THAT HAVEN ‘MYSTERY’
When Herbert Haven quitted
this life March 26 last, he left his
financial affaire in a bad mess. He
had always borne the reputation of
being a man of considerable means:
so when his widow announced that
she was penniless—that all of Ha
ven’s suppositious thousands had
taken wing—public opinion got
quite a shock. Many theories were
advanced, and for once the Ram
part “rubber” had a hard nut to
crack.
Now, Charles Birchler, adminis
trator of the estate, states his opin
ion that the chaotic condition in
which Mr. Haven left his affairs is
the result of deliberate intention.
A box supposed to contain treasure
and deposited by him in the N. C.
Co.'s safe during his lifetime, when
opened in the presence of John
Duncan, J. B. Wingate, Mrs. Ha
ven and Mrs. Hall, was found to
! contain nails.
: A large roll of bills exhibited .
: freely by the deceased for a few
weeks prior to his death, and which
was said could noj be found after
: his death, now turns out to be a
big roll of $i bills and in the
widow’s hands from the time of his
death until they were paid over to
the administrator a short time ago.
The whole matter to date has
t
been slightty clouded in intended
i
mystery by interested parties,
whose interests go so far as to even
raise the hue and cry of “stop
thief,’’ hoping that while the sup
positious thief is being chased the
real culprit, if there be one, can beat
a quick retreat.
