Platt Against Negress:with Whom He Was Infatuated on To-Morrow. The case of aged John R. Platt against Hannah Bilas, the octoroon, whom he sued to recover $685,000 In cash and gilt-edged real estate, which he says the colored woman got from him during a course of years of ex- tortion and blackmail, was the first on Justice Bischoff's calendar In the Bu- preme Court to-day, Lymep F. Warren, for Platt, has been wrging the immediate trial of the caso for weeks, opposing every prelim- inary’ motion of Washington Brauns, attorney for Mrs, Bilas, on the ground that ft would work a delay, and that the millionaire plaintiff, who is eighty- seven years old, was iikely to die at any moment. But when the case was called to-day neither Platt mor the colored woman for whom he confesses an infatuation extending over a period of twenty years was in court, and both sldes aquiesced to an adjournment until to-morrow, Ex-Gov. Black has been retained in behalf of Mrs, Bilas, and the trial will be @ most sensational one, with a dely- ing into the inoidents which caused ComeHus Willlams, a love-crased negro, to lay in walt for and shoot Andrew H. Green to death at his own door In mistake for old man Plait, whom he resembled, and of whom Will- jams was jealous, Mrs, Elias ran up tmmense bills at | oad stores, furniture houses and the like, all of which Platt paid, and one of the difficulties which investl- gators of the murder of Green met with was ‘the reported declaration by neigh- bos that the ‘Father of Greater New York" was a daily visitor to Mrs. Eas In her $50,000 mansion on Central Park West, against which was the serious insistence of reputable merchants, who perlite carrying Mrs. Wlias's account, dry- Green had nothing to do with her, though none of them would tell why ho was 80 sure, None of them wanted to expose John R, Platt, who was paying the bills, and who bore 0 close a resemblance to Mr. Green ‘that when the latter'’sportralt waspublished in the newspapes all the nelghbors. in Central Park West de- olared It to be @ likeness of Mrs, Hlias's aged suitor, et MORF MONEY FOR MRS.
