Rufus Hatch said there were some portions
of Twins evidence that the members OF the
Committee and some of the stockholders would
concede. All the directors of the company
would admit that $750,00O were taken out Oh
the treasury of the company about May 18th,
1872 :.
Mr.. Niblack objected to this summing up of
the case by Mr.. Hatch, and Mr. Burchard, the
chairman, instructed Mr.. Hatch that they were
to take testimony not statements.
Mr.. Hatch expressed a desire TO introduce
testimony. frwin's intention in coming from
Europe here was to break up this company, and
for this purpose he wished that Mr.. johnson
and MIR. Charles p. Palmer be examined before
the committee. The other witnesses he would
like summoned were Messrs. Marsterston,
Kingsland. G. j. Arthur, Henry Clews, MIR.

files of letters to be searched in the Paclhc

The Late Gerrit Smith.
A large number of callers visited the remains
of Hon. Gerrit Smith to-day. Mr.. y. Adams,
on the part of the Cubans in this city, present

Jim Fisk's Estate.
The account of Mrs. Lucy d. Fisk as execu-
trix of the estate of the late james Fisk, Jr,
has been presented to Willard Bartlett, the
auditor appointed by the Surrogate to examine
the vouchers and accounts showing the DISPOSE
ton of the property. The statement presented
by Mrs Fisk shows an apparent deficiency OF
Sl7S, 800 IS; that is to say, ii certain suits re-
suit adversely, as the Mansfield suit did few
days ago, the estate will be $17S,50O 80 worse
than nothing. The inventory of the properly
was made by appraisers and its value de. s,
mined in round numbers at $lOO0,O00 The
LAWYERS fees, losses on stocks, and claims pro-
sented and allowed amounted to $5O0,00 Just
one half of the appraised value OF the estate;
Resides these, claims have been presented and
are in suit, which if allowed would bankrupt
the estate. An examination OF the blllS pald
by Mrs. Fisk reveals the fact that nearly al
ordinary legitimate claims against MI. flsk
have been settled and those remaining are TOR
unsettled stock transactions, which there is no
doubt must ultimately be compromised: The
watch and jewelry of Fisk art valued at 50, 900.
