Affiars Still Unsettled After Col. Wile Death
New York Aug 26 Col C C Wile’s death leaves his financial affairs unsettled and a tangle of negation from the failure of the United Wireless Telegraph Co of which Din are president to be adjusted. After incarceration the colonel testified in bankruptcy proceedings and in May produced schedules showing he spent more than a million dollars in four years. He said his wealth shrank from about a half million in 1890 to less than that, due to a gold witch and a pair of cuff links. Coronel Whisen lived regularly before his conviction, but the receiver’s search for assets has been a fruitless task.
