HIS BROTHER'S WIFE
Sensational Charges Mark Open
ing of $100,000 Suit at
Toms River
TOMB lUVCrt. X J.. Dec 13 8ensa
ttonal charges marked tha opening here of
tho 1100,000 eult brought by Howard I
Davis, of New Kgypt, against his brother,
Malcolm I Davis, of Philadelphia, for
nlleged alienation of Howard's wife, Mrs
Clara J. Davis.
Counsel for Malcolm termed Upward the
"black Bleep" of the family and oxplalned
that hli Jealousy was aroused when Mal
colm took measures to protect his Hlstcr-ln-law
from cruelty and neglect.
The plaintiff charges that an attempt to
get possession of his father's estate Is back
of tho trouble Mrs Clam Davit was a
nurso in a Philadelphia hospital when How
ard Davis, married her aftet' a brief court
Ship. Malcolm Davis, on the stand, testified
that In caring for his Rtster-ln-law ha was
simply acting as tho agent of his mother,
Mr. Kate Irwin Davis, of 11 South Thirty
eighth street, Philadelphia. He denied that
hs had attempted to estrange Howard nnd
hla wife.
Malcolm said emphatically that there
could have been no alienation of affection
In this case since Howard's behavior had
been such as to kill any love or affection
which his wife had for him.

Lester Player Piano
Becatme the materials entering into tho construction of all these instruments arc positively tho
very best that diEcriminating experience and a reputation for cash payments can pro
cure in the world's markets.
Because the craftsmanship in every instrument is of tho highest grade humanly possiblethe
kind you could never obtain in the ordinary piano.
Because tho tone, tho action, tho finish all represent the highest skill and greatest care, which,
taken in conjunction with tho two foregoing reasons, spells durability.
Notwithstanding their great mperiority, which i$ generally qdmitted, it is as easyJo
own a Lester as one of the many Inferior makes because they are sold direct, eliminating all
jabbers' and agents' profits. We will gladly show yoi how conveniently you can make this
your happiest Christmas, let this year's savings put a Lester Into YOUR home,
