Bears the bookplate of Rosalie Wein-roberts (1895 - 1974) and a stamp above, "In Memory Of Dr. Henry J. Schireson." Henry J. Schireson "was convicted upon both counts of an indictment charging that he concealed assets from his trustee in bankruptcy and that he made a false oath with reference to his assets.Schireson filed his voluntary petition in bankruptcy on April 22, 1937 in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.In June of 1939, the Collector of Internal Revenue seized the safety deposit box of the bankrupt's wife in the Merchantville National Bank and Trust Company of Merchantville, N.J. With few exceptions the defendant's wife did not use her husband's name but was known as Rose or Rosalie Weinroberts, Wein-Roberts or Roberts. In the box was found property valued at approximately $130,000 consisting chiefly of securities, but including some cash, jewelry and policies insuring the life of the defendant for the benefit of his wife. In 1930 Schireson had transferred to Miss Roberts about $130,000 worth of securities. This transfer took place in Chicago where the parties then lived. Some years later Schireson came to Philadelphia and opened professional offices for the practice of plastic surgery. It seems that Miss Roberts has lived in Merchantville since 1935. The securities found in her safety deposit box were, for the most part, shown to have been acquired in exchange for the securities originally transferred to her by the defendant (or their proceeds), although about 20 per cent of the original securities still remained. The government's theory was that while ostensibly this property belonged to Miss Roberts, in reality it was that of the bankrupt, while the defendant contended that he had made a valid prenuptial gift of the property to Miss Roberts" [Summary, United States v. Schireson, 116 F.2d 881 (3d Cir. 1940)]. "When this project was called to the attention of Governor Frank O. Lowden, he gave it his most enthusiastic writing in a letter to the society: âI am very glad indeed that the Jewish Historical Society of Illinois proposes to publish a book entitled The Ce.
