MOTHER GETS
 VERDICT OVER
 HER DAUGHTER

Being out less than 1 0 minutes a jury in Superior court yesterday morning returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff in the action of Zuzi Szanto versus her daughter, Elizabeth Biro. The definite settlement of the matter in dispute will not be known until Judge John P. Kellogg who presid- ed files his brief with the verdict Of the jury.
 Most of the testimony was taken with the aid of an interpreter. The plaintiff, an old woman. claimed that she deeded a half interest in a two- family house at 6S-70 Harbor street, to her daughter, Elizabeth Biro. with the understanding that she was to have a suitable rome, with room and board, as long as she lived. This she claimed was denied her. She was forced to sleep on the floor, or else in an attic bedroom, where there was no heat. She claimed further that she was not given food, and was fore ed to hear vile language, and other wise miStreated.
 Finally, she alleged, she was forced to go to work, to obtain money with which to buy food. that she was al- lowed to make cffee in the kitchen,
 but was otherwise made to buy food that she had to eat cold, and that she was unable to subsist in this manner. The decision favorable to her, will be reviewed by the judge, who will make recommendations as to the disposi- 7 tion of the property, estimated to be worth $S,500.
