BLACK TO DEFEND hrs. ELIAS.
RETAINED FOR NEGRESS VINO
cor OLD PLATT'S CASH.
The Ex-Go, ernor's Retainer 10 Plead for
the womsn's Right TO Retain 500. 900
or So. Said 10 he SIS ,OOO-Appeai
soon to he Heard-Money Now Tied Up

Ex-Gov. Frank s. Black has been
retained by Mrs. Hannah Elias, the
negress, as associate counsel In the suit
which the aged John X. Plat has brought
against her to recover nearly 500 600 W hich,
he alleges. she extorted from him by threats
to expose their relations. The Suits now
on the regular calendar of the Supreme
Court and is not likely to be reached for
trial for at least two years
In the meantime Mrs Elias is restrained
from disposing OF any OF her real estate,
several valuable city parcels standing in
her name. and the numerous financial in
stitutions In which she has deposits have
been enjoined from paying out any of the
cash beyond an allowance for her living
fixed by the court.
This injunction was made permanent by
Justice blanchard An appeal was taken
by Mrs. Elias. No date has been set for
the hearing Of this appeal by the Appellate
Division. but it Ia expected that 1t will be
held in the latter part of this month, The
argument for Mrs. Elias. 1t is said, will be
made by Mr.. Black
At present Mrs. Elies's attorney OF record
is Washington Brauns. the lawyer whom
she called in before she WAS arrested for
blackmail and who defended her from that
charge when the case was dismissed in
the Tonbs police court Mr. Brauns con-
firmed the report yesterday that eX-Gor,
Black had been retained as associate coun-
gel. He said that there was nothing new
in the case and that the retention of Mr.,
Black by Mrs. Elias at this time had no par
ticuar significance. He was retained"
said Mr.. Brauns, because | consider him
one of the ablest lawyers in this country"
Ex-Gov. BLACK said that his understand
ing Of the matter was that his firm had
been retained although he admitted that
he personally would probably have charge
of the litigation as far as his firm was con-
cerned. He said that he had given no at
tention to the matter yet and was unfamiliar
with the details Of the case.
1t was reported that Mr. Black had re-
ceived retaining fee Of $4,000, or $40 900
less than was at first demanded, Neither
he nor Mr.. Brauns would discuss this phase
Of the matter.
Mrs. Elias is still in the country with
her last child. She went there in June upon
the advice of her physician to recuperate
after the exciting experiences incident
to the bringing of the suit by Mr.. Plat
and her subsequent arrest for blackmail
when the doors of her home in Central
Park West were battered down at mid =
night.

secrecy the five submarine boats that have

the earth shake. He gathered in the money
drawer and dived out Of a window Just in
time, for the wagon plunged forward and
it's front wheels hung over the hole.
Another rumble of the earth and the Pilot "
dangled by one wheel, which had caught
on a post, spilling sandwiches, pork pies
and hot coffee into the subway.
On the other side the timber sheathing
held but there is n lO0-foot crack in the cob

and squad Of policemen stood on guard
all the evening Keeping people of, for fear
that the east side might cave in too. 1t
