HANNAH ELIAS AND SHE NEVER KNEW HIM, 1 KNOW THAT TO BE A PACT. “I am not a wealthy man now. 1 may recover this money, and I may not, but whether I do or ot I have enough left to keep me for the rest of my days.” Mr, Platt continued: “Tt was useless to attempt to kecp up the pace apy longer. The woman's @emands began to grow more and more exorbitant. She kept on threatening to expose me to my family. Up to within a few weeks ago she had never factually gone to any member of my family, but then, because I did not re- spond with as much as she thought I ought to she sent some one to see my a 3 ‘of the Buckeye Mower & Reaper Company, at No. 165 Greenwich street. This ‘emissary of the Elias woman told my brother that I had not been paying = fast nor in sufficiently Jarge amounts, and that {f I didn’t do ‘would find means to let my married daughters know all about “my relations with her. ; _ er-in-law, We came to the conclusion that the woman was determined ruim not only my reputation tn the end but in the mean time to squeeze the money possible out of me. We therefore concluded that as long as ‘eposure was inevitable it might just as well come before she had reduced me to poverty, for I have no doubt that even if I had actually given her my + dest dollar, she never would have helleved it and would not havo felt satis- ‘ny more.” “Ig it true that you are still worth several millions?” “J never was worth a million in my Jife.” “Then the loss of $700,000 in elgit years mist have made inroads {nto your capital?” “Yes; it has dug a big hole in my pile. “I've been a fool. But it’s never too late to mend. I'm in hopes that as soon es the publicity wears off i'l! he forgotten and be allowed to end my days in pence.” “When did you first meet this negress?” was asked | WHEN HI; FIRST MET HER. “J first met her about twenty years ago, when she was a littie girl of | sixteen or seventeen. You know I am an old yoluntecr fireman. I was the last President of the New York vdlunteer firemen that were legislated out ‘of active service about 1865. I had been out to Cali®srnia once with the -yolunteer firemen, and they gave mo the time of my life in ‘Frisco. Well, when some of those same firemen came Hast, about twenty years ago, I felt in duty bound to show them the town. After showing them everything lively among the ‘whites,’ early one morning they sald they world like to See Some of the ‘coon’ joints, So I took them to a house in Twenty-seventh street, kept by a mulatto woman. It was at that house that I first met Hannah Elias. 1 visited her several times soon after that, but within a short time I lost track of her. She had left that boarding-house. “IT never saw or heard of this little octoroon again until about nine years ago, when, being troubled with rheumatism, I read an advertisement in the paper that o certain person in Third avenue could cure one of rhen- * matism by massage. I didn't stop to think whether the operator was male or female at the time I read the advertisement, but I went to the address given and was surprised to find that the advertiser was none other than the Pretty little octoroon girl now grown Into full womanhood. “She reiterated to me then, what she had often told me before, that she was not a negress, but that she was of Spanish extraction, and told how glad she was to be able to get out of that mulatto boarding-house, ‘where she had always been mistaken for a negress. “She treated me for rheumatism for several months, and I did get bet- ter. One day she expressed the desire to give up the massage business and start a boarding-house, and, as she had rendered me valuable service in rid- ding me of my rheumatism, I volunteered to start her in the boarding-house ‘business, I don’t remember how much I gave her to start the boarding- house, but it 1s not enumerated in the list of amounts which I am seeking to recover, because she did not blackmal) me out of that first start. I vol- unteerd to give her the first start as a boarding-house keaper. She did, as | Swore to in my complaiat, represent to me when I moet her again, sight years afo, that she was still single and virtuous.” COST HIM $220 A DAY. The friendship of the aged John R.

