CORDACE'S SECRETS.
Davenport Says He Delivered
Them Over to Hulme.
The Latter Was 10 Pay $4,000
for the Information.
Sued for the Money, but His Case
Thrown Out as immoral.

a suit brought by Nesblt " Daven-
port against George Il. Iulme to re-
cover $4,000, which came to trial to-
day before Judge Freedman. in the
Superior Court, it Is alleged. will bring
out some startling facts concerning the
Cordage Trust.
The plaintiff is brother OF Joseph NJ,
Davenport, formerly a confidential
hook-keeper employed by the Cordage
Trust, and the suit is based on "A claim
which he assigned to his brother.
The complaint alleges that April 2S,
1892 Joseph NJ. Davenport entered into
an agreement with the defendant by
which he was to give lulme all the
inside facts concerning the exact finan-
cial condition of the Trust, for which
Hulme was to give him 100000 and sell
800 shares OF the stock short for his
account.
In accordance with this agreement It
ment showing the dividends as follows:
March 26, 1883, S237Oco. Sept. p. 1889,
s75OOoo, Jan, =, 1891. 800 OOO April 3, 1891,
100000 and on the same date another
dividend of 100000; july |, 1891. $50 900.
and Nov. l., 1891, s35O,OO
At the same time he alleges he fur
mshed a copy of the proht and loss ac-
counts of the trust, which showed a total
oss of S0lI ,992. a.
The defense Is said to be that the In
formation furnished by Davenport was
not accurate and, therefore, the S2O,OOO
was not given him.
Joseph NJ Davenport on the Witness
stand reiterated the statements con-
tained In the complaint. and added ad-
ditional details,
He swore that after he made the
agreement with Hulme. but before he
carried out his part II II, Supt.
BTrnes called on him and tried To Induce
him not TO furnish Iiulme with the in
formation he had promised. He refused
to pay any attention to Snpt. Byrnes's
request.
At the conclusion of Davenport's tcs-
timony Assistant District-Attorney Well
man. one of the counsel for tho de-
fense, moved to dismiss the complaint
on the ground that the Information fur
nlshei by Davenport as WEI as the
contract was immoral and against
public policy, and therefore he could
| not recover at law,
Judge Freedman said that It was inn
| material as to the correctness of the In
| formation furnished by Davenport, Dut
| that the contract was clearly against
public policy, and that n betrayer OF
| his employers secrets could not benefit
| pecuniarily for such betrayal In the

Inqulsitor Goff, However. "Says

Rumor that "The" Allen Will Tell
Some of the Things He Knows.

The fact that ex-Boss Richard Croker
has returned to town suddenly and is
now staying at the Murray Hill Hotel
coupled with the rumors that testimony
of a specially sensational character is to
be given before the Lexow Committee
this week, is regarded in many quar-
ters as highly significant.
There has been a general belief all
along that Mr.. Croker would be asked
to 20 before the Senate Committee to
tell what he would about the way in
which Tammany Hall has managed the
Police Department, and 1t Is not denied
by those who have charge of the conduct
Of the investigation that his time has
come.

INVOICES THAT LIED.
Coundouris Accused Of Using
Them to Obtain $500.
Cigarette Maker Arrested on His
Return from Europe.
Richard & Co. Alleged that He
Made False Representations.

Nicholas Coundouris, a cigarette man
ufacturer and importer of Turkish to-
bacco, at 60 Broadway. was arrested
Saturday morning as he stepped from
the steamship Paris. by Deputy Sheriff
Geraty.
The arrest was made upon an order
issued by Justice Lawrence, OF the Su-
preme Court, in an action begun by c.
b. Richard & CO., bankers, marine in
surance and forwarding agents, at 81
Broadway, who charge Coundouris with
having secured $500 from them by false
ana fraudulent representations.
In default of IS, 500 bail Coundouris was
lodged in Ludlow Street Jail.
Oscar l.. Richard, one u the com
plainants. says his firm had done some
marine insurance and forwarding busi-
ness For Coundour's in connection with
the Importation oil Turkish tobacco, and
,hat last Spring the latter suggested that
the firm advance him money on tobacco
shipments, saying he lid not want more
than from so to 10 per cent. OF the value
of the tobacco, as sworn TO on the Con.
Coundouris represented himself as being
worth $4,000 over his liabilities as hav-
ing a home in Smyrna and a factory In
New Brunswick, N. j., and as doing a
large business.
Richard & Co. say that this induced
them to give Coundouris letter of credit
on the Chartered sank or lndla, Aus
tralia and China for f1,000. and another
for W. S. Sulzbach, a Paris banker, for
%, 600 francs. Coundouris's brother, in
Smyrna. was to draw against the let
ters of credit, the drafts to be based on
the sworn valuation of the consignments
Of tobacco.
Under this arrangement, 1t Is alleged
that on June 25 1894, draft was drawn
for $3.50 and on July 10 another for ESQ.
This exhausted one of the credits, and on
July draft for 1850 francs was drawn
against the Paris banker. Richard then
alleges that the Inquiries made by him
about Coundouris resulted in his having
n expert examine the first shipment
of tobac %, which arrived on July 49, 1t
is said that the expert reported that the
tobacco was worth only about one-tifth OF
the amount at which 1t was valued on the
Consular invoice. Richard says he learned
that Coundouris was then. In Smyr-
ma, and not in the West, on business, as
Richard bad been told and he stopped
by cable further drafts on Paris. and
visited New Brunswick. He found Coun.
douris's factory in charge. Of two boys,
who said 1t had been idle for several
weeks. The proceedings against Coun.
douris were then begun.
1t is said that Coundouris denies any
intention to defraud.
