CROKER AND HIS CHILDREN
ESTRANGED BY LAWSUITS
Tammany Chief and His Indian Wife INDICATED in
Action So Far Terminated-Fathe and Richard,
Jr., Split in 1917 Over Latter's Rights.

The last years OF Richard Croker $
life were embittered by alienation from
his children, who conducted long series
OF legal actions against him. The
estrangement dated from Mr. Croker's
marriage to his second wife. Bula. who
represented herself as of American In
dian stock.
His sons and daughters. in March,
1919 obtained from the court In West
Palm Beach, Fla, a temporary in1unc-
ton restraining the old chieftain from
further dissipating his estate" In the
supporting papers it was alleged that he
was mentally unsound and incompetent
20 handle his extensive affairs and that
he was being unduly Influenced by his
second wife. who by means OF gifts ana
deeds. was rapidly taking possession OF
the major part of his fortune.
The issue went to trial in the spring
of 1920 in the West Palm Beach Circuit
Court. Both Mr.. and Mrs. Croker came
from ireland to defend the case, which
had enlisted galaxies of counsel on each
side Karold Nathan was senior counsel
for the former Tammany boss. Repre-
senting the sons and daughters In like
position were the New York firm of Nc
Combs & Ryan, the senior member OF
which was the late William F. McCombs,
chairman OF the Democratic National
Committee In 1912 and one of the pio-
neer champions of Woodrow Wilson.
Celebrated alenists also were sum-
moned by each side and the trial Of the
The New York herald., 1922-04-30

case consumed several months. Finally
on July IL, 1920. Judge E. B. Donnell
dissolved the temporary injunction, az
firmed the mental competency of the
one-time leader and decided his wife had
not fraudulently gained possession of his
property.
The senior Croker's sons. Richard. Jr.,
and Howard. seemingly accepted the
Florida verdict as conclusive. Richard.
Jr., however. has been much in evidence
in the New York city courts since then.
He and his brother and sisters began
five lawsuits against their father. Rich
ard. Jr. it appeared, had been appointed
agent by his father in 1912 and con-
tinued to manage the fathers affairs for
him until 1917. when they had dis
agreement.
The actions arose from the question
whether during that period the son in
certain business transactions was act
ing solely as agent for his father or as
trustee under a trust created by the
elder Croker for the benefit Of his first
wife and his children. Some Of the is
sues involved have been determined in
favor for the most part of Richard
Croker. Sr. Justice McAvoy gave de-
cison last November against the son In
one case, but appointed Ashbel p. Fitch
referee to take testimony concerning
other issues.
The Tammany chief coolly left the
whole muddle in care of his attorneys
and sailed for Ireland aboard the Cedric

mate with James O'Brien. who was
then leader In the upper East Side dis
trict. O'Bnen trained him and some
time later put him up for Aldermanic
candidate. Croker won his first VIC
tory.
Tho Democratic and Republican
parties were bitter in their opposition,
but Croker proved a strong factor Tor
the Democrats and his popularity grew
by leaps and bounds. Later he gave
UP the Aldermanship to take the Job
Of Sheriff of New York, and when
John Kelly died Croker jumped into his
place and fitted well.
"rhe entire city should mourn his
loss The city never produced arother
man like him. He has dore more for
the city as an individual than any one
ever knew. AS a politician he was
one of the squarest men the party
ever had"
Last of His Race OF Bosses.
When Chauncey M. Depew was told
said:
Mr.. Croker was one OF the most
picturesque characters politics has pro-
duced in New York. He Is the last OF
HE race of political posses and condi-
tions are such that we shall not see his
like again. There will be no more
Crokers.
"Of course, knew him very well.
Often In the days when ne was boss or
Tammany Hall. and in consequence lord
of all he politically surveyed. he came
to my office. He used to lay his prob
lens before me despite the fact we were
on opposite sides OF the political fance--
sometimes the political feeling being
pfu IN
counsel as was capable of.
THE real Croker Is forgotten to-day.
For example. he used to go through
the city offices every day and woe be-
tide the shirxer or the incompetent who
came to his notice. He was an ev-
acting boss. He demanded work. hard
work and lots of Il. He was generous
In his rewards for such work. But no
wanted none of the shirker nor tn
Stacker. In those trips through political
offices he would cut off such man
from the payroll and no political power
could save him.
Executives were held to strict ac-
countability. He accepted and demanded
responsibility. with Croker there was
no such thing as shifting responsibilities.
A man stood for his own work, on his
own ffet

who he liked and trusted and who he

were always sure with Croker OF just
where you stoo with him. He had but
one face and that was turned toward

passed on. We shall see no others like
him"
