Post. and it is a sensational one. brought
as it is. by wealthy widow of New York

Judge Hallett heard this morning the

years of age, widowed and a resident of
New York. Mr.. Caryl. she alleges. as
and Supply company, visited her in New
York with representations that not only
could he double any money invested in
the new field, but could make the fortune
Of anyone trusting to the future OF the

knew nothing OF mining and advanced
him. first. $4,000. and then from time to
