Father and Son

Some professions descend quite commonly from father to son. This works out quite well for the public at large, as naturally the experience of the father proves invaluable and more can be gotten from his instruction than can be acquired in the usual way.

However, the profession of mortician is not one of the most pleasant in the world and, offhand, John C. Tracy, of 908, is the only man we can name in Brooklyn who has followed in his father's footsteps in this particular occupation. Mr. Tracy's father was for sixty years located at 601 Myrtle Avenue, and during that time the care and consideration which he showed as a funeral director won his universal respect. The elder Tracy is recalled by many who had occasion to do business with him, or who knew him socially, and we have yet to hear an unfavorable comment regarding him.

In the course of time, the present John Tracy took up his father's business, and his ability and tactfulness have been no less marked in the practice of a none too enjoyable profession. He has fully lived tip to his father's reputation and retained the respect which was once his. Together with his brother Jerome, he ranks among the leading men of his community.

Court News. - Accusing a Fifteen Year Old Boy of Perjury

On Application of Counselor Theo. Burgmyer, Judge Gilbert granted an alternative writ of prohibition to prevent Justice Gortum, of East New York, from issuing or executing a warrant for the arrest of Coleman Bhelms, aged 15, accused of perjury by James H. Tracy, of 1,601 Fulton Street. The offense is alleged to have been committed In the trial of the ease of Alois Lozansky against James H. Tracy, in the City Court, last November. Tracy bought horses of J, Rheims, of Clinton and Park avenue, and gave his note for $200 for two months and three days. Rheims considered the note imperfect, or unsatisfactory in some way, and sent his son Coleman with another note to Tracy drawn at three months, and a letter asking him to sign it. The son took the note back to his father signed and left the old note with Tracy. Suit was brought on this note in the City Court, and Coleman Rheims swore that Tracy signed It. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, and thereupon Tracy went to Justice Gertum, of East Now York, and preferred a charge of perjury against the lad. The writ of prohibition was returnable this morning, before Judge Cullen. Mr. F. £. Dana, of counsel for the roistor, argued that a Justice of a country’ town in Kings County had no criminal jurisdiction in the City of Brooklyn, under the law of 1850, and that it was a perversion of Justice to drag a person out to Boat New York on such a charge. Colonel John H. Bergen represented the Justice, and decision was reserved.

Consequently, Trial of Charge of Disorderly Conduct Against Landscape Artist De Wolf Was Adjourned.

The case of Landscape Artist John De Wolf of the Park Department, who Is charged with disorderly conduct by Lee McKenna, 16 years old of 1,597 Fulton street, was called up in the Gates avenue court this morning for examination. Assistant Corporation Counsel William Hughes was to appear for Mr. De Wolf, but before the case was called was taken suddenly ill and was obliged to leave. Lawyer George Alexander explained to Magistrate Worth the circumstances and requested on behalf of Mr. Hughes another adjournment. Lawyer Rufus L. Perry, who appeared for the boy, objected to an adjournment, but it was finally agreed that the case could not go on to-day and the magistrate set August 7 as the date for the examination. A full account of the circumstances of the case was published last week. It Is claimed by the parents of the boy that De Wolf caught him bathing at the foot of the concourse. Coney Island, on Sunday a week ago, pulled him out of the water roughly by the wrist and held him for twenty minutes. Mrs. Tracy, [Mrs Teresa Tracy of 21 Bainbridge street] the wife of Undertaker James Tracy of 1,882 Broadway, an aunt of the boy, also claims that Mr. De Wolf used insulting language to her, and says she intends to bring civil proceedings for $10,000 for slander.
