A Singular Story which Cox Pronounces
Untrue.
NEW York, Aug. 31-The counsel for Chas-
tine Cox today received the following letter,
postmarked Boston, Aug. %, 1879:
ST. JAMES HOTEL, Boston.
On the night Of the Hull tragedy Cox was
met by two men at Add street park, New York
City. They were both masked. Cox had
talk with them. This was about midnight,
between - and o'clock. Cox and the two
men above mentioned took an oath never to
reveal what that conversation was or what it
had reference to. They went to the Hull
mansion. The window by which Cox entered
the Hull mansion was opened inside by those
two men, They spoke in an undertone SO that
Cox could not understand what they We're
talking about He was directed by them to
proceed to Mrs. Hull's room and get some pa
pers from a drawer or trunk, and for SO doing
would be rewarded by having their permission
to get some jewelry which was with the pa
pers. 1t is said the papers are now in the pos
session of a man who at first was suspected OF
being the perpetrator of the tragedy. He
wanted to get those papers because he had
heard Mrs. Hull remark something about
making will which would be unfavorable to
him, and he wanted to get them without doing
her any bodily injury, and none was intended.
The reason I write this l was promised $3.50
from the old man, but only received 800 from
him. l keep my name secret because [ don't
want to get into any trouble over this affair.
Cox did not get the papers, but after he went
away others got them.
The letter was delivered to Cox this after
noon, and he said there was not a word of
truth in IT,

Insurance Company of this city have been
written recently at Bradford, Penn, and per-
hans other places in the east. There is no such
company here now nor has there been since
1875, when it closed business, called in and
cancelled all its policies and wound up its af-
fairs. The blanks on which the policies were
recently issued are genuine, however, and it is
thought they were obtained surreptitiously be-
fore the company closed business, and are now
being used to defraud and swindle unsuspect-