The two are practically co-defendants in Mr. Platt's auit, The handsome house on Central Park West had been listiantied of its fine furnishings and a Fifth avenue firm had been authorized to see what could be disposed of for cash, Kato, the Jap, paid all the bills to trades- » men last week and explained that Mrs. Biias was going to icave the count: » It was through one of these tradesmen that the news got ‘o Warren, Wa "ren & O'Beirne, attorneys for Mr. Platt : Mrs, Wiias and Kato will not go away now. ‘The papers in the case have) been ssved on them and they will have to stay and defend the action, icik now Would jeopardize the woman's real estate Interests in this city. The defense of the action will, according to a man in this city who | very close to Mrs, Ellas, develop some very interesting facts and will show that Mrs. @lies was herseli blackmailed in (urn by persons who knew of the relations betrreen her sand My. Platt and demauded money as the price of their silenve. Said this man to-day “A certain physician and his wife living uptown discovered in some way the relations between ‘Mr. Platt and Mrs, Elias, They made demands on Mrs. Elias and successfully bled her for $100,000. Mra. Elias has the letters to prove this, and if pushed too hard will undoubtedly produce them. There were others too who extorted money from her, and before this case ix through you wi!l see a number of supposedly respectable persous dragged! into it." JEROMI; TO INVESTIGATE. The remarkable story of eight and @ half years of blackmail, during which time he was mulcted in nearly a million dollars, told by Octogenarian Joba R. Plait in his suit for the impressment of the property and bank ac- ‘counts of Mrs. Hannah Bilas, the fascinating colored woman whose fickle- ness drove Cornelius Williams to the mistaken murder of Andrew H. Green, may become the subject of an investigation by District-Attorney Jerome, While the lawyers for Mr. Platt are primarily interosted in recovering some of the vast amounts lavished on the woman by their client, they are not fn the least averse to the institution of criminal proceedings, and Ly- man E. Warren, head of the iaw firm of Warren, Warren & O'Belrne, of ; No. 31 Nassau street, and chief attorney for Mr. Platt, sald to-day that it Seemed to him the plain duty of the District-Attorney to investigate the eharges of blackmall and procee| on them if the evidence warrants it. all the charges contained in the affidavit filed in the civil proceeding. ‘The first statement of the defense of Mrs. Elias yet obtained was se- d late this afternoon by an Evening World reporter {rem Washington 8 lawyer, of No. 95 Nassau street, who is attorney for the woman.

It 1s too soon to say anything further than this now.” Mr. Brauns was asked if he believed that Andrew H, Gredn was by mistake for Mr. Platt. Ho said: “T do not know that, but I was talking of that very matter to Mrs. Elias to-lay, and she repeated to me what she has often said, that she never | knew or saw Andrew H. Green in Ler life, and that the first she ever heard | of him was when he was murdered by this fellow Williams. It seems to me that makes it quite piain—Mr, Green was a martyr.” Mr. Brauns {s a Republican politician well known in this city. He ran for the Assembly twice. Much mystery has attached itself to Mr. Platt, and since the revelations in iast night’s Evening World interest in his personality has become wide- spread. In the papers filed by his attorneys he is described as aged and infirm. He is certainly the first and physically the latter, but for a man of his age he !s keen enough mentally. STRONGLY RESEMBLED MR. GREEN. As Mr. Platt left his house at No. 7 East Fifty-fourth street with his son-in-law, Mr. Cassard, to-day, he was met by an Evening World reporter and an Evening \orld photographer. Five interesting pictures were taken of Mr. Platt, and they show better than anything how the diseased mind of 2 man like Williams might mistake him for Andrew H. Green. Mr. Platt was angry when the reporter spoke to him. He started to de nounce him, but stopped when Mr. Cassard said: “Don't say a word to anybody, pop. Keep pertectly quiet.” Mr. Platt obeyed the injunction as long as he could, but when he w ‘asked directly about Hannab Elias he aimed blows at the reporter with his umbrella and shouted: | “Don't talk to me about Hannah Elias; don't mention anybody to me! {I won't talk of anyhody; do you hear? I will not say a single word.” | All further efforts to get a statement out of the old man failed. He went downtown by the elevated railroad, and Mr. Cassard said that he was going to his office, at No, 14 Church street, to attend to business. { Mrs. Elias vas at her home to-day, but would not be seen. Her Japan- |ese servant, Kato, who is charged with being one of the blackmailers of Mr. Platt, came to the door when an Evening World reporter called at the house, and ssid: “The madame is not at home, She surely is not in the city.” A moment later when asked if he would take a mossage to Mrs. Blias asking that she say something in her defense, Kato said: “T will see madame and ask her.” He returned in a moment to say that the absent Mrs. Elias would not consent to be interviewed. Kato is a wiry little Jap, with keen eyes and an impugent little mustache, for stroking which he seems to have a great fondness. Mr. Warren was averee to making a further statement. for his client to- day, saying the entire story was told in the affidavit. The defense, he said, snot | THREW HER BABY OUT OF WINDOW To Save Her Child from Fire Jersey City Woman Tossed Her Little Boy from Second Story. LANDED BY CHANCE ON A FEATHER MATTRESS.

Assistant District-Attorney Rand, who was in charge of the District- 's office to-day, said that Mr. Jerome had had the blackmail! pro- ceedings under advisement for some time and that he would probably make some statement, now that the matter had reached the publicity stage. “However,” said Mr. Hand, “this is a case that the District-Attorney has | taken personal charge of, and no one else is authorized to say 9 word about it.” HIGHLANDERS BEAT DETROITS (Continued from Firat Page.) —$——$$_—$$ [as rr fqreed Crawford, Conroy | Anderson, ONE RUN, LEP Wiiama, Noo RC Fighth Inning Sixth ances GGpling out, O'Leary to Carr.
