firm of John j. Cisco and the most con-
versant of any one with its business, TO as
sist him at the rate of $4,000 a year, and
that lie had done other wrongful acts Of
less Importance.
She filed these objections Jan. IA, 1887,
and got the case reopened by the supreme
court. after Mr.. Kelley had made his report.
Mr. Kelley thereupon went to work again,
and nice time he and the lawyers, includ-
ing Mrs. Green's own lawyer, Nelson Smith,
have had of it. Mrs. Green attended every
hearing Of Importance, and took an active
hand in the fray from beginning to the end,
when Mr.. Smith wrote a letter to Mr..
Kelley withdrawing all her charges
and completely generating Mr.. May.
She had delayed the closing up OF the
estate and kept people waiting for their
money for q year and a half upon per
fectly unfounded whim, which she was
obliged herself to confess was unfounded.
Mr.. Kelley accordingly made new report
to the supreme court, which was filed in the
county clerks office few days ago. He
finds that Mr.. May, as assignee, has prop
erly received So, los, 315 43; that he hos
properly paid out SO, 053, 86l SO, and that he
has on hand S41 ,9SG %. Some time during
this week Mr.. Keiley's reports will be con-
f1rmed by the supreme court and Mr.. May
will see the end of his long labors.
During the hearings before Mr.. Kelley
Mrs. Green thought nothing Of making her
lawyer sit down and keep still while she
examined the witnesses. She was a good
deal disturbed by Mr. Mays account of the
way in which he and Mr.. Dos Passos over
reached her and got her to disgorge tae
money to redeem her husbands securities
and to get her own out of the banking
house. Mr. May acknowledged that the
claim against her was of very doubtful
validity, and he said that getting the money
out of her was one of the greatest things
ever accomplished in the city of New York,
and l was daily complimented for it." Mr..
Dos Passes charged So, 900 for the job and
the assignee paid it. AS soon as Mr.. Cisco
got upon the stand she went for him like
tigress and nobody could hold her. Some
of her questions were 80 vulgar that Mr.
Kelley, as soon as he could "get word in
edgewise, struck them out; but here are a
few specimens from the stenographer's
minutes:
Mrs Green-May I ask few questionsa
When your father was writing to rue did he
ever say to you that he was writing me!
Here are these letters where he says none of
my money will be used in anything. Yet
Mr.. Green was using it all the time. And
then when you thought had begun to look
Into my affairs, in 1882, you sent man up
to walk around SO as to scare me so
wouldn't be able to drive out. Then did
you think, when you had a sham failure
and sham assignment and a sham law
suits
Mr. Smith (her counseD-Mrs. Green!
Mr.. Hull tMr. Cisco's counseD-I object
to counsel interrupting.
Mrs. Green-When you and Foote rode
up together, according to your own testi-
mOny, and got Dos Passos to make an at
tack on me the next day, didn't you expect
to put me out of the way as they did my
fathers Did you think had tendency to
heart disease, and you would put me out of
the way and get all the money! desperate
but unsuccessful effort on the part of every
body to stop her.l l am only asking him If
this was a nice little game, because the
people in the country said my life wasn't
worth it. l only want to give him an idea
of that.
Mr. Hull-Now, if you will answer
Witness-All | can say is, that l have no
knowledge of any of the circumstances
Mrs. Green speaks of.
Mrs. Green-I didn't know but your
father might have communicated with you
about it. Because there seems to be a great
deal Of lodging around. l thought would
lust like to know whether this was a little
game got up | would like to ask you why
you kept your assignment quiet, so that
nobody would ma III OUT unJll you BOb Tue
assignment recorded, as you said in your
other testimony. Was you afraid some
body would go and carry the things for youl
Mr. Smith-Let him answer whether he
has any knowledge respecting that matter
Witness-I have no knowledge except
that we acted under advice OF our counsel,
Dos Passos, in all matters in regard to the
assignment.
Mrs. Greenland he wanted you to fail
in the interest of the same road he was in
terested in so that you could get a lot of
good bonds out.
Mr.. Hull-Now, we have had enough of
this.
Mrs. Green-I only want to ask him why
he didn't let me carry the things instead.
was willing to carry them at per cent,
and the Park bank and Chemical bank and
all the creditors would be paid in full. Why
did Foote write me this letter saying that
everything was all right and they would all
be paid in full when, according to the
sworn accounts, they were not even solvent

Mrs. Green is very devout woman in
her professions. She often remarked dur
ing the hearings before Mr.. Kelley: II come
of good old Quaker blood. All care for is to
do right. Then am sure to go to heaven"
