James McGrath, • railroad worker, who occupies the first floor of the now rickety frame house and uses the former studio for a kitchen, uncovered the paintings several years ago. Having no Idea of their origin or their value be covered them over and per baps obliterated them forever with lead paint and wall paper. McGrath, who has lived with his family In the old Audubot hquse for seventeen years, cheerfully admitted that he bad painted out the scores of bird pictures and sketches which had adorned his kitchen walls. Calls Them Right Pretty. "Sure," he said, "I remember them .well. Soon after we moved here I took off the dirty old wall paper tn the kitchen--several layers of U--and underneath on the plaster were all kinds of bird pictures. Every sort of bird I ever saw and a whole lot I never saw, painted In all kinds of colors. There was a whole bunch of them and a bowl of fruit painted right there over the sink. They were right pretty. "About two years ago, though, 1 got tired of looking at them, so I got a can of good lead paint with a little linseed mixed In and put a nice coat of paint all over the walls. A Tittle later I got tired of the paint and put up that green wall paper. Those birds are dead now all right--flown away for good." Alexander A. Kelly, an expert on the restoration of paintings, made an examination of the walls of the studio 8 few days ago. From such study of the plaster as he could make, where the wall paper was peeled or abraded, he concluded that the paint used by McGrath had aged to such a point that Its renroval might at the same time remove or defnee the paintings beneath. Whether any recovery or restoration is possible cannot be learned without a thorough examination. Reginald Bolton Pelhnm, whose grandfather was a close friend of Audubon, and who himself Is a historian and an authority on Audubon's life, Was questioned about the paintings. "McGrath's statement checks exactly with what I have heard from my grandfather and with rumors which from time to time have come to me," Mr. Bolton said. "Audubon was fond, my grandfather said, of covering the walls of his studio with bird sketches, often as well executed as his best work. Ajid I have heard that at the time of his death, through some unpardonable oversight, these sketches were papered over. "I have often thought of trying to confirm the report, but have been onable to obtain further Information. McGrath's own statement tn the matter seems conclusive. If the pictures "cannot be restored it Is a tragedy." Mansion to Be Destroyed. The memory of Audubon Is revered by thousands of bird lovers and naturalists throughout this country and abroad. The Audubon societies, the Junior department of which alone is said to have several hundred thousand members, was organized In his honor In 1886. His drawings of birds In a complete series of life-sized colored figures, published In his "Birds In America" In 1838, marked an epoch In ornithology. Original copies of this work, In good condition, bring today thousands of dollars. The Audubon mansion, nearly a century old. Is doomed to destruction within a few months by the straightening of Riverside drive at One Hundred and Fifty-seventh street. Audubon park and "Garage Village" will be eliminated, and a series of modern apartment houses will rise upon the site. snnro OROVS Mr. and - Mrs. Martin Freund of Volo were callers here Friday.

Justice of King's Bench Ranks High in Dignity London.--There are few positions of greater dignity in England than that of justice of the king's bench. When on circuit the justice Is treated with the ceremony usually accorded to royalty. He Is deemed the first man In the county, and the bells of the circuit tower ring and a bugle announces the opening of his assize court. Yet the Justice's salary has been at the same figure for nearly two centuries. When It was first set In the Eighteenth century at £5,000 a year, It was deemed a princely recompense, but with the decrease In the value of money and the present British Income tax It Is considered not so generous.
