The receivers Of the nVestmeIlI ITusC
company of America have filed SUIT
in the district court against Byron Rob
erts to recover an amount in the neigh
borhood of 81, 200, which it is claimed
was advanced to Mr.. Roberts in oredr
to pay certain interest coupons when
they became Cue. It appears that the
company negotiated a mortgage be-
tween a Boston party and Mr. Roberts,
and on failure of Mr.. Roberts to pay
the coupons as they came due, the
money was advanced by the company
The face of the coupons amounts to
about 5000, and the interest on this
amount brings the total in the neigh
borhood of $1,000, which the company
now seeks to recover.
