Although the animus of the man who wouhi have his life is knowm- to Col. Greene, it was with the greatest difficulty that he was Induced to sexy janything about it in court. In a fit of passion, however, over the fixing: of small bail for the prisoner Col. Greene made the remarkable statement that men of millions were behind Goodman and that there was no doubt fm his mind that ho had been put up to the job of killing him by some one else. - Later he declared that the prisoner was an employee of a mine owned by Jobn W. Gates in Mexico, and this brought to the minds of many who heard Col. Greene the bitter rows which have been on for years between the Greene and the Gates copper Interests in Mexico and Arizona. It was only five weeks ago that Greene in Washington publicly de nounced Gates az a man who had schemed to knock down the price of/the stock of the Greene Consolidated Copper Company for the purpose of st curing control of it. After making this remarkable statement in court Col. Greene refused to discuss it further. He succeeded, however, in having Goodman's bail raised from $1,500 to $5,000. i ONCE ‘‘BRONCHO BILL,’’ COWBOY. Col. Greene is one of the most interesting of the Western millionaires: who have come to live in this city in the past ten years. For years he-was, a cowboy in the West and known in Arizona and Mexico as “Bronco BUL™ He struck copper, became a millionaire, locked horns with Western amd Eastern kings of finance, made more millions in Mexico, where he crowded other big mining men to the wall, and, all in all, had a tumultuous career before he came to this city to take personal charge of the Greene Consoli- {dated Copper Company, of which he was president and principal owner. Since he has been here, Col. Greene has been in constant litigation. He used the Gates-Ray-Hawley crowd of trying to steal his company, and has been fighting the Rockefeller-Standard Oil crowd tooth and nail. Me has been sued a dozen umes, and has sued right and left in return, haa, an fact, been the most conspicuous figure in mining litigation in the country outside of Heinze, of Montana. Up to a year ago Col. Greene lived at the Waldorf-Astoria, with bis wite, who was a Miss Mary Proctor, of Tucson, Ariz., and a year ago a baby was born to the couple there. It was the first child born in the big hotel. Col. Greene moved his family to the Ansonia afterward, and has been hy- ince. ef papers as can be learned, Col. Greene's first encounter with Good- man occurred three weeks ago. Goodman had come on here from Mexico and had been stopping at a hotel at Ninety-first street and Lexington re nue, He went to the office of the Greene Consolidated Coppér Company and told the Colonel that there was still 5,000 shares of the stock of the Yaqui Copper Company, which 1s one of the consituent companies of the Greene Company, due to him. GOODMAN'S CLAIM ALL RIGHT. Col. Greene told him, he said to-day, that he would have to-present his, claim at the office of the Yaqui Company, at No. 170 Broadway. If it was all right, he sald he tolé Goodman, he would turn the stock over to him. Col. Greene says that Goodman’s claim was all right and that he offered Rim the 5,000 shares of stock, but that Goodman refused to sign a receipt for the stock and therefore did not get it.
