A Rich Old New York Nan "Hoo-
dooedn by Woman.
THE GREEN TRAGEDY RECALLED
Hannah Elias, About Whom Prom
inent New Yorker Was MUIR
dered, the Woman in
the Case.
the Case.

A dispatch from New York says the
murder several months ago of Andrew
Green, known as the father OF Greater
New York and one Of New York's
most prominent public men, was re-
called Wednesday when suit was
brought by John r. Platt against
Hannah Elias, mulatto, to recover
certain real estate and money in
banks, held In her name. Mr.. Green's
murderer, q negro named Williams,
said his victim had interfered to
separate him (Williams) and Hannah
Elias. Williams was declared insane
and sent to an asylum. He had an
noyed Mr.. Green for some time and
Mr.. Green had said he never saw the
woman Williams referred to. 1t
developed after the murder that
Hannah Elias had become wealthy
and occupid costly residence in Cen
tral park, west.
Mr.. Platt in his silt asks the courS
to hold that Hannah Elias holds prop
erty as trustee for him on the ground
that the money paid for the grounds
and premises were procured from him
by fraud, duress, coercion and black
mail without any consideration. In
the papers filed, MIR. Platt says that
he Is upward Of S3 years old, a retired
merchant, In feeble health and wild
over. He says that he first met
Hannah Elias prior to January, 1896;
that she represented herself to be a
single woman Of Spanish blood, but
that he discovered afterwards that
she was the wife of one Mathew G.
Davis. The papers go on to say that
soon after Mr.. Platt formed her ac.
quaintance she told him that he had
gained her love.
Mr.. Platt says that these protesta-
lions or love were scheme on her
part to enable her to coerce and black
mail him into giving her large sums
of money. According to the papers
filed, Mrs. Elias said her husband was
a negro and that her husband threat
ened to do the plaintiff bodily
harm and expose him. The PLAINTIFF
states that he paid Mrs Elias $685.
600 at different times between the
years 1896 and 1904. 1t is further
alleged that Mrs. Elias told the plain
tiff that she could not obtain divorce
unless her husband received 6,OOO
and that as result OF threat made
by her he paid that sum of money
and she obtained the divorce. This
amount he, alleges, never was paid to
the husband, and that during the year
1897 he was coerced into paying the
husband, who in the meantime had
been divorced, the sum OF SIC 900 not
to press threa tened suit.

TAKES HIS OWN LIFE.
Mayor McIanc, OF Baltimore Shoots
Himselfin the Head.

A dispatch from Baltimore says
Mayor Robert M. McLane, of that
city, shot and killed himself at his
home Monday afternoon in his bed
room at his residence, No. 20 West
Preston street. His bride of less than
two weeks was at the time of the
tragedy asleep in an adjoining room,
and was awakened by the discharge Of
the revolver, which Mr.. McLane evil
IDENTIFY fired while standing before the
mirror Of the dressing case
The bullet entered the right tenn
pie, and crashed through the head in
the rear Of the left ear. Mrs. NcLane
and other members cf the household
rushed TO the mayors assistance, but
he did not regain consciousness after
he fell to the floor, and expired with
in an hour. A number Of physicians,
who were Immediately summoned,
gave the opinion that the wound was
necessarily fatal.
No cause can be assigned for the
act by the members Of Mr.. McLane's
family. Since the fire of last February
he has been kept aSsiduously at work
administering the affairs of the city,
besides endeavoring to direct the re-
and rebuilding of the
burned district. This, together with
criticisms by his political opponents,
IN thought by many to have caused
temporary alteration of mind.
Coroner Benjamin f. Hayden sign
ed a certificate giving suicide as the
cause OF death, and the remains were
turned over to an undertaking firm to
be prepard for burial.

Found Charred Cornse.

Detectives OF Delaware county and
Philadelphia, Pa, are working hard
in an endeavor to unravel the mystery
connected with the finding OF the
body Of a man on Decoration day in
the marsh close to the banks OF Darby
creek, south OF the city. On the banks
OF Darby creek are scores Of boat
houses, many OF them being the rend-
ezvous OF dissolute men and women
who spend nearly every Sunday dur
ing the summer months IN drinking
and carousing. 1t iS evident an at

Of Sunday, May 22d, rope and two
pieces OF chain we're stolen from
Horne's barn. This chain was found
close TO the body Of the murdered
man. 1t had been fastened to fence
pests by staples and after close in
vestigation, the detectives have come
TO the conclusion that the man had
become involved in a quarrel over a
game OF cards in one OF the boat
houses and had been murdered; that
his body was chained t. the posts,
Satura' ed with oil and then set on
