 Forgery of a mortgage is claimed by John Kleinschmidt in his defense to the foreclosure action of Morris Raffel. which was heard by Judge w. M. Maltbie in the superior court yes terday. The hearing took up the greater part of the day in the presen- tation of claims for the money left over in the settlement of the estate, which is being foreclosed on. Ii is claimed by Raffel that he loaned money to kleinschmidt to the amount of $500 and took d mortgage Of s1,- coo in return. The defendant asserts that he knew nothing of the mortgage lean and claims that one Ferdinand Firebach. representing himself to be Eleinschmidt obtained the money from Raffel. The admission has been made by the complainant that Fire bach secured the money but that the latter obtained the loan through vir- tue of delegation Of authority by kleinschmidt.
 Raffel is not alone in the suit as mechanics liens in favor or James l.. AH at, 1r1- nd Elton & Futile company for painting have also been presented. The defense admits the validity of a claim, pre- sented by Bertha Eschncr, through her attorney, Judge William J. Ma lone. Judge Epaphroditus Peck is appearing for Raffel and Judge $. Russell Mink represents MT. Murphy and the paint company. Assistant Prosecuting Attorney William N. De- rosier is defending Kleinschmidt, Both sides have introduced a wealth Of testimony in the action, which has at tracted much attention because of tho prominence of the contestants and Of the legal representation.
