THE VICTIM OP CONSPIRACY ThinVs That Ucr Father and Annt Were Both Murdered and Imagines That a . Band of Conspirators Is Thirst lng for Uer Blood. By the United Press. New York, Dec. 24. One of the most remarkable cases ever brought into the American courts promises to be that of Mrs. Hetty Green, one of the richest women In America, against the executors and trustees of her father's estate, involving millions of dollars. According to the story told today by her lawyer, William H. Slayton, Mrs. Green is in fear of her life. Glass, she declares, has been placed in her food, not six months ago; blocks of wood and stones have been hurled at her from windows as she was passing on the sidewalks, and on numerous occasions her life has been threatened. Her story is a strange one as she has told her lawyer. Her family were old New Bedford people. Her grandfather was a trader and a whaler, and Inherit ed a handsome fortune. Her mother's elster, an unmarried woman, Sylvia Ann Howland, accumulated by her own speculations a fortune of over $2,500, 000. With her Hettle Green lived when a young girl. Hetty's father, Edward M. Robinson, had large business Interests in this city And lived here. Her mother died when he was very young. Airs. Green's Strango Story. Mrs. Green's lawyer said today that she tells the following story of the death of her father and her aunt: She was called to New York on Juno 14, 1S65, by an announcement of her father's sudden illness. She found him weak In mind and declared that he was in the clutches of some conspiracy. He could speak to her only in broken sen tences, but impressed on her the truth of his belief that he was in the hands of conspirators. He warned her to be ware for her own life and pleaded with her to marry her present husband, Mr. Green, in whom he had perfect faith. About his will he expressed great con cern and told her that he wanted Henry Grlnnell, of New Bedford; Mr. Green and a member of the law llrm of Lord Day & Lord as executors. He feared that all was not well with the document and sent for it, but before it reached him he died. It was discovered when the will was read that instead of the three names appearing . as executors whom he desired, the will named two of his clerks In this city and one In New Bedford, to each of whom ho left $100, 000 for services. Instead of his daughter getting all, as she says he declared he wished, she received $1,000,000 outright and $3,000,000 in trust to go to her heirs at her death. "She has often told me," said Mr. Slayton, "that if she could find who left her father's room before she reached it,- when she found blood on him, she would know who was responsi ble for his death." Scarcely had her father been burled when the.joung girl was called back to New Bedfoid. When she reached Miss Howland's bedside the dying woman was too far gone to recognize her. Then, she says, another startling' sur prise came. Her aunt In her will, in stead of leaving her all her estate of over $2,500,000, bequeathed half to the city departments an several men whom she scarcely knew politicians of the place. The other half was left to her in trust. A Queer Nurse. A Mrs. Price, a resident of New Bed ford, now aged 80, has strengthened Mrs. Green's belief that her aunt was murdered for her money by a story to the effect that -when Miss Rowland was taken ill she called on her. She was horrified to find the nurse giving the patient doses of sixty drops of laudanum. She remonstrated and the woman told her that such were the Instate tions given her; that she -was to hide the bottles and keep the matter a secret She showed her a pile of bottles in the chimney. Mrs. Price informed her family and a doctor from Boston was eent to the sick woman's aid. The laudanum had been etopped, but the woman was raving. He talked with Miss Howland's doctor, and then told her that ho would have no more to do with the case. Soon after Miss How land died. Hetty Green believes that her aunt was murdered by a powerful band o conspirators, who were men of politl cal Influence in New Bedford. She be- lieves that the same men are pursuing her today and are pursuing her ehll dren. "Mrs. Green," says Mr. Slayton "solemnly believes this story. Of its trudh I know nothing. She is a clear headed woman and not a person to be easily led Into wild hallucinations. She does not implicate her executors, but thinks the people are others more powerful. She has suspicions, but of whom I do not know." Mr. Barling, the sole living executor, declares the story of the aunt's death ridiculous. "When she died," he said. "she left Mrs. Green a life Interest 1 one-half of the estate and the other half to the town. But I shall not talk on this new story of hers. My lawyers, Evarts, Choate and Be&man, will take care of all my affairs and do the talking." - Statement of Barling's Attorneys, Late this afternoon the latter gave out the following statement: "Edward Mott Robinson In his life tlnv) was a client of Evarts, Southmayd Choate. He died June 14, 18(16. Henry Barling, Abner H. Davis and Edward Mandall, are named In the will as execu tors and trustees and we have since been their counsel. So far as we know Mr. Barling, Mr. Davis and Mr. Mandell have at all times been faithful to their duties as executors and trustees. The lltlga tions now going on are In actions began against Mrs. Hetty Rowland Koblneon Green and others, simply to present the accounts of the executors and trustees and have them judicially settled. Th examination of the accounts is pending before Mr. Henry H. Anderson as ref ere. The proceedings have been pressed In behalf of our client, Mr. Darling, and will be to the end. The statements pub llBhed In the newspapers of the 23d Inst In so far as they, by direct statement or by Inuendo Impute any wrong doing or neglect to Mr, Barling or the other execu tors or trustees, are untrue. None of the