Twenty -frst-st., and at the home of Edward NJ.
Field next door, seemed to know where the
insane broker was being cared for. DIR. Llndley
admitted that he was daily informed of Edward
Fields condition. but denied that he knew where
the patient was being treated.
II heard from the insanity experts S,oI,t who at
case" said DR.. Lindey yesterday, "and
l learned from them that there had
not been any change in his condition lie was
neither better nor worse But l am not in
possession Of the address Of the house or of the
place where Mr.. Field is receiving medical treat
ment regret that cannot give that informa-
ton to anybody desiring it, but | cannot; my
tongue is tied. But / am certain he is not an
isnate of Bloomingdale Asylum"
Is he in some private asylum ?" the doctor was
THAT I do not know The insanity experts
no doubt have selected some quiet place, but
whether it is private asylum or not do not
know"
" Has he been taken from the city since the
warrants were issued ?'
HE Is STILL IN THE CITY.
"No, he has not. l can say positively that he
has not been taken from the city. lie is still in
New-Yorz in a quiet place uptown. That much
/ do know, and | hear of his condition when the
specialists deem it necessary TO inform me.
THE last time saw Edward Feld-I will not
say when that was, but it not more than a
day or two ago-he acted most peculiarly lt
was heartrending TO hear him talk about tho most
trivial things. At the house where he was taken
watchful care he has taken of the little creature
is most touching. The kitten had been taken
from it's mother before it was old enough 10 care
for itself, and it fell into his hands Just in time
TO receive nourishment to keep it alive. The
little thing was almost starved when he found II.
But he no sooner discovered the kittens condition
than he ordered his nurse 10 warm some milk FOR
him, and with a spoon he fed the little creature.
His tender treatment of this kitten shows what a
gOod-hearted man he is. He is so tender-heartcd
that he cannot bear to see anybody or anything
suffer, and | cannot believe that Edward NJ Field
knowingly engaged in any business transaction
that would result in causing others to suffer If
he has taken part in any shady deals, then he was
not awaI> Of what he was doing, and can testify
that for weeks he has not been in sound mental
condition The last word received from 1h, the in in
sanity experts who are treating Edward Field in
formed me that he was not in condition to as
sist in untangling the muddled condition Of the
firms business. He does not talk of his business
affairs and does not seem to understand that any
misfortune has Overtaken him. Since last Thurs
day his mind has been blank. lie has no recol-
lection of anything that happened prior TO
Thanksgiving Day"
At WORK on TIE TAyGLE.
Charles w. Could assignee for the bankrupt
firm of Field Lindley, Wiechers ~ Co., for several
hours yesterday was closcted in the private Office
of the concern, at No. Broadway, and with the
sstance of the firms clerks endeavored to
sraighten out the tangled condition of the brokers
affairs But after the several hours of harl
work he was unable to give any estimate OF TIE
nrm'S assets ana liabilities. j ne Only enCOuTd8-
ing information he had to give out lie said, was
the receipt Of a check for $1,000.
The check was from George StratfOrd, Of the
Georgee, Stratford Oalum Company of New-Jersey,
said Mr.. Gould, and ! wish to say that Slr.
Stratford is certainly honorable man. IL some
OF the Others who owe the hrm money would
have no doubt that we could soon satisfy
the claims Of many creditors or have the money
with which to do it. But such people do not ap-
GEAR to trouble themselves 10 let the assignee know
IiudlpV X
them. They propose, evidently, 10 avoid payment
If possible, but l shall endeavor to find out in
my examination Of the books To whom we are 10
look for money to. ray the creditors, and when L
do know, they will be asked to settle at once.
WHO Is THIS MANI
"Who the mysterious y. g.. is / have not
been able to learn, and if there are many others
who dealt with Field, Lindlcy, Wicchers & Co.
in such way this mysterious speculator, it
may become necessary employ detectives to learn
who those spectators were. j. g. owes the
bankrupt firm $4,000 and that is the reason
he does not make himself known. Mr.. Field Is |
the only member of the firm who knows who he |
is
were carried on by the firm, neither Mr. Lindley,
Mr. Wiechers, nor Mr. Himers was aware of it, |
:" / can say" said Mr.. Gould, that when met |
the members of the firm at my house the day be- |
fore the assignment was made, and informed them |
that il was necessary to wind up the business |
every man except Mr.. Field was astOunded. The |
was i'll embarrassed condition On the con- |
trary, they thought they were several hundred
thousand dollars ahead on their investments
Did you first get your information about the |
condition of the firm from Edward NJ. Field?
the assignee was asked.
L might say yes TO that and might say no.
But | secured part of my information from him
before the assignment was made and some Of
it from other people. Ny relations with the firm
are confidential and | am not at liberty to say
where | got all my information
" Have you seen any members of the firm since
the day the assignment papers were signed ?'
THE PARTNERS LID NOT KNOW.
Il saw Mr. Hilmers yesterday, but have not
seen any of the other members since Friday. 1t
is of use for me to see them They are ig-
norant of the deals that require investigation and
if anybody has been swindled by crooked deals,
the three gentlemen are among the victims. Mr..
Wiechers loses his entire personal fortune of
relatives lose 100000. The books, as far as | can
Sec do not show where a single dollar went to-
but / certainly must Ike able to find some trace
among some Of the accounts where such large sums
were invested
Dan Lindey, too, loses every dollar he placed
into the firm No one will ever accuse him
any shady transactions In addition to his
financial loss, he is prOstrated by the illness of
his wife. IL is doubtful if Mrs. Lindley ever
gets up from her bed again. | do not know
member Of the firm can be found except Mr.
Wiechcrs, who is in Painfieldd,. ~ j."
Inc names OF the Ddnks Wilch VIII lose some
thing by the failure Mr.. Gould declined to give.
The amount, however, he said WIS not sufficient
to cause any shally feeling in any Ncv-YorlI
bank.
Senor ]. de Mier, the sugar planter from Cuba
from whom the assignee expects to receive large
amount, has not appeared at No | Broadway.
There ought to be something due 10 the firm" |
said Mr.. Gould, on account of the firms in
.cstmen in the scheme fer the consolidation Of the
sugar plantations in Cuba. But if any money is
iue the firm from that source, ScnOr de Micr is
slow about making il known. | hear he is in !
he city, but he has not been here to give US any
Information"
NOTHING DEFINITE KNOWN.
1t will be a week or ten days before | SHALL
be able to make any kind of estimate of the
assets and liabilities. j cannot say whether it
yill be million-dollar failure or a ten million
lollnr failure. because have nothing TO base any
