Toliver an Aviator.
TOliver was at the head of the IOliver
Aerial Navigation company. organized
year or more ago. Considerable stock
was sold in San Diego. A large diTigible
balloon was constructed in a canyon ad-
joining the Toliver home.
Several months ago a flight with the
dirigible was attempted. but the expert
ment was a failure Residents in that
neighborhOOd then protested that the
gas filled bag was a menace TO the neigh
bOrhOOd and TOlver was ordered TO take
the balloon apart. he was engaged in
this work and had arranged to recon
struct the dirigible at Grosmont, several
miles outside the city limits.

Lewis Was TOhveT's Secretary
Lewis came here from San Francisco
more than a year ago to accept a posi-
ton as private secretary and chauffeur
to TOhver. Soon afterward he was sent
to San Francisco to purchase chemicals
for making the gas to be used in the
dirigible. 1t was at this time that the
troubles between Lewis and TOliver
started. it Is said. Lewis, according to
testimony given by TOliver in local
courts, instead of doing the business FOR
which he was commissioned, spent his
time purchasing wine and expensive sup
pers.
Toliver refused to pay the expense
bill Lewis filed suit to recover $500,
but got judgment for about SS4. Pre-
vious to this he had been discharged By
Toliver In the civil suit, Lewis was
separated from his wife. She went to
Mr. and Mrs. Toliver for protection, she
said. This led to Lewis filing suit
against TOliver for $4,000. alleging he
had alienated Mrs. Lewis's affections.
Reconciliation between Lewis and his
wife took place before the suit was
brought to trial.
Tt was the thought that this had
ended the trouble until the tragedy
came.
