 Names

Antonio II. Mirante of 17 Kensing- ton avenue. one Of the signers of q bond against whom Ida Horwitz and Nettie Rostein have brought suit for $1o, 900, explained to the Herald to- day that it is his father-in-la law An tonic Morello of West Pearl and Arch streets, who has gone into bankruptcy and not himself, a con- fusion having arisen due to the two name.
 Mirante also asserts that the bond for Sl0,00O which he signed for Morello contains d clause stating that the lease becomes void and in no effect in case Morello should go bankrupt Now that Morclo has gone bankrupt, according to Mirante the lease is without effect. Other wise. he says, he would have made good in this bond.
 Mirante further claims that the alleged transfer of property to his wife to avoid liability on the bond is hot core ct. asserting that his wife had been in possession of funds and property for a period of twenty years but before the time of the bond signing had advanced him cer- tain funds for the erection of houses. Upon the completion of this deal, Mirante asserts he returned his Wifc's property 10 her in good faith.
 Mirante has not figured in any bankruptcy proceedings. and wishes it to be known the Antonio men, toned in the bankruptcy action in which ne has become involved is Antonio Morello.
