Bridgeton, N.J. , Oct. 22. - The suit of Mrs. Joanna Tubman against her daughter, Mrs. Dorothy Robbins, both of Dividing Creek, for possession of a cow, was tried in court today. One of the witnesses for the defense was Vincent Tubman, husband of the plaintiff and father of the defendant. Mr. and Mrs. Tubman lived together for twenty-seven years and then seperated. The hus- band sold the personal effects to his daughter, Mrs. Robbins. The wife claimed that a cow which had been sold with the rest of the property was her personal property. This was eleven years ago and the suit was concerning a calf born to the original cow. The jury found no cause for action. Family Members Parents Vincent B.
