of a tie with Rittmeister Van Holt
zing recently in the grand military
steeplechase at Berlin for the EN-

on which a Hohenzollern so near the

before him was permitted to stand

FINANCES, SALTED MINES
AND DOMESTIC TROUBLE
CeciIe Dolon Tells in Court an Inter
esting Story of Her Changing
Fortunes

In Judge Seawells court yesterday
was commenced the hearing Of the
suit wherein Cecile Dolon. a mas
suese at the Lurline Baths. attempts
to obtain from W. H. Chickering, a
the property at 127 Olive street,
where she has resided for many
years.
\ Her testimony developed a rather
remarkable story of domestic and
financial troubles. She owned prop
erty at 826 Ellis street, extending
through to Olive. and it was worth
several thousand dollars. She mort
gagged it for $4,000, and after getting
into debt she decided the holding TO
w. II. Chickering. who Cancelled her
obligation of $500 to him and as
sumed the mortgage. She contends
that it was agreed that a clause Civ
ing her a life interest in her home
should be inserted in the deed.
Mrs. DOlon is of French and negro
extraction. and in 1875 married
white man named Edgerly. who. she
said, was the confidential clerk of a
mining man named McDermott- Nc
DeFaott and Edgerly. were accused Of
saiting the Pleasant Valley mine for
purposes of fraudulent sale. She was
in possession of a letter from Nc
Dermott to EdgerIy regarding the af-
fair. and Mr.. Chiekering, who was
engaged in the litigation, called on
her for a Photographic copy of the
letter and received il. Edgerly was
arrested and she and Chickering went
on. his bond, obtaining his release from
Jail. Edgerly fed TO Honolulu and
the bonds were forfeited. Later Ed
gerly was induced to return and the
case was dismissed.
She said that Edgerly had put her
deeply in debt and she found that he
was a mean man" Then she took
advantage of the negro in her veins
and used it as an excuse to secure an
annullment of her marriage. In
what year she did this she does not
remember. Her finances were in
bad shape and she borrowed from
Mr.. Chickering in small sums until
she owed him about $500. She made
her will in his favor and later trans
ferred the property as stated.
