Justice Stafford Refuses to
Name Receiver for

Justice Stafford of the District Su-
prefne Court today declined to ap-
point a receiver for the Chastleton
apartments. At 18th and r streets, At
the request of Mrs. Jessie Ban
du Pont OF Wilmington, Del. who
seeks to rescind the purchase by her
last February Of the property from
Felix Lake.
He. however, granted Q temporary
injunction against the Potomac Cor
poration, which holds title to 2.1o0
acres of gold-mining property near
Great Falls, Nd, which figured as
part consideration of the Chastleton.
which sold for ss.0oo.o00. The injunc-
ton prevents the disposal Of that
property until further order OF the
court.
Charge CoaAfssSSn Divided.
Attorneys Douglas. Obear & Doug
Pont contended for the appointment
Of a receiver and charged that =
lawyer OF Wilmington, representing
Mrs. du Pont. had received q portion
Of the $4,000 paid by Mr.. Lake as
commission to w. E. Fowler 4 Co.
was claimed that as Fowler was
Lakes agent and that il he bribed
the attorney for Mrs. du Pont. then
such act was the act Of Lake and the
contract OF sale made under such con-
ditions could be rescinded by Mrs.
du oPnt.
Attorney ". Gwynn Gardiner. for
Mr.. Lake. denied that he had made
any Misrepresentation to Mrs. ou
Pont or to her attorney in Whining
ton. and said he had never seen either
of them. He also denied that Fowler
was the agent of Lake. but regarded
him as the agent OF the buyer, al
though he admitted paying him the
Commission after Mrs. du Pont had
written that she would not pay a
commission. He had no knowledge
of any division Of the commission. it
was stated.
Ne Equity Alleged.
Mr.. Gardiner contended the court
should not appoint a receiver. since
it was admitted by the plaintiffs that
the property is not worth more than
the total Of the encumbrances-abou
$2.500,000. and therefore there was no
equity for a receiver to hold.
Robert H. McNeill, who represented
the association of the tenants of the
Chastleton at a recent hearing before
the rent commission, was present in
court today. He said the tenants are
interested in the outcome of the peti.
