who has been called on to act in the case.
Three years ago a merchant in Holland,
named De Vyver. died. leaving a fortune Of
100000 to his sole heir, Ann Cornelia De
Vyver, weak-minded daughter. He named
z. G. Molenaar. his personal friend. and a
banker. whose name was not given to the
sheriff. as his executors and the young
woman's guardian. The banker, having
much business on his hands, left Miss De
Vyver and her fortune to the care Of Mole
naar, until one day a bond presented at his
banking house for sale was recognized by
him as one Of the De Vyver securities He
at once asked the courts to remove Mole
naar as the girls guardian, but before ac-
ton could be taken Molenaar quieted his
suspicious and induced him to visit the
worlds fair In company with himself and
Mrs. Molenaar and four children, Miss De
Vyver and q nurse.
When the party was ready to return to
Holland, Molenaar induced the banker to
go home alone as he and his family wished
to visit friends in Holland City. Mich.
The banker consented to this, but when
he got home he found that the courts had
removed Molenaar and that all the De
Vyver securities were missing. Molenaar
had taken them to America. "a"
The Dutch consul at New York was asked
to hunt up Molenaar II possible and found
that after leaving Holland, Mich, he had
gone to Jersey City, where he had rented
a house at 1877 Clerk street.
1t was then that Sheriff Toffey was called
in. He opened Molenaars safe, but 1t was
empty. Mrs. Molenaar said she did not
know where her husband was as he had
gone away a month ago. Sheriff Toffey as
certained that he had gone to Canada,
taking $7O.OOO Of the De Vyver securities
with him. An effort will be made to secure

FIERCE FIGHT AMONG THREE.
Brothers Engage in Quarrel Over
Money.

While all the bend was running to a fire
In Chinatown, New York, yesterday after
noon three brothers locked in a room at ~
Mulberry street settled a bloody feud.
One of them shot and MORALLY wounded
the two others. He was Andrea De!sarte
of 81 Mulberry street. His two brothers
are Luigi and Gaotano. Their home was at
No. 20. The three met there to settle an
old quarrel They were together in the
room more than an hour.
Andrea came forth alone. Locking the
door and looking wildly about he ran down
the street and was lost in the crowd. Means
from the brothers room attracted atten-
ton, and the door was burst in. Both lay
on the floor writhing. Luigi was shot
through the head, his brother through
the breast.
The police were called and both men were
carried on stretchers to the Elizabeth street
police station. An ambulance came from
the Chambers Street Hospital, and when
they had ban jagged their wounds they took
them away. 1t was impossible to probe
for the bullets. but both had done their
work. The detectives of the precinct were
sent upon the track Of the fugitive but he
has not yet been arrested. The police learned
later that the three quarreled about money
Andrea, it is said. had money in bank His
brothers charged that he was crazy. They
wanted to get the money away from him
lest he waste it.
