Blatchford, for three years past
iourneyman jeweler in this city, left
TODAY for Boston, where he will be the
star witness, in a s50.00O,o00 suit
against tNe Standard Oil Company.
Back of this simple statement lies
romantic and unusual story. which
dates back nearly thirty years, to the
time when Blatchford was first mate
on the Robert Dillon, a sailing vessel
plying between New York and Rio de
Janeiro In 1878 an old man by the
name of Greenough engaged passage
on the boat stating that he was go

lently i'll and upon arrival in port was
Immediately transferred to the boat
Memnon, bound for New York. Three
days before the Memnon arrived at
America, Grennough died. On the voy-
age down Greenough took liking to
Blatchford, and told him that he had
discovered a process whereby Astral
oil could. be made non-explosive; that
the Charles Pratt Oil Company was
at that time using his process and pay
ing him therefore one-quarter ofNone
cent on each gallon of oil refined.
Blatchford gave no more thought to
the matter, learned the jewelry bust
ness. and three years ago moved to
Iowa City.
In talking with friends here a few
weeks ago, he told the story of Green
ough and his trip to South America, 1t
happened that his friends had read in

heirs of Greenough to recover $50,0O0,s

This contract had not been discovered
among the papers of the elder Green
ough until very recently. The case had
gone to trial and Rogers had testified
that the contract had revoked in 1875.
Blatchford COMMUNICATED with the at
torneys having charge of the case with
the result that they have asked him

ford's testimony that Greenough still
