DcveIOpments Expected.
;nteresting hearing in the case of
,..,,nei Ensel, bankrupt, will take place
tore Referee A. II. MacDonell this af-
noon The hearing will be upon the
..;..ttons made by one of the bankrupt's
..~a5ftors TO the grant of his discharge.
THE amended objections to the dis
..,rga which induced Judge Speer again
-, refer the matter. to the referee for in
,..s,iaaiion and report, were filed in the
1-ri+ed States District Court a week ago.
,rbc objections were filed, on behalf of
Mr. I,eopold Adler, by Messrs. Twiggs &
Oliver and they set up an interesting
state OF facts, which is alleged to be the
--,s one. The averments of the obiec-
..on are supported by the oath of Mr..
Adler.
The obiector declares that the bank
,5nt in his original petition for dis
charge and in the evidence given by him
- The several meetings of his creditors
held before the referee, has failed to tell
ofbe truth the whole truth and nothing
qp+ the truth" by very wide margin.
II is charged. Furthermore, that he has
deliberately and Intentionally distorted es-
sentisl facts in regard to his income. 1t
is alleged that he failed altogether to
mention. among his sources of income, the
very considerable salary which MI Adler
saws he received as an attache of a
gambling house. The amended objections
to the discharge are as follows:
1.-THE said Samuel Ensel did, on the Sth
dav Of February, 1900, knowingly and
fraudulently make a false oath in relation
10 said proceedings in bankruptcy, in
that he did on said date file with his
voluntary petition in bankruptcy, a
schedule purporting to contain a full and
true statement of ell his debts. Said
schedule stipulated an Indebtedness due
Mace Ensel on account, in the sum of
NHE WQlGN SdlQ SCncQult W d. N0llilCo W
his oath Said oath was false, in that he
did not at said time owe Mace Ensel on
account any such considerable sum.
The affidavit charges further that Ensel
testified falsely while being examined be-
fore Referee in Bankruptcy MacDonell, in
April Of last year, at a meeting of his
creditors as to his income. He swore then
that his income was a $20-a-aweek salary,
with commissions of from s. to $40 per
month
Said testimony was false" the af-
fidavit says, lin that he was at
that time employed as an attache
and assistant in gambling house, in the
city of Savannah, where he earned fur
Their considerable amount for services rem
dered in said gambling house.
The witnesses summoned by Referee
mcdonnell to attend the hearing at his
office this afternoon are T. o. Mcbride,
Charles j. O'Den, James l.. Doss, E. L..
Ferris, A. A. Morris, ]. b. Bulcken, Cliff
ford c. Hilk julius Rosenthal, Samuel
Lyman, Mace Ensel and others.
The greater number of those summoned
as witnesses are supposed commonly to
enjoy more or less close
acquaintance with thee manner in
which the Goddess Fortune is
woodland sometimes won-in Sa-
Nannah, and where the several temples
of that tickle Jade are located. Possibly
they viii he able to give some informa-
lion as to the course of Ensers employ
ment, but If they are it is not altogether
certain that they will be willing to do so
ar that they can be forced to do so. If
any OF them should say that 20 answer
questions of counsel would result in their
terminating themselves it is not per-
ceiyed how they can be forced to an
swer.
However, it is likely enough that the
hearing will be interesting. The bank
rup only owes, according to the sched-
ules appended to his petition, 1892, and
ms acknowledged yearly income,
without considering anything he
may receive in the employment
IN which Mr. Adler says he
IS engaged, is much more than equal to
