court again today with his guardian,

Castle"
Heirs of the late Charles Zerkow-

mortgage foreclosure, of the crum-

through once imposing rooms and
nibble stuffings from the furniture.
Mr.. Dana, one of whose paternal
forbears founded the New York Sun,
contends the document was signed

of Confederate general, who was
named his guardian after an insan-

diction proceedings were improper,
