GHOST IN A TENEMENT
NOVEL BERLIN CASE LANDLORD’S PREDICAMENT (Elec. To). Copyright—United Pross Assn.) BERLIN, Nov. 21. An interesting question of whether a tenant has the right to keep family ghosts, is at present before the Berlin civic court. The ghost of the uncle of an 11-year-old girl, Luzie llegulski, is causing so much trouble in her father's Hat, situated in a big tenement building, that the neighbors have complained to the landlord, who is seeking an order for the family's eviction. The uncle’s appearances are heralded by loud noises, scratching.?, and knocking.? on the walls and door, while tables and chairs jump about the room. The landlord claims that the noisy ghost has prejudiced the market value oi' his tenement, and declares that the whole ghostly business is a fraud. Failing this, he advances the alternative plea that tenants accompanied by family ghosts, should state the fact before signing the lease. The case is arousing considerable newspaper interest, while the German Psychical Society is also investigating.
