Ray and Daniel J Sully were mentioned as equal partners in the purchase of 90,000 bales of cotton in January, for which Sully & Co, still owe $900,000. Another record was found of a pool formed March 1 by Frank H, Ray and D. J. Sully, in which 22,C00 bales of cotton were purchased and ‘or which the Sully firm owes approximately $250,000. Sully contends that on the evéning of March 17 he met Hawley at the Waldorf-Astoria and agreed to let him out of Pool No. 3 for one-thire of the losses, which he sald would be $500,000. He says Hawley refused. *,/ but that the next morning, the day of the cotton collapse, he received @ check from Hawley for $80,000, with a letter saying he had accepted Sully’s offer and now considered himself out of the pool, Sully turned the =~ over to the receivers and contends that Hawley still owes $220,000 and that Ray owes $300,000 on the January pool.
