inside waistcoat pocket. According to
Greene and others. when these were
taken from him. the mining man re-
marked:
81 expected to be killed, but knew 1
could kill four or five men before that"
lie had some fifteen extra cartridges
loose in his pocket and both his guns
were loaded up. Goodman was taken
ia the Tombs and held by Magistrate
Cornell on two afhdayits made by
Greene and Robbins, charging him
with ATTEMPTING to kill Greene. Mr..
Greene told the magistrate that he
knew little about the man, but did
know that he had sold a Mexican mine
TO a man named Smith for 100000 and
had gambled this away.
Goodman told the magistrate he
wanted to see 4 lawyer and asked that
the case be adjourned. He had no eX-
plan2tion to make at that time. Col
onel Greene asked that bail be put at
$1,000 instead Of $500, which the magis-
tIate first suggested. In giving his
reason for this Colonel Green was I'M
derstood by several reporters to say
that Goodman had been put up to the
thing by men who could furnish a
81. 0CO. 600 bond il necessary. Colonel
Greene explained later that he had
been misunderstood and that he had
meant that Goodman could as easily
p1t up 81, O0O 0O0 as he could $1,000, being
a poor mechanic.
Colonel Greene also said that while
Goodman had worked for a number OF
years at a mine in Mexico once owned
by John w. Gates, there was no reason
TO attach Mr.. Gates name or that of
anyone else to the case as being behind
IT, Mr.. Gates, Edwin Hawley, Frank
II. Ray and others. directors of the
Greene company were recently credit
ed with the attempt TO wrest control
CT It from Greene and his friends.
After Goodman had been locked up
IN the Tombs yesterday, Colonel Greene
went back to his office and. was con-
graduated by a lot of his friends on
his escape. Later he gave out a state
ment regarding his acquaintance with
Goodman. in which he said:
The man was a comparative
stranger to me. l have net him per-
haps eight or ten times in the last four
years. He was at one time interested
in some mining properties In Sonora
which he and his partner. Frank Smith,
transferred to the Yaqui Copper COM
pany OF 40 Broadway, in consideration
Of 100 600 shares Of the capital stock OF
the company. The stock was issued
to them according TO contract and
large portion sold by them. The stock
at one time went to SIS a share and
Mr.. Goodman's grievance Is that
through what he claims was a manipu
lation by myself and others the stock
was deprecated until at present il has
n market value much less.
The only reason thst l can give for
his act was that the money he had re-
ceived he had squandered. that he was
desperate and without means, and that
he expected me TO give him an amount
Of cash sufficient TO make up his Losses
in stocks. / understand that he has
lived many years in Mexico and Ari-
zona and is a man thoroughly well
versed in the use OF firearms and an
expert shot. / know nothing of his
antcCedant outside OF this, and l bare
- know him by sight, not recognizing
him this morning when he met me.
know OF no motive for his act"
An official OF the Greene Consolidated
Copper company went into a little more
detail regarding Goodman's acquaint-
ance with Greene. The man said that
the two had met four years ago in Ari-
IONA when Goodman was superin-
tendent 81 a mine. Said this man:
Colonel Greene did not see Goodman
again until two months ago when he
came here and asked Greene to help
him get 5000 shares from the Yaqui
Copper company. Greene had nothing
to do with the claim and Goodman APP
parently came to him simply because
he had influence with that copper COM
plny. and owned then, and still; owns.
some Of the stock Greene went around
10 the company's office with him and
got the company to agree to give him
n certificate for the 5000 shares. The
certificate was prepared, but Goodman
refused 10 accept il unless Colonel Har-
low. then president. and others would
give him a guarantee that the shares
were worth so much. as I understand il.
or course. they couldn't do that, and
since then Goodman has been coming
around here trying to see Greene.
Greene is a very busy man and could
not see him. That is why Goodman
tried 10 kill him today"
After Goodman was locked up in the
Tombs. he sent for II. b. Luce, of the
firm OF Caontor. Adams & Mcintyre.
Mr.. Luce is "A stakeholder in the Yaqui
COPPER company. and it's counsel. AT

According to Goodman, he and four
