They are run tn such a manner, however, that at times a wvded by two-thinds thelr capacity, Furthermore, the company has a habit of curtailing its car service in a mysterious way. This is shown by the figures taken on Mareh 5 on the northbound schedule, Trains Disappear. On that night, between 5 and 6 P. M twenty-nine trains left the Brooklyn Bridge.

Although declared insane by the Bellevue specialist, Mrs. Willams to- @ay told her own story of her business relations with Mr. Morgan. She says she assigned to Mr. Morgan a equity in the Winans estate. Lawyer Has Assignment. Former Judge Sylvester 8, Taylor, of No. 44 West Twenty-fifth street, her counsel, admitted to-day that among the papers Mrs, Williams turned over to him is what appears to be an assign- ment of her interest _in the Winans es- tate of Baltimore. Judge Taylor says that it Is a remarkable document in many respects, ‘The assignment !s dated four years ago, he says. The paper assigns all of ‘Mrs. HNa- Barbara Wiltame's interest im the estate of De Witt Clinton Winans to J. P. Morgan, and as a conelderation the latter agrees to “employ attorneys and advance to Mrs, Willlams such sums 8s he deems necessary.” There is also a provision to the effect that Mrs, Williams's interest in the estate is to be rea: ned to her upon the pay- ment of such sums as have been ad- vanced to her and $00 In addition.

When she is takep finally to the Su- preme Court a jury trial will be de- manded. This will bring to light all the Getails of her business relations with J. P. Morgan. “SsOne of Mrs, Williams's friends, who had access to her private papers, sald to-day that-there was a receipt show- ing tht Mr. Morgan's confidential man had pald the Fifth Ayenue Hotel,one Dill of $5,000 contracted by Mrs, Will- Yams.
