Radium Failed TO Cure.

A direct appeal to the sympathies Of

Pigneli, one of the convicts, the prom
Use Of a pardon. Warden Osborne sent
the formal application for release to
Albany yesterday and said he had Mr..
Whitman's assurance that the prisoner
would be set free.
PATSY" is suffering from a cancer
on his upper lip. He was an inveterate
smoker, and his especial addiction to
a favorite short clay pipe is
said TO have brought on his affection
Treatment with radium lent by Frank
A. Vanderlip, the New York banker,
brought no relief, and PATSY" had al
most given up hope Of living again out
side the prison walls.
When Pignelli saw the Governor
walking through the yard he stepped
to Mr.. Whitman's side and stripped off
the bandages from his face.
Look, Governor" he said.
The Governor saw the terribly swol-
len lip and the angry. tortured sore
that would not be healed.
"That man ought not to be in prison.
he said, turning to Mr. Osborne. The
warden agreed that PATSY" needed the
care he could receive only in a cancer
sanatorium. Before he left Sing Sing
Mr.. Whitman promised to pardon Pig
neli.
The prisoner has been in Sing Sing

Republican politics. and published his
magazine to advocate the principles Of

The validity Of his marriage to Mrs
Rebecca Lowe, on February Il. 1904,
was attacked by Amelia X. Guntor,
who asserted that she was his lawful
wife. The summonSes in both suits
brought by Mrs. Gunton were served
by being thrown into an automobile
in which the Guntons and q woman
friend we're riding Il was decided
they were served legally. although they
landed in the friends lap.
In one suit Mrs Amelia Gunton CON
tended that a divorce Gunton obtained
from her in South Dakota in 1903 was
invalid, and therefore his subsequent
marriage 10 Mrs. Lowe was void. The
other suit was for damages from Mrs.
Gunton for alternating his affections.
On August 10. 1906, Justice Giegerich
in the Supreme Court signed an inter
locutory decree Of divorce in favor Of
Mrs. Amelia K. Gunton. The justice
also signed an order sealing all the
papers in the case except the decree

AS a Body They VIII
Waive Further Action
Individuals May Sue.
2715 CENTS is BASIS,
WITH THREE OPTIONS
Choices Include Two Of l2lR
Cash and Rest in Stock
Third a Stock Offer.

The deadlock between ]. 3. Greenhut
and attorneys for the creditors Of his
bankrupt firm was broken yesterday,
when ne announced that though he was
willing to pay 27l5 cents on the dollar
he would no longer cling TO the hope
that thereby he could obtain agree
ments from every creditor that he
would not be subject TO individual suits
because Of an alleged overestimate Of
assets to the tune Of about S3,O00,0Oo
in one Of his statements.
This announcement that Captain
Greenhut was ready to face the music
came as attorneys for the creditors
announced after weeks Of discussion
and dickering they had agreed on a
plan of reorganization. This plan in
Wolves the payment Of 2712 cents on
the dollar 10 the creditors and includes
three options.
Attorneys for the creditors and
Greenhut will issue to-day official
statements. together with correspon-
dence in the case. Because Of this fact
none of the attorneys attending the
meeting before Referee Olney in the
Merchants Association quarters in the
Woolworth Building would discuss the
case further.
Later it was learned that the COM
mittee Of independent creditors had ac-
copied one Of the three options, by
which they would receive 27i cents on
the dollar At a meeting held yester-
day they decided that II such COM
pensation was given them in cash. but
not in the stock of the recognized
company, they would favor the plan.
The options submitted by Captain
Greenhut in behalf of the bankrupt
firm are:
First Twelve and one-half per cent
cash and balance in first and second
preferred and common stock.
Second Fifty per cent in first and
second preferred and so per cent IN
common stock.
Third Twelve and one-half per cent
cash and Is per cent cash for first pre-
ferrcd stock TO be taken by a holding
company.
These options mean that a creditor
NAV get 27l2 per cent for his claims
and close his account, or he may take
l2la per cent cash and the rest in
stock. II is the first of the alterna-
tives that the majority of the cred
itors are determined to accept.
As a concession for this cash return
the Independent creditors have agreed
that rs a body they would waive any
action against the Greenhuts for the
remainder OF their claims. but could
not speak for individual creditors, who
might feel inclined to institute pro-
ceedings to recover an their claims in,
