Brings Suit to Recover
Second Legacy of 81 900
Left by His Stepfather

suit to recover a second legacy
of $4,000 left to him by his stepfather.
Jacob Stern, has been instituted by
Walter Sternberg, of 26 Marin place.
The present action has been brought
against Mrs. David Wolff widow of
one of the executors. Wolff, it is said.
took on himself all of the manage
ment of the estate. Except for two
legaeies of $4,000 each, to his son,
Stern left all of his estate to his
widow.
One of these legacies of $4,000 was
to be paid to Walter Sternberg when
he was twenty-one years old The
other was to be paid when he became
twenty-six, IF he shall grow up to
be a good and useful man, free from
evil habits and associations" The
payment Of the second legacy to be
only with the consent of the tesla
tors widow.
When Sternberg became twenty-one
years old, he was compelled to sue
for his legacy. David Wolff. the exec
utor, declared that he had not re-
ceived any money from the estate of
the testator Stern, but it was found
that before Stern died, Wolff had Oh
tained $4,000 from him and had in
vested the money in business. The
vice chancellor decreed that the $2,00c
be paid. Now the second suit is
brought to recover the second $1,000.

Outstanding Accounts
Causes the Failure
of Furniture Dealer

Inability to collect outstanding ac-
counts is the reason given for the
failure of James e. Bryce, furniture
dealer, at 1896 Springfield avenue,
who filed a voluntary proceeding in
bankruptcy today. The book value
of Bryces assets is estimated at $22,-
092 and the liabilities are $40, 564
There are $12,011 worth of outstand-
ing accounts among the assets. These
are leases or instalment accounts for
furniture. The stock at the Spring.
field avenue store is valued at $1,000
and the insurance carried by Bryce
is valued at $6,575. OF the total liza
bilities 1882 is unsecured. Bryce is
represented in the bankruptcy pro-
ceedings by Lintott, Kahrs & Young.
The petition was filed in the New
ark branch of the United States Dis
trict Court and referred to Referee
Atwood l.. De Coster. The referee ap-
pointed Andrew Van Blarcom re.
