In making his applica- tion Coulter states that his wife, aged 73. was now in the institution, having been sent there from the City and County Hox- pital. Coulter said that his wife had induced | hi:n to sign over their property at 256 and 258 Dore street to thelr two sqns, Willian: and James, and after the latfer acquired the property they had no more use for their aged parents. The old man says that one of the sons lives In the lower flat and the upper rents for $22 per month.
