
her death, and that the representa-
tives OF her estate can not collect any
sum that remained unpaid at the time
Of her death.
Accordingly. William Faversham,
the actor. who was divorced by Mrs.
Marian M. Faversham and then mar
ried Julie opp. need not pay $4,000
alImony claimed by Ahe executor Of
the estate Of his first wife.
Justice Scott, who wrote the opin-
ion in the case, said:
1T is not strictly a debt due to
his wife, but rather a general duty OF
support. In its very nature, there
fore, upon the death OF the wife, when
the obligation of support and MAIN
tenance ceases, the obligation OF pay
