\ man, who is not willing to have
his name made public, but who has
been consulted since the affair be.
came public announced that the ante
nuptial agreement provides for the
transfer Of all the property of which
Robert Winthrop Chauler was pos.
scssed at the time of the execution of
the document, including that not tied
up i'm trust funds or entaied to his
heirs. The latter amounts to about
$150,000. But before Lima can get
this amount she must satisfy claims
against it amounting to 100000 being
$4,000 more than was transferred to
her.
When Chanler signed the marriage
contract he knew he was signing away
his right to the only property he had
on which he could realize quickly. 1t
became necessary for him to have
money quickly. When he went to
CGvalieri for the first time for cash
she outraged his feelings by telling
him his allowance would be $50 a
month. Three times was his monthly
allowance paid.
Then Cavalieri decided it was about
time she was getting some of the in
come from the property transferred
TO her. She had her attorneys make
inquiry on this side of the Atlantic
Then it was she realized that instead
of having been put in possession of
100000 a year she had only possible
claim to property valued at $150,000,
and that this was encountered with
mortgages and other liens amounting
to $4,000 more than it was worth.
Then the CHAMBERS chuckled. A full
investigation showed that that trans
fer was not worth the paper on which
it was written. 1t is not expected there
will be any litigation.
1t developed this afternoon that
Nine. Cavaliefi has made tentative
offer to settle with Bob" Chanler for
a trihe of one-half million dollars
which her French lawyers have told
her could be invested in France to
earn about 4 percent. This would give
Der an annual income of $4,000 in
stead of the 100000 called for in the
marriage contract. Thus Chanler
would gain $4,000 a year by the trans
action.
CaValieri, when she was married to
Chanler, believed him to be worth two
million dollars. Her friends think a
settlement of one quarter of this sum
would be reasonable.
The famous ante-nuptial agreement
was attacked today in the courts of
New York City by the tailor who out
fitted Mr.. Chanler with his wedding
clothes, his last evening suit and
twelve white waistcoats being among
the goods said to be unpaid for. Mat
thias Radn, lawyer, of 300 Broadway,
represented the claim of 1887 with in
terest, which was assigned by Will
liam Barnes, the Fifth avenue tailor in
question: for collection to George H..
Fullencamp.
AS was forecasted the attack on the
ante-nuptial agreement comes from a
creditor. Irving Minsky, who is asso-
ciated with Mr.. Radin, says that Sid
ney Harris, Mr.. Chambers personal
counsel, told him that Edward E. Per-
kns of Poughkeepsie holds $4,000
worth of claims against the former
sheriff of Duchess county.