delays that have taken jilace in this UU (ration are owing to anything that Mr. Barling has done or desired. (Signed; Evarts, Choate & Boaraan." SARCASM OF A MAYOR. Reading's Chief Magistrate Indulges la a Littlo Plain Talk. By the United Press. Reading, Pa., Dec. 24. Mayor Shana- man was so greatly incensed by the verdict of the Jury convicting Police Sergeant Quackenbos of assault and battery in arresting J. Kelm Stauffer, Yale college student, on the charge of obstructing the sidewalk, or alleged corner loafing, that he is out today in an address to "The citizens of Read ing," In which he reflects severely upon the court. He concludes his rather lengthy remarks as follows: How can an officer, not having di vine power, discriminate between a gathering of aristocrats on a corner or of ordinary citizens? If the 'four hun dred' of our city would tax themselves as such, my officers, although they are not instructed to distinguish between patriclnn and pleblan sidewalk ob structors, yet, being but men, and poor men at that, and having a due regard for themselves and a natural dislike for costly court suits, might still stretch a point in favor of the aforementioned." CAMPBELL IS CHOSEN. General Hastings Selects an Allegheny Mun for Toctory Inspector Captain l)e- laney to Bo Mude Superintendent of ublio Bulldlngs-Tho Atcanlng of the Transposition. , Special to the Scranton Tribune. Harrisburtr. Dec. 24. The seler-Mon V,v Governor-eltct Hastings of James Campbell, of Pittsburg, for factorv In spector, to succeed Robert Watchorn, as practically decided UDon last Fri day, and was definitely announced to day. Mr. Campbell, who has lone- heen one of Senator Quay's trusted lieuten ants in Allegheny county, is president Of the Glass Blowers' nHHnnlntlnn on.l bears the indorsement of the labor nr. ganlzatlons generally. His aDDoint- ment was strongly urged by Chris L. Magee and also, it is understood hv Senator Cameron. Governor Hastings had. at an enrlv day, distinctly promised the factory In spectorship to Captain John C. Tin. laney, now of this city, but formerly of iacKawannacounty. Captain Delaney's candidacy for this position had the ac tive support of Senator Ounv. nviii Martin and Lieutenant Governor Wat res. The pressure of western Renuhll, cans for recognition afterward became so great that General Hastlntrs was lm pelled to aBk Captain Delaney If he would be willing to accept, Instead of the factory InsnectorshlD. the emintlv lucrative position of superintendent of public buildings and grounds. Rather than cause the governor-elect emhnr. rassment. Captain Delaney consented to the substitution, and In consequence nis mends are assured that the can tain's name will be presented in due time for the latter position; 1 - Ihe political significance of fin. bell s selection Is variously lnternrptort but it is Interesting to note' that many politicians hereabouts take It to mean Cameron for senator in 1897, with i possible effort, on the. part of the In coming administration, to control the Pennsylvania delegation In the nevt national convention for Hastings. It is pointed out that had General Hastings earnestly desired to redeem his promise to Captain Delaney he could have done so at the time he announced his cabinet, and thus could have avoided the later complications which impelled him to select -a factory Inspector from the western part of the state. The possl bllity of an ultimate estrangement be tween Hastings and the state orcanlza tion is more frequently spoken of now than at uny previous time. In any event, the politics of the near future will, it Is believed, be replete with In terest. WIRE BREVITIES.

ROW OVER CAPTAIN DREYFUS Socialistic Utterance of Deputy Jaurcs Causes a Commotion In the Chamber, The Sitting Adjourned la Confus. ion A Duel Has Been Arranged. By the United Press. Paris, Dec. 24. General Mercler, mln lster of war, introduced today in the chamber of deputies a bill providing the death penalty for such military traitors as Captain Dreyfus. Deputy Jaures, socialist, was dele gated by his party to demand the abol ition of the death penalty in the army, In the course of his attack upon the government he said that Dreyfus es caped the death sentence because the goverment feared the consequences of executing him. Premier Dupuy reproached Jaures for voicing the theories of International socialism on a subject which should appeal to every Frenchman's loyalty. "You are the Intenatlonallsts," shout ed Jaures In his reply, pointing to the ministers. "You favor the internation alism of Habrew capitalists whom you screen and protect. Yet these Hebrew capitalists, whom you adopt as your wards, are swindlers and scamps, The chamber was brought to a high pitch of excitement by this harangue. The socialists cheered approvingly. Thenilnlsters Interrupted the speaker frequently with their protests. JVs Jaures reached the climax of hia charges, M. Barthou, minister of public works, sprang to his feet, and shouted: "You He and you know you He." Jaures reply was drowned In a tumult which was stilled after five minutes by the president's bell. There were many calls for the censuring of Jaures, and eventually De Brlsson, the president. requested him to retract his accusa tions. Adjourned in Confusion. Jaures refused flatly.

The duel was the main topic of discussion during tho intermission and the deputies were still talking of the probable conditions when the sit ting was resumed. The previous question was demanded by the government ns soon as the chamber came to order and was carried against M. Jaures' proposal. Alexander Millerand, Radical, argued In a speech on General Merleer's bill that existing laws would enable the government to punish Dreyfus with death. Lawyer Levllle, Republican, denied this, F.vonltually urgency was voted on the Mercler bill. Bogus Butter Butcher Hugged. By tho United Presi'. Olcarlleld.
