This action Is brought TO recover

controversy as to the liability Of
Hurlbut for the amount claimed in

way liable for the debt. This 10 the

partner. The proof shows that at
that time there was an agreement
entered into between said partners
to dissolve said partnership, that an

chaser OF all Nelson's interest and

II was the duty Of the assignee to

that this IL too short time In which

Broadway, near Union Square, was
accosted bya Ratchet faced young
man, who introduced himself as a
son of Drexel the banker. Wilde
was delighted, and the two went
into a restaurant. Mr.. DrexeI ate as
though hungry. Wilde remem-
bered this and not with an aesthetic
smile when later in the
day on being Uniformed by

was HUNGRY JOe," a noted bunko
steerer. Then followed the old
winning lottery ticket scheme.
First it was $50, then 500. until he,
becoming excited over the game,
played till he lost 81, 1850. He signed
a check on the Madison Square
Bank for the amount, rushed into
the street, jumped into a cab, drove
