The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1900-06-27

Rinsland; the bookkeeper at the brass
works told that Everhart had repeat
edly spoken to him of having a snap"
and left 1t to be inferred that Mrs.
Rinsland was associated with 1t. Mrs.
Rinsland's parents also told Of having
heard of their daughters intimacy
with Everhart and OF their having
warned her against unfaithfulness to
her husband. They have in their pos
session, or had until they turned it
over to Vosburg & Dawson, the attor-
neys for Mrs. Rinsland, letter from
their daughter, telling them not to
worry about the divorce case as Ever
hart was going to marry her and in
stall her in his fathers house, where
she was to become housekeper for the
doctor and Ed, wear the Everhart dia-
monds and eventually share with Ed
in the Everhart estate.
Attorney I. II. Burns, contrary to
expectations, was on hand to look after
the defense. When the Everhart ar
rest was made known last Friday a
hearing in the trespass case was on
and at Mr.. Burns suggestion 1t was
continued until yesterday. He said
he didn't see much use in further de-
Tending the case and supposed Rinsland
would be allowed to get judgment by
default. Mr.. Burns, however, ap-
peared yesterday, and cross-eXamned
the witnesses quite as searchingly as
he did at the previous hearings, en-
deavoring to bring out that the Rims
land family, husband wife and sister,
conspired to entrap Everhart and
badger" him out of a good portion of
his money.
The hearing was continued at noon
until next Tuesday.
An authoritative statement was last
night given The Tribune for publica-
ton, to the effect that DR.. Everhart
does not encourage or countenance the
steps that are being taken to provide
his son with bondsman, and the al
legation is made that these stories
were fathered with the end in view Of
influencing some friend of the Ever
hart family to think that he will be
doing the father a favor to go bail for
the son.
1t was hoped that this statement
would set all such stories at rest.
FROM WEST CHESTER.
The following was printed in The
Philadelphia Inquirer yesterday as a
special dispatch from West Chester:
Edwin L. Everhart, who is in prison
at Scranton m the charge of plotting
the murder of his father, DR.. I. r.
Everhart is the only direct heir to
property in this place valued at nearly
one million dollars. The Everhart es-
tate is probably the most valuable in
West Chester. In time, if not claimed
by young Everhart or his father, all
this property will revert to the state
of Pennsylvania.
THE Everharts in this place are
Benjamin f. and DR.. John R., brothers
of the late Congressman James b.
Everhart and first cousins of DR.. Ed
win E. Everhart. They are both un-
married and their nearest relatives are
the Everharts in Scranton.
"William Everhart, the father Of the
Everhart family of this place, left a
will by which the latter became joint
owners in his vast estate in case they
did not marry, but if they did so they
lose their interest 1t was also pro-
vided that they cannot will the prop
erty to any person, and upon their
deaths it would naturally revert either
to DR.. l. F. Everhart or his son Ed
win E., although it seemed to be the
wish of William Everhart that it
should go to the state upon the death
of his children"
