DE HAVEN ORDERS
A RECEIVER
SINNERS Wins First Blood
in Suit for His Share of
the Mohawk Mine Lease
BOND TO BE GIVEN

lease of the Mohawk mine in Gold
field, New, formed the bone of con-
tention in q case decided yesterday
morning by United States Dis
trict Judge de Haven, sitting as
Judge of the United States Cir
cult Court of Nevada The action
was bill in equity. entitled George
SINNERS VS.. NJ. ]. Monnette and Others
for the appointment of a receiver.
Monnette and associates own a one
quarter lease of the Mohawk, and Sim
mers claims a half interest in their in
terest, or one-eighth interest in the
lease. 1t was conceded by all parties
that since July 1 of this year the Mo-
hawk had been producing $4,000 per
day Judge de Haven granted the mo-
ton for the appointment of a receiver,
unless Monnette should file a bond for
$4,000.
Judge de Haven, in granting the
order. said that the plaintiff had made
out his case sufficiently to justify the
appointment of a receiver for one
quarter OF the net proceeds OF the
mine during the remainder of the term
OF the lease, which will expire on
January 10 next. The power of the re-
ceiver. however, will not extend to
taking possession or or interfering
with the management or working of
the mine, but will be limited, because
there is no charge in the bill that the
mine is being improvidently managed.
The court was convinced that Monnette
was solvent. and he thought that a
bond Of $4,000 would amply secure
SINNERS for the payment OF any judg-
ment that he may succeed in obtaining
in the case.
The bond will be filed at 10 o'clock
this morning.
SINNERS expects to receive 1925 per
day as his share of the lease from the
date OF the suit to January 10 of next
year, about 40 days, or $4,000.

perfect treaty with Venezuela for the

Southern American governments concern
ing the navigation OF rivers flowing
through the two countries and concerning

20 Colombia rs regarded by some of the
diplomats here as one she cannot well

20 know just why the Castro government
expected the treaty 10 be perfected and
signed II the Venezuelans refused 10 re-
ceive the man empowered to act for Co
lombia. and there is much discussion OF
the unusual situation.
Mr Mendoza, the Colombian minister is
in New York, where ne has been Tor sew

no advices concerning the sudden break

tions between Colombia and Venezuela.

MORE LIGHT ON
MYSTERYOF DEATH
Of MRS. CHASE

Lynn. May 3.--The evidence in con-
nection with the mysterious death of
Mrs. Jennie Phillips Chase, at the
home of her husband, DIR. Horace Chase.
at Swampscott last September, which
has been the subject OF an investigation
by District Attorney Peters, was
placed In the hands OF Judge Berry
In the local police court today and his
decision, which will be made public
in few days. will determine whether
or not there will be a criminal prose-
cution in connection with the death.
The death OF Mrs. Chase and the
subsequent contest for her property
following the death OF her adopted
son, who was her heir. has occupied the
attention OF the various county and
town authorities for nearly year.
When Mrs. Chase was found uncon-
scious in the kitchen of her home on
September 13, 1906. II was generally
believed that she had attempted to COM
init suicide. and when the woman died
few days afterward, Medical Exam
iner Pinckney gave verdict OF sui
eide by gas poisoning.
A few days after the funeral. how
ever, District Attorney Peters ordered
the body exhumed for the purpose of
performing an autopsy
As a result OF that autopsy an inquest
was ordered, one OF the features OF which
was the testimony OF Professor Whitney
OF Harvard university. who stated that
an examination OF Mrs. Chase's stomach
showed unmistakable traces Of arsenical
poisoning
BY the provisions of her fathers will,
from which she inherited her fortune,
Mrs. Chase could not leave her estate TO
her husband, but about year before her
death she adopted De Forest Woodruff
Chase, a son of her husband by former
marriage, and to him she left a fortune
estimated TO be- worth $l50OOO0.
Young Chase died few months after
he inherited the fortune which then re-
verted to Dr. Chase. Several OF Mrs
Chase's brothers and a sister fought the
will in the probate court at Salem. the
allegation being made that DIR. Chase
secured the fortune by fraud and In
violation OF the provision OF Mr.. Phillips,
Sr.
The court ruled in favor OF the Phillips
family and DR. Chase Immediately took
an appeal TO the supreme judicial court,
where the case is now pending. During
the probate hearing some sensational tes-
timony was introduced several Of the
witnesses testifying that Mrs Chase lived
In fear OF her husband. and many Of them
testified that Mrs Chase frequently made
the statement that she had been COM
PEELED 10 adopt young Chase.
