commotion among property owners in
that neighborhood and especially among
people who bou -ht real estate there under

Marrone's story II that In August 1901
he answered the advertisement Of An in
vestment company in which Rhoades and
Iossee were named as officers. He got
an answer from Palmer asking hiV TO come
TO III Broadway. There. he says. he met
Iossee, Rhoades and another man who

had contracts to furnish granite blocks
for paving in this city. that they had con-
troll Of quarry at Sachem's Head in Con-
uecticut. and that they had another contract
for building reservoir in Rhode Island.
MarTone says he got contracts to fur
nish hborers for the two jobs and the
right to work the quarry, for all Of which
lie paid Lossee $500. Palmer. he says,
got $50 from him and Rhoades s7OO for
then. services.
According to his story. Marrone sent 500
worklnen 10 the quarry and another 500 to
the reservoir. His new friends, he says,
sent two boatloads Of equipments and
tools TO the Sachem's Head quarry. but
the tools were seized TO indemnify the quarry
owners. who said that they had not given
permission 10 anybody to work the quarry.
