NUTTY'S NAME NOW NUTLEY.
Insurance Agent Tells Court lie
Objects TO Rtdicule.

John David Nutty. AN insurance agent
Of 5S1 West lsSth street, got permission
from Supreme Court Justice Gavegan
yesterday to change his name TO Nutiey.
Nutty told the court that in his business
he was subjected to much ridicule because
Of the Slang use now made ~ the word
'nuttS.' and said he believed lie would
be benefited financially by the change.
supreme Court Justice Ford refused
yesterday to permit Aaron Demschofsky
10 change his name to Denman becaus. b,
he said II would disguise both the petit
toner's race and religion. and there was
no legal Justification for n change on
such grounds.
When the late Mayor Gaynor was on
Inc bench he ruled that there was no Law
prohibiting a man from taking ANY name
he chose without getting the perrnission
of the court. and said that the only re-
duirement Of Il change OF name WAS that
II honld be done in good faith. Other
Judges have followed this ruling.
