Receiver


Mr.. c. Fraser Law was appointed perm
anent receiver Of the stock and assets of
D. Kohler by Judge FalTigant yesterday,
under the bill of Henry Brooks, and 9TH
ers against D. Kohler.
This was done after hearing before the
court which took UP the entire morning,
and while the conclusion was reached
about o'clock, the order was not signed
until the afternoon.
"A fight was made by the unsecured cred
itors under the bill of Michaels, Stern &
Co. and others, against D. Kohler and
others, TO have a receiver appointed under
their bill. Sheriff Roman had been appoint
ed temporary receiver under the Henry
Brooks bill and after the argument, the
court decided to continue the receivership
under that bill for the interest of all par
ties concerned. and the permanent re-
ceiver appointed was directed to advertise
for bids for the stock as a whole, all bids
to be sent in by Thursday morning at 10
o'clock.
Several papers of interest were filed in
the litigation yesterday, among them the
answer of D. Kohler to the Henry Brooks
bill in which he admits the legality of
all the secured claims mentioned and says
he is insolvent. Another was the an
swer of D. Kohler to the bill of the un.
secured creditors, in which he admits his
indebtedness to them, but denies that the
amounts have been stated correctly. He
denies emphatically and denounces as
false The statement that the mortgages
to the secured creditors were fraudulent-
ly made, or that he got any of the goods
in the stock by any false or fraudulent
representations.
The secured creditors, represented by the
bill of Henry Brooks and others, also
filed an answer to the bill of the unse-
cured creditors, in which they stated that
they could not speak authoritatively as
to any alleged fraudulent transactions on
the part of the defendant, but denied en-
phatically that the liens given them were
fraudulently made. They held the re-
ceiver should be appointed under the first
bill
The Third National Bank of Louisville.
KY, represented by Messrs. Garrard. Mel
drim & Newman, also filed petition de-
pendent upon that of Henry Brooks and
others, and asking for the appointment of
q permanent receiver. The only other
paper of interest was the intervention of

ing made parties plaintiff in the bill of the
unsecured creditors.
