THE B%LACKMAILER.
CHARGES AND COUNTER CHARGES IN
THE eouLD-sAGE CASE.

Attorney andrews Says George COULD
Iaunted a Thirty thousand Dollar
Bride in His Face, and Also Proposed
to Buy Mr.. Fellows.
NEW YORK, March 30. Lawyer An
drews published a long statement repeat
ing the charge that George Gould offered
money to have the Kansas Pacific suit
settled. Mr.. Jay Gould issued his reply
to this, in which he accuses Andrews Of
blackmail, and gives his evidence on that
point at length.
Mr.. Andrews says that at a meeting
with George Gould last January asked for
by the latter, and at which Congressman
Cochran was present, Gould asked what
could be done, and Andrews replied that
nothing but restitution would satisfy.
The manner of restitution did not suit
George, and he wanted to pay the costs,
so far incurred, and AVE the b~ondholders
begin a civil action. He said: II suppose
] could pay Fellows something mean
ing the district attorney. After this, An.
drews met George at the latter's house
and George, after some talk about the
suit, asked Andrews up stairs, where the
servants could not hear, and then offered
to throw a good deal of business in the
way of Andrews and his fellow lawyers,
Andrews said he could not take the cases
for Gould while this was pending. Gould
said: ~ thought $50, COO would De an in
ducement. You sec your clients would
not suffer, as they would still have their
civil suit" Mr.. Andrews refused to
listen to the suggestion. MI. Gould says
he has found that none of the foreign
bondholders were pressing the suit. An
drews wentto Europe and got the firm of
Stoupe 81 Rens 10 authorize o suit, but
when the firm got better information they
revoked the power of attorney, and after
that Andrews kept up the appearance of
the suit for blackmail purposes. He had
formerly tried to blackmail Gould by de.
mapding $50, 900 for alleged services for
the Missouri Pacific In the Marie Garri-
son cases. Mr.. Gould replied denying,
and did not hear from Andrews again,
this fact proving the fraudulent nature
OF the claim. He next heard of Andrews
in the Stoupe & Rens case and made in
quiry about him. He showed reporters
a letter just received from a responsible
man, whose name is concealed, stating
that Andrews Is a bIackmailer. Mr..
Could himself takes the responsibility of
saying that he will show Andrews to be a
swindler. He further says: Mr.. G.. A.
O'Rourke called on him as q friend of Mr..
Crouch, who was acting with Andrews,
and solicited an interview with Crouch,
but when Mr.. Gould told O,Rourke what
he knew O'Rourke agreed that it was a
clear case of blackmail, and refused to
have any more to do with it.
