PECTS WORD From mn.
Green Heirs We're Warned About Him
criminal side OF the Pursuit VIII 60
nm To-day with FurthC-' John Doe
Proceeding by the District Attorney.


IN To-day Win a FurthC' John Dor
Proceeding by the District AttOrne,
George W. Schurman, the lawyer who
IL attending to the criminal side OF the
Andrews gden-Green case for the three
estates involved called at the District
Attorneys Office yesterday afternoon and
had a confab with Assistant District Attor-
ney Appleton. He refused 10 talk about
his visit, and Mr. Appleton referred in
Quirers TO Mr. Jerome Tho District Attor-
ney would not say word
Lyman S. Andrews has not been caught,
and it is not believed that any trace has been
obtained OF the bulky papers which ne took
from the Ogden estate Office in December.
To-day the John Doe proceedings will go
on. and Mr.. Schurmnn Is expected to have
several witnesses.
Daniel Seymour, attorney for Edwin II.
Sheldon. who succeeded Andrew II. Green
as trustee of the William B. Ogden estate,
said Yesterday that there was more than
one man in the crime
There probably were more than two
said Mr. Seymour. Il have no idea that
Halsey Of the mining company was involved
and do not know his partner. Holt. at all.
| was informed to-day, by man who SAID
he had private despatch, that Holt Is in
the City OF Mexico and that Andrews is in
the same place. Andrews once told me that
he was the heaviest stakeholder in tho
Popocatapetl Mining Company and that
Holt was largely Interested.
III Andre VS. has been badly advise d,
which in my opinion ~ probable, and has
taken away these books and papers under
the impression that he ia helping himself
by doing so, he is greatly mistaken. II
the books and papers have been destroyed
1t will hurt instead OF helping him. IT hc
should destroy the papers l think any jury
would consider 1t presumable evidences of
his guilt. ...o..,,, ,,., 40 r;,, ,o,into
communicat ion with Andrews. l am salts
fled that the District Attorney ~ gong abe ad
all right and that he will do all that can be
"A story about Andrews being betrayed
by woman is all bosh. 80 far as / know.
1t IL ridiculous to SAY that Mrs. Andrews
could have given any information about her
husband
Recent statements o the effect that the
". b. Ogden est ate amounted to s., 100000
have been misleading. That u the amount
rs yet undist ributed. The heirs have already
received many millions. The Mariana Ogden
estate has not been divided and the amount
in trust Is much greater than that held in
trust for her husbands heirs.
IL Is a matter of wonder among the men
who knew Andrews that his management
OF the estates was not investigated long
ago. Several Of Mr. Green's friends warned
hun year OF more before his death that
he was putting too much faith in his agent.
Mr.. Green seemed to put high value on
Andrews's services. Until four or five years
ago he held Andrews al a respectful dis
lance, discouraging the employees evident
on 10, Lr1FN N "a nj
After that said a friend Of Mr.. Green,
-the old gepteman's nerve power which
had been the wonder and admiration OF
the whole city for decades, seemed to de-
cline. 1t was apparent in many ways.
Mr. Green became friendly with men whom
he had held at swords point for years.
He was nearly so. Andrews was always
at hls elbow with suggestions and inquiries,
retiring politely when rebuffed and coming
mp suavely the next day with the same
aatonishment that Mr.. Green, whose in
vestmeuts had been models OF safeness,
had become Interested IN Andrews's mining
and warehouse schemes.
Immediately after Mr.. Green's funeral
his relatives and heirs were told that An
drews might not be just the man 10 handle
the great estates. The warnina-came from
Mr.. Green's disinterested friends. If 1t
ia true that $50 900 Of the W. B. Ogden
estate was handled by Andrews after Mr..
GREEN'S death and II II proves true that
any part OF it was stolen, IL YVES due to
neglect on the part Of those who had been
warned
The story OF Andrews's fasb ways was
corroborated from several sources yester-
day His business associates never cared
to be his social companions but they did
not fail TO Sotice his expensive habits in
The matter of horses and automobiles and
they frequently heard Of women he was
cultivating. He was never observed drink
ing during the hours when MIR. Green was
at his Office, but those who saw him later
in the day don't agree with the first reports
that he was a model Of sobrlety.
