 from the New York suns account o
 the trouble.
 After Goodman was locked up il l the Tornbs. he sent for H. B. Luce l Mir. Luce Is a stOckholder in the Yaqu Copper company, and i:s counsel
 After seeing him. Good man consented
 to seeing the reporters, to whom he told his side of the sapabsle, his story { -ee -seelhis hi ehidGt6f5Fd 59 MT Luce.
 According to Goodman, be and four or five friends had {. lot of mining claims in Sonora, Mexico, which were put into the Yaqui company of New Mexico. organized about thfee years ago. This company had a capitaliza- tion Of 55O .00O and was absorbed by a new company, organized under the laws of West Virginia about two years ago with a capitalization Of 5000, 900 900, OOOO shares Of stock at BIO per share.
 "In this new company, Greene and his friends, including Colonel W. F. Harlow, lawyer Of Minnesota, were 70 have 400,0 900 shares and Goodman and his associates 100, 000 shares. Each crowd was to put one-fourth Of it's stock into the treasury, and this stock was to be sold to raise working capital. In consideration Of the fact that Good man and his associates were practical miners and had no money, One-fOurth Of their treasury shares was to be paid to them to help them along until the company began to make money.
 "' Iu addition, said Goodman, my. self and my associates put into pool our remaining shares, amounting to 7j, GOO shares, under an agreement en- tered by all, including Greene, by which only treasury stock was to he sold until May ,. when the pooling agreement was to term mate. Instead of keeping to this Greene and his friends deliberately sold their stock in stead of the treasury stock deposited under this agreement, and have cleared over &, 100000. ] notified my lawyer, MT. Luce, last winter, when l learned of this, and Mr. Luce demanded and re- reived back the 5000 shares put into the pool by myself and friends. By selling all the stock they had, Greene and his friends had got the stock down from SIS share to where it was worth and instead of having S50, 900 I haven't got cent. They refused to give me back my treasury stock or to give me any which | claimed under this agreement, and simply frOze me out. Frank Smith, my partner, sold out to them for Sl a share and they brought his stock up here and sold it for Sl2 share. came up here to get revenge. Perhaps l'll get something somehow
 "Goodman's lawyer, Luce, said: So lar as know, Goodman's story is true. He has practically been ruined through this stock deal and he hasn't got cent now.
 "Mr. Luce said that he would appear n court on Monday to ac. for Goodman l and John r. Mcintyre would appear with him.
 "'Before this case is through said !. Nr. Luce, we will subpoena d lot Of .hese fellows like Greene and Harlow, 1 md it will make vecy strong argu- rent before jury. I'll tel you
 Luce said that the Haqui company lad got rid Of Harlow and was now in ! process Of reorganization with the 1 object of applying money 10 legitimate !. development of the company $ proper les. Greene and his friends, said be, . have sold all their stock, and it is true, 1 Is Goodman says, they have made uu- over S2, 900, 900. As to what | he company intends to do in the mat | .er that I cannot disclose
 "Coodman's statement and that of ! .is lawyer were shown to Max Harby, l Col. Greens counsel. He said:
 "'I think l know all about Col | Greene's affairs Of this kind and have ! never heard of any such agreement or )f anything Of the nature he speaks Of. | IT Goodman had any claim at all it was )n Col. Harlow. as Col. Greene men, toned. and was not on Col. Greene
 The present president Of the Yaqui ! company is William Sauntry, of Still ! water, Minn, and Senator George E, l Green, of Binghamton, is treasurer. i The compauy's white and gold offices l the Broad way v-Maiden Lane build ing were in charge yesterday of very ,usiuesslike woman, who said that all l he officers were away.
 Goodman has wife and children n san Francisco. His home Is in Ari- .opa. Since he has been here he has ,een at the Highland hotel, at Ninety irst street and Lexington avenue. MT. Luce could not get 5000 bail for him ,esterday. so he will probably stay in be Tombs until Monday"
