BlackmaiIing of
 An Old Man of 82
AGED MULTl-MILLiONAIRE BLEC
 BY NEGREss AND JAP.
And Proves a Sequel to the Cold Blooded Shooting Down of Andrew H. Green in Front of His Own Door Sometime Ago.

New York, Friday.-John R. Platt, multi-millionaire. past eighty, today filed papers in a suit to recover $685. 000 from Mrs. Hannah Elias, a negress of i'll repute. Platt alleges that the woman in 1896 posed as a Spanish widow. and inveigled him by pretenses of love and affection into assuming in- innate relations with her. Once in her power, Platt alleges that the wom. an threw off all pretenses and for sev- en years bled him out of hundreds Of thousands of dollars, terrorizing the cSi man with threats of exposure and family disgrace.
 Platts father is one of the best York. Rather than have the facts of his relations with negress known to them, the old man deeded her many valuable pieces of property. The wom- an was aided, Platt alleges, by a Jap anese man servant in her employ.
 Platt alleges that in 1902 the wom- an filed false certificate of birth of a white child. giving its name as John Platt. He alleges that although he is S2 years old, the woman made him believe the child was his. and that each year. she secured from him $780, 4e9. Platt alleges that he has reason 10 believe that the father of the child is Kato, the Japanese servant.
 Platt sues to have the court decide that Hannah Elias holds property in trust for him. He asks for judgment for principal and interest from date of his relations with the woman. Many prominent banks in which the negress has deposited large sums are made co-defendants.
 Mrs. Elias is the woman with whom the name of Andrew H. Green was disgracefully associated when Green was shot down in cold blood some months ago, by Cornelius Williams the woman's former husband. The negro was sent to an insane asylum. Green, who was known as the 'fathel of Greater New York" was distin guished as a philanthropist, and as l the founder of Central Park. Promi nently, Andrew H. Green was New York's first citizen
 When District Attorney Jerome fail ed to bring the negro to trial, it was openly talked that the reason was that ne desired to spare the communi ty the terrific moral shock likely tC 1 follow such a course. Greens slayel openly accused the dead man of hay ing come between him and his wife
Bisbee daily review., 1904-06-04

Green lived in the mansion next dool to the negress on aristocratic Central Park West. He greatly resemblec Platt.
 The suit commenced today vindi cates in every way the name of man against whose record there was never a breath of suspicion until foully shot down in front of his own home by 8 worthless negro. who had been led tc believe Green had robbed him of his wife.

Each OF his listeners cropped a tear
In silent sympathy. The late train
whistled into town, and as they filed
out they remembered that the agent
had quit smoking and needed some
thing TO fll the gap. The editor left
n late Dooley article on the counter,
the grocer supplemented IL with an
orange, the banker coughed up the
remnanto Of a nickle's worth Of peanuts
and the hardware man happened TO
have a big red apple with him, which
topped OF the contributions.
The agent returned To the Office and
sized up the pile, finished his night
work, hied himself 10 the iewelry
store TO feast on the free-will Offering,
went home overloaded and In fitful
slumber dreamed OF ghostly' visitors
locking for freight and express pack
ages. Phantom trains, reported four
hours late, rushed In on time and
found him unprepared. The break
fast gong finally ended his misery. He
showed up smiling at I n. m. All
traces OF worry had vanished from his
smiling co~untenance and a big, fat
HAVANA cigar preceded him on his

letaiaed at h-mc for i week Oh
account of a sore foot, returned
Sunday, his face all beaming with
smiles.
The children of the Academy
were greatly frightened Friday
night, when aroused by the first
fire alarm. They dressed amid
great excitement, attired in all
kinds of fashions, leaving the dor
mitory as If a cyclone had struck
it. They descended to the din
ing-room and sent their supplica-
tons to the Almighty, that the
wind might subside, for the fiery
cinders enveloped the church and
school, exposing them to immi-

wish to extend their sympathies
to those bereft OF their home, and
their heartfelt thanks to the Very
Rev. Father Bouska for his faith
