MIR. AMBLER,s GAS PATENT.

lie Sues Il. w. whipplo aud n. >.
Diokerson to Recover His Interest
in the Invention.
A bill has been filed In tho United
States circuit court of Chicago by Angus
tin j. Ambler, Of this city, against Rod
ney NJ. Whipplo and Thomss 8. Dicker-
son. Amber claims that in 1869 no and
Whipple we're engaged on souio paten Is
for making gas from petroleum. and pro-
cured joint patent in July Of thAt year.
In August whipple seized the invention
and apparatus, and excluded Amber from
all further control Of tho shops or busi-
ness. lie shortly after invited Thomas 8.
Diokerson. OF Chicago, to Washington,
and Diokorson soon after obtained a
patent for tho samo devices covered by
| the patent issued 10 Whipple and Amber.
The patent was very valuable. aud before
| long rights to the amount of 8lOOOOu
we're sold. Amber, In the following jan
uary, filed bill for account against
| Whipplo and Dickerson, charging them
with fraud. He was defeated in
tho supreme court Of tho District
OF Columbia, but was victorious in
nm appeal to tho Supreme Court OF the
United States. After an accounting
Amber obtained a decree in 1875 for
S677, ,A34. as well rs for 1,375 shares of
stock in the National Gas and Iron Com
pany, this decree being still in force. In
ISL the defendants disposed Of all their
property, and left Washington noyor to
return, so that the decree was never
satisfied. II was shown on the trial that
sales of rights aud licenses to the amount
Of $7,500000 were made, and II was
chiefly on this evidence that Amber OBJ
tained this decree. Owing to tho fact
that the defendants refused to be present
to be examined Amber thinks that his
decree was too small. He now wants a
now accounting, an injunction to restrain
the defendants from disposing OF their
property, and the appointment of q re-
ceiver.
