 Claims by the grandparents of Alois Schwab on both sides that his mother and father had died of broken hearts for which each blame the other and the story of a very unhappy domestic life of MT. and Mrs. Max Schwab, Jr., the deceased parents of the child whose guardianship is now being con- tested. were presented to Probate Judge Miller this morning during a hearing on the application of Max Schwab, of North avenue, to be ap- pointed guardian of his two and one half year old orphan grandchild.
 The hearing developed charges by | the parents of the child's father against the parents of his mother when the petitioners were presenting evidence to show why he should be appointed. and counter charges were made by the mothers parents against the fathers parents. when they made their claim to have the boy continued in their custody.

 child might live thousand years and that she would die in a week. were the sensational allegations of MT. and Mrs. Oliver c. L'Huillier. of II Federal avenue, in their efforts to show that the trouble was on the side of their daughters parents-in-law. Mrs Schwab died two weeks ago, less than six months after her husband.
