The character of the case was showh by letters read by the official receiver, which, the debtor said, had been sent to one of his ag ents named Ingleby by a firm of soli citors in, New York, One letter read: 'Have succeeded in opening safe of strong room by chemicals and found it to contain 100 £5 bags of gold-dust, 160 bars, and one case of diamonds, rubies, ete., 40) inches by 12 inches, by 20 inches, va lue assessed at £2.500.000. which we shall duly place to your eredit if cer tificate and registration are correct." Another letter from the samme New York firm was as follows: "On fur ther investigation of said strong room we found another case of monds, much larger than the previous one, and should judge from its ap pearance to be double the value of the other one, and also hmportant documents of property in San Fran | cisco. We trust these will be able to be placed to you if we can distinctly prove lineal descent." | A third letter ran : "We have made | another discovery in the strong room having found fifty small ingots of jgold, and every article yet found {bears a label : To my legatees solely | in conjunction with my will. There | are also interesting papers showing how this colossal fortune was amass ed, and the simplicity of the vouchers certify suspicion as to how this was accomplished."
