DIR. A. Jaeger's troubles seem to be end
less. Sometime ago Rev. c. Il. Wilmer
employed a lawyer 10 bring suit against
the Lynchburg Colored orphan Asylum
OF which Dr. Jaeger was superintendent,
for unpaid salary, and money advanced.
DR. Jaeger. however, purchased the
asylum, and the suit could not be
brought
Now suit has been instituted by Mr..
winners lawyer against the old Board
of Trustee to have the deed set aside.
DR.. Jaeger, It Will be remembered, pur-
chased the asylum with money secured
by leasing a brick plant on the place.
