ALVA RUSH, Chief of Pollc 3, City of Camden NEW YORK FAMILY PASSES AS THEY KEEP LAND INTACT WIm Word# of Grandfather V.'ondcl Prove to Br Curse to Descendants. New York.?It was 1031 and she was fabulously rich, but the little old woman lay in her severely PJ?*n coffin clad in a mid-Victorian, highnecked black silk dress, a black ribbon on her little knob of hair. Fewer than 20 persons were in the room, and they were elderly. But outside, police reserves forced staring crowds to stay across New York's famous Fifth avenue. There was a brief service of prayers and Scripture readings. So passed Ella Virginia von Echtzel Wendel, last of the eccentric Wendels. ? , Pocketed eventually by New York skyscrapers, theira were curious , lives locked for nearly a century behind the faded walls of their Fifth avenue "house of mystery" and their 50 millions of dollars of real estate wealth. I Six Wendel sisters there were, and - one brother, and all of them were, slaves to a solemn obligation laid down by their grandfather, John Gottlieb Matthias Wendel. "Buy, but never sell real estate." It was this Wendel who. at the turn of the Nineteenth century, founded the Wendel fortune on his fur business. John Gottlieb II, the brother of the six sisters, saw to it that no real estate ever was sold. Monaroh of the Household. The brother ruled the lives of his sisters like a despot. He forbade them ever to marry. So the six sisters, born between 1830 and 1850, grew up secluded in the house their father built in 1850 in Fifth avenue at Thirty-ninth street. Two of the sisters Anally rebelled. In 1899 Georgians, Afty years old at the time, tired of her hermit life and ran away to get married. But her brother found her and had her pronounced insane. She later obtained her release from Bellevue and sued John for $50,000, but the suit was settled out of court. The second revolt was more successful. Rebecca, late in life, deAed her brother and married Prof. Luther A. Swope, son of an old New York family, whom she had met at church. Thereafter even church /%?? r\4 Krvunrlc fnr thp _v*-? _? ~ ?? sisters. But one by one the Wendels passed on. And last of all, Ella. Thus Ends Family. Ella, in her latter years, still wore a shabby, black silk dress,/high buttoned shoes, black cotton stockings, a blouse, and an old - fashioned guimpe. And no matter how sunny the day, she always wore rifbbers. She apparently lavished all her woman's affection upon a long line of poodles, all named Toby. And it was because of these Tobys that the walled piece of land north of the house was called the "million dollar dog walk." It could have been sold for several millions to become the site of a skyscraper. Then, one March night in 1931 Ella died as she slept. Now Toby is gone. About all that remains of the Wendel drama are memories and money. Some 2,300 persons claimed shares in the estate as kinsmen, but | the courts ruled that only nine had a leg to stand on. They occasioned years of litigation. But even now you will And echoes of the strange story of the Wendels' mysterious life recorded in the day's news as the distribution of theif fortune, left to charities, goes on. Back-to-Nature Addicts Knock Out Four Police Kettering, England.?Six bearded members of Great Britain's strange back-to-nature colony at Laxton threw down their axes and saws and had a bare-knuckle fight with the police -on the village green. The colonists, composed of men tired of the strain of city life, knocked out four policemen and held the field until overpowered by reinforcements. A number of elm trees had been felled on the green. The villagers claimed the timber as public property and the colonists arrived from their hut encampment in the woods to collect what they thought was their share. Georgina Lady Bandon, owner of Laxton Park house nearby, had, however, claimed the trees as her property and when her workmen arrived the fight started.
