That Lyman S. Andrews who was the
late Andrew II. Green's confidential clerk
and bookkeeper for the estates of William
b. Ogden and Mariana A. Ogden. is In TINS
city or conveniently close by, IL the opinion
Of some people who believe they know
what they are talking about, although
Assistant District Attorney Appleton, who
has charge of the investigation OF Andrewss
alleged shortage OF $500 900 or more in the
funds of the Ogden and Green estates,
hasn't been able to find him.
It is known that the business OF the Ham
iton Storage and Warehouse Company,
at 1903 East i25th street. Of which Andrews
is treasurer and general manager. and IN
which he is largely Interested, has gone on
precisely as it did before Andrews dropped
out of sight and 1t is said that the weekly
checks issued by the company to ITS en-
poyees and other checks paid out IN the
course Of business have continued TO bear
AndrewB's signature.
How long since you have seen Mr.. An
drews?" the superintendent OF the concern
was asked yesterday.
-Oh, let me see" he replied. i think 1t
has been more than month. ~.
aIs II true that the oompany's checks
are signed by Mr. Andrews night alongF
You will have TO talk to the cashier about
that"
Mr.. Andrews has certainly not been at
this Office for about month, said the
cashier.
Does that mean that he has not signed
checks and the like recently?'
THAT most positively refuse TO answer.
said the cashier. Il don't think that Is
anybody's business but the oompany's.'
II is known positively that Andrews was
In New York three weeks ago. He made an
appointmeut to meet two of his friends at
the Hotel Netherland on Jan. orc, and did
meet them there. lawyer who would not
permit the Use OF his name said yesterday;
From what know of Mr.. Andrews per-
sonally. and assuming that he Is guilty
of the defaloation charged, I believe he
is wise enough to stay right here, keeping
dark until the embarrassed lawyers and
trustees of the tangled estates want the
missing books and papers badly enough
to come to his terms for them. Speaking
generally there is no place on earth for
man who has done wrong to hide in 80

be remembered that somebody took pains
to spread the new, that Andrews had left
the city. gone TO Mexico, perhaps.
Daniel Seymour. counsel Of the trustee
Of the william Ogden estat. had this to
cay:
SO far as I know the job OF locating
Andrews is entirely in the hands OF the
District Attorneys Office. There is enough
evidence against Andrews for tie District
Attorney to work on. More than that,
l believe it possible by the expenditure of
sufficient time and labor to straighten out
the affairs Of the estates without the records
that Andrews has in his possession, or has
destroyed. 1t would simplify matters i'm
mensely if he could he found. but even
if he isn't the task is not entirely hopeless
Alr. Seymour said that Albert f. Hensobe,
who has been acting as attorney for the
Green and Mariana A. Ogden estates and
Mr.. Sheldon, the trustee Of the W. B. Ogden
estate, have been unable to find yet how
much OF the estates funds is gone.
1T may turn out, said he. that the loss
will not be so great as at first supposed"
Col. William G. Sackett, of counsel for
the trustees of the Green estate. and George
S. Schurman, who il conducting the Grim
inal investigation on the part of the allied
estates, went to the District Attorneys
Office yesterday afternoon and had talk
with Assistant District Attorney Appleton.
None would say what the talk was about.
