can extract the cube root of any number,
but didn't know what a water tank was
beside the railrod track and hadi never
before sen a blue-coated conductor or
brakeman. After a trip of 100 miles across
the country In a railroad train he took a
drive of eight miles to the farmer's home
where he has been adopted. It waa his first
ride In such a conveyance. For the first
time in his life he sat down to a family
dinner with a good farmer and his wife
and could not realize that he and they were
the only ones In the house. Reared In the
homo at Davenport and never having been
out of the city limits of Davenport before
he had conceived the Idea that Davenport
was the world and thought he was still
there. The Stnte Board of Control has
rec?ntly adopted a new method and em
ployed Miss Clare Lunbeck to supervise
plac'ng the orphans' In homes for adoption.
Orphans have been adopted out before, but
only as they were asked for. Miss Lunbeck
Is now the agent for the board and spends
her entire time In finding the children

ELUS CASE Te THE FORE

LIAISON HAS CAUSED ONE MAN'S IEATH
Andrew It. Green Waa Killed by
Segro Wit Waa Sapposed to lie
Trilaa- to Assaaalnate
John R. Piatt.
NEW YORK. Jan. U.-The final struggle
for the possession of nearly three-quarters
of a million dollars between John R. Tlatt.
an aged millionaire, and Hannah Ellas, a
negress who, he charges, wrongfully ex
tracted the money from him, whs scheduled
to bgln before Justice Blschoff In the su
preme court today. In this sut it was ex
pected that the whole nmazlng story of the
affair which attracted the attention of the
entire country", when the secret of Piatt s
relations with the woman were revealed by
the filing of his suit last summer would
bo brought out.
Interest In tho case was Intensified from
the first by the strange and tragic death
cf Andrew H. Green, one of the city"s most
prominent men, who was shot to death al
most at the door of the Elias woman's
home on Central park west a few months
before the Piatt suit was filed. Green's
murderer, a negro, who was captured and
later sent to an Insane asylum, said he had
shot Mr. Green because he was Jealous of
the letter's attentions to Mrs. Klias.
With the filing of the Piatt suit the con
tention of Mr. Green's friends that he was
a victim of mistaken Identity when the
fatal attack was made waa practically
proven. There was a remarkable similarity
In personal appearance between Andrew H.
Green and John R. Piatt and Mr. Piatt
himself has said that he believes the In
sane mgro Intended to kill him and mis
took Mr. Green for him.
Mrs. Elias maintains that the vast sum
named In Platfs suit was given to her vol
untarily by Piatt that he literally threw
money at her. She has told of one Instanca,
when, she says, after pressing her to take
a large sum which she refused, he threw
a great handful of banknotes on the floor
and she had a servant gather them up on a
dustpan. On the other hand, Piatt claims
that the defendant resorted to every trick
and device her Ingenuity could command
to extort money from him during the
twenty years of their acquaintance.
Mr. Piatt is now 87 years old and very
feeble.
When the case was called today It waa
found that several witnesses regarded as
material by the defense were not present,
and on the request of Mrs. Elias' counsel
the case went over until tomorrow.
