Charlotte Gardiner Demorest, who
were wed May in surprise to their
friends and the latter's fiance, George
Burton of Elberon, N. J.-was barred
to visitors yesterday morning. but a
deputy sheriff intruded.
Just before 10 o'clock Louis Ressler,
from Sheriff Percival Nagle's staff,
went to the Counts apartment with a
writ sued out by Samuel ]. Goldberg of
207 Van Siclen avenue, Brooklyn, on a
Judgment of $1,063.24 against the
young Hungarian nobleman.
From a clerk the deputy learned
that the Count and Countess had given
instruction not to be disturbed until
noon. Matters were urgent, however,
and over the telephone there followed
an explanation to the Zichy apartment.
No Money for Sheriff.
Countess Itchy received the official
visitor. explaining that her husband
could not appear because of something
like an indisposition. Over the cigar
cites, the Sheriff's representative told
about the judgment and insisted dis
cussing the possible assets of the Count.
why Eddie hasn't any money the
young Countess is said to have replied.
That is. his family is reputed to have
money, but of course they are in Eu-
rope. And L"
The upshot was that the Countess
had neither money nor concern for the
proceedings which brought her matu-
final visitor to see her husband. SO the
writ could not be served.
The judgment which Goldberg had
filed against Count Zichy was the re-.
suit of an automobile accident In which
the Counts Simplex speedster damaged

against the Count.
Last night the Count. aided by
friends, consented to comment on his
Simplex speedster and the Judgment.
Apparently the world still smiled down
on him: certainly he smiled back at
1t. If someone was looking for prop
erty. he remarked that he wished they
might find some because he would be
willing TO treat that subject as mat
ter of division. He added:
But the automobile accident and

take. / didn't know n thing about IL.

friends In their apartment last evening
and intmated that they might go to
the theater to finish the day.
