Individual Notes
• The Slaven brothers had a contract in 1885 for the dredging of the Panama Canal. A stock company was formed, and out of 20,000 shares the firm retained 11,000. The dividends paid on the stock from 1885 to 1888 amounted to $3,000,000. Moses Slaven was in Panama most of the time watching the business, and his daughter claimed that her father, fearing that he might contract fever and die, entered into an agreement with his brother than in the event of his death he would divide his interest in the business between his wife and daughter Eva. The alleged agreement was not reduced to writing. Moses Slaven died in 1886. He made a will appointing his brother his executor and leaving all his property to the widow.5338
