NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-The explanation OF
Mrs. Hetty Green's frequent visits to this
city, and OF her residings at and sudden re-
movals from nearby stopping places within
the last two or three years. has been dis
covered. The home OF Mrs. Green, who
is generally admitted to be the richest as
well the closest woman In America, is
at Bellows Falls, VT, and. as 1t is known
that she 'detests'' New York people who
know her best have been at loss to find
an explanation for her almost continual
presence in the city The cat is finally
out of the bag. For nearly three years
Mrs. Green has been at war with the exc
cutors and trustees of her fathers estate.
and on every Friday afternoon since jan
uary. 1892, with the exceptions of brief
vacations in the summer months, she has
been at the Office of Henry II. Anderson.

yers. On all such occasions she has been
aware that the suave referee, Henry II.
Anderson, was receiving SIS per sitting at
her expense for his share in the proceed

sessions down from three TO two and a
half hour in length The lady with the
old-fashioned dress ani the green umbrella

terson, of the Supreme Court, appointed a
referee for the purpose of discovering what

request by the executors and trustees of her
fathers will 1t will be several months be-

woman.
A PECULIAR CASE.

wife had died several years before. and
he had only single daughter. Hetty Rob-

Hetty was at this time engaged to be
married TO William III. Green man who
had had some dealings with her father
When the will of Edward NJ. Robinson
was read IL was discovered that he had ig-
nored the prospective husband of his daugh-
ter and had named his trustees Henry
A. Bosing, Edward NJ Mandell and Abner
III. Davis. All Of these persons were en-
