O.
WIDOW GlRT‘r‘ -' T “'2 IE STANDARD.
She Sues for $1.7 .‘,::.;., (Elven to Hide Her
Husband’s Crime.
The application of Lawyer Charles T.
\Vahle to frame issues for a trial before a.
jury in the suit of Caroline E. Girty
against the . tundai-d Oil Company
brought out some unexpected revela—
tions. The plaintiff is the widow of the
late George \V. Girty who, previous to
his death on January 31 last, had been
for more than twenty years the cashier of
the Standard Oil Company. The suit, as
Mr. Wahle explained was to. set aside the
transfer of $150,000 worth of property
made by Mrs. Girty to the company on
the groundiof duress. fraud, and misrepre~
sentation made by her husband.
On March 19, 1883, when the plaintiff
was 62 years old, her husband came to
her and told her that lie was a thief and
had embezzled $264,450.29 from the com-
pany. He presented her with a paper to
sign, explaining that unless she did so
he would be arrested and both of: them
disgraced. He even threatened to com-
mit suicide unless she carried out his
wishes. and also proposed the alternative
of ending the whole trouble by dying to-
gether.
Finally she signed the paper, but only
after her husband had told her that the
document was simply to be used as a col-
lateral security, and that it would not de-
prive her of any right or interest she
might have in the property.
Mr. Girty had been employed by the
Rockefellers in a confidential capacity
for nearly thirty years when he died. He
was with them in 1866, when they kept
a grocery in Cleveland. At that time,
according to Mrs. Girty, the Rockefel-
ler’s assets consisted of an ,old desk, a
pine chair, and a yaller dog. Mrs. Girty,
inherited money, and increased it by
judicious speculation. In 1879 she built
a. house in Euclid avenue, in Cleveland,
which cost; $110,000. This property, to-
gether with twelve lots in the heart of
the city of Cleveland, is what she de
elares was transferred to the Standard
Oil Company under misrepresentation.
Before the conveyance on March 26, ’93,
the Standard Oil Company began to op-
erate in the German oil market and Mrs.
Girty declares that her husband was in
with them on several deals, and that
they squeezed him and {made him a pau~
per. Girty was considered to be worth
$500,000 before that, and he was left with
nothing,
Notwithstanding the fact that the
Standard Oil Company declared Girty to
be a defaulter, they continued to employ
him in a position of trust and responsi-
bility to the time of his death, at a salary
of $10,000a year. \Vlien he died they gave
$1,000 toward the expense of his funeral,
and sent a committee of the Board of
Directors to Cleveland in a private car to
attend the funeral.
Furthermore, the conveyances signed
by Mrs. Girty, under the laws of the
State of Ohio, should have been acknow-
ledged by the wife separately and apart
from her husband. That never was done.
The papers were signed and acknowledged
by Mrs. Girty in the presence of her hus-
band, and when he left her he took the
papers with him.
Interesting Facts and Opinions Chronicled

mittee continues to be highly entertain
ing. Here is a gem:

go upon the stand to vindicate himself of
the charges of other witnesses: How
many promissory notes of yours did the
breyvers of New York hold while you
were Excise Commissioner? A.——I don’t
know of any.
Mr. Goff then worked the old familiar
bluff of pretending to have the (locus
ments he was inquiring about in his pos-
session, and worked as usual with en-
tire success. “ Will you swear?” he
roared, fumbling over some papers with
the aid of young Mr. Jerome.

them. .
It was shown that for some Of the barns
rented from Senator Plunkitt the city
pays as high as $5.500 a year. '
Senator Lexow (to the witness)—-Do you
think it was a delicate and proper thing
for you to do to incur such an indebted.
mess to Senator Plunkitt, who has such
relations to your department? A..--~Per-
liaps it was not.
Q. by Mr. Goth—Have you ever paid
poor Old Topyleynji the money you cheat-
ed him out of? A.——I never cheated him
out of any money. _
Q.——But he has begun an action against
you? A.—His daughter has.
Q.-He was an old soldier of the war
and a. friend of yours at that time? A.—-
Yes, and I supported him for two years
while I was getting him his pension.

money you put in a counter claim for
your services? A.—-—I paid him money as
he required it.
Q.—By the way, that decoration on your
