ATTACHED BIZ A NEW HAVEN FIRM.

Mr.. J. G. Woolley of the hardware firm of
]. q. Woolley & Co. said yesterday afternoon
to Hartford Courant reporter In regard to
his insolvency that when he first perceived
he was getting into difficulties he determined
to make out an inventory. This he did and
says that his statement would have been out
in a few days. He also says that he was ap-
preached by certain creditors, who offered to
sell out their claims to him. This he refused
to do, as he had determined to treat all his
creditors alike. He also thinks he would have
pulled through all right, as he had called on
number of his creditors and they had agreed
not 10 press him. He has large stock of
skates and sleds on hand and has not been
able to dispose of them owing to the mildness
of the last two winters. Besides the petition
of Robert M. Diaz previously mentioned an
attachment had also been levied by F. s.
Bradley of New Haven.
