NEW YORK, April 30.--Dr. William
E. Woodend, broker, whip, horseman
and social leader, is gone. He is in
hiding, a fugitive from justice. The
police are in absolute ignorance of his

a million dollars of debts, two peti,
tons in involuntary bankruptcy, re-
ceiver in charge of his ,palatial offices
contending with a sheriff's officer for
the goods and chattels left behind and
a mortgage upon the mansion which
belongs to Mrs. Woodend.
He leaves also several hundred mis-
guided customers, who lose'from a few
hundreds to many thousands each, and
two criminal charges involving the al
legged larceny of $4,000.
Mrs. Woodend remains behind at the
town house, while detectives are be-
lieYed TO be speeding to Canada after
her husband.
Dr. WoOdend did not wait for the
besieging force that surrounded his
residence, IS West Seyenty-tirst street
keeping a vigil all night He disappear
ed early the previous morning. When
Edward Ii. Goodwin, the angry Peters
burg CVaJ creditor of the horseman-
financier, appeared at the W0odend
mansion, backed up by Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Krotel and half a dozen
detectives, they We're told that they
might not enter, as the doctor was very
/ Ill.
While w. L. Woodend & Co.'S liza
bilities will amount to at least half
/ million dollars, it is expected that there
/ will be no assets.
Although DR. Woodend's concern has
! been bankrupt for three weeks, money
| had been received from customers up
| to the close of business hours.
DR.. WoOdend lived in a magnificent
residence at IS West Seveny-frst
street, where he was said to be ILL.,.
