THE ELIAS INVESTIGATION.
HOW THE "GENEVA WATCH COMPANY" IS MANAGED - ELIAS H. ELIAS MAKES
RECKLESS CHARGES.
The mythical "Geneva Watch Company" was again put
upon trial at the Jefferson Market Police Court, yesterday, in the
person of the clerk, Alfred C. Sniffen, accused of having
sold worthless watches at No. 763 Broadway. Ellis H. Elias,
the true defendant in the case, was once more severely examined by
Assistant District-Attorney Sullivan, and, in spite of
constant evasions, was forced to make some damaging admissions as to
the manner in which business was done by the "Geneva Watch Company."
Elias artfully endeavored to insinuate that the watches said
at No. 763 Broadway were bought of the Waltham and United States
Watch Companies; then confessed that only 150 of the watches were
obtained of those companies, and finally, after a painful struggle,
remembered that 3,000 of the watches were bought in Maiden Line of
foreign firms. As has examination closed, Elias
attempted to create sympathy by affirming that an unknown reporter
had tried to blackmail him on the day previous, by threatening to
publish an article in The ___ing Post exposing the "Geneva
Watch Company." Elias then potated across the room at a
spectator, whom he charged with being the blackmailer. The
accused it distantly demanded to be put upon his oath, and this
being granted, he denied every statement made by Elias.
The following is a summary of the testimony:
Ellis H. Elias testified: I wrote a circular for
my brother, William M. Elias, who was the manager of the
establishment at No. 763 Broadway; the circular was written by me, I
think, about a week before the store was opened; I wrote some other
things for the firm, perhaps as many as eight; I wrote but one
circular, and the rest were advertisements for the New-York papers;
I think I saw two or three in The Herald, and some in The
Sun; I have not notice any in The Tribune; I recollect seeing
one in The Star, and one appeared in The News
and The Telegram; there were circulars written by others in
the store, and sent abroad; I am interested in a lithographic
establishment in M___st; some of the Geneva Watch Company circulars
were lithographed there; the one now shown to me is one of them;
they were sent to persons in the city; we got the names out of the
Directory; the names of the firm on the circular, "Brown, Stanley &
Co." etc., were given me by my brother; the circular with the
affidavits of clerks I partly prepared, copying the affidavits; I
have four brothers; H. P. Elias is in the city, but he has no
connection with the firm at No. 761 Broadway; he often resorts
there, but never goes behind the counter; John W. Elias, to
my knowledge, has no connection with the firm; I have seen bills of
leading th___rendered to William M. Elias; that is all I know
about his proprietorship; I do not know that any other persons are
interested; there has been a change in the firm during the past two
weeks; my brother told me about it; a large portion of the watches
came from the Waltham Watch Co.; several dozen of them came from
there; another portion came from Giles, Wales & Co., in M____ __ne;
they were bought to fill up the stock; I don't know as they were of
a bankrupt stock; the "Geneva Watch Co." may be sensational in its
advertisements like other firms for all I know.
Cross-examined - About 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, a
man named Johnson came to me in the Metropolitan Hotel, and
said that he came from The Post, and that he and Mr. Le_t
of The Tribune were writing articles against me which
they would suppress if paid for it; I rep___d him and he left.
Mr. Johnson, the accused reporter, testified: I
am connected with The Post; I heard about the rascalities of
Elias & Co; I have often exposed him; I was told by a man whose
name I don't remember that Elias had sworn to kill me; I went
there and confronted him; I said, "Here I am; now kill me if you
dare;" I did not mention Mr. Leet's name; I solemnly
swear that I did not say anything about money; it is absurd to think
that I should.
Mr. Howe, counsel for Elias - There
was no need of this man's exonerating Mr. Leet of The
Tribune. No one in this room believes Mr. Leet capable
of offering or taking a brige, and we certainly do not accuse him of
it.
Mr. Leet, who was present, was then sworn, and
testified that the first he knew of the alleged attempt at
blackmailing was there in the court, and that he had never, either
directly or indirectly, attempted to backmail.
James F. Smith testified: I sell watches
at No. 763 Broadway; I was employed by William M. Elias, I
had been previously a weigh master in Commumpaw; I never was
employed in a watch store or factory; I have traded in watches
outside; the affidavit in the circulars is ot mine; I merely swore
that the watches I had sold were" solid gold and silver" watches;
the circulars having a__davits are displayed upon our desks; a new
supply is placed there every morning.
The case was here adjourned to Saturday next.

Note how great a matter a small animal
dog can kindle! There is a dog beast in New York city, who is
dependent upon the bounty of one Elias H. Elias for support
in his struggle for existence. This canine dog slept in his
master's apartment at the Grand Central Hotel. When Elias
H. wanted to pay his hotel bill, the landlord presented an item
for $50 for damages to a carpet, alleged to have been wrought
through the indecent conduct of Elias' devoted dog animal.
E. surveyed the bill calmly, elevated his nostrils, placed
his sinister thumb in intimate juxtaposition to the extended
phalanges of his dexter hand, and by various cunning wigglings of
the same, intimated to mine host that sentiment of the gorgeous
Snapp, M. C.: "You can't come it that way over a pensive
public." Which the name of the lessee of the hotel was
Powers, H. L., and he detained the piano of Elias
until payment was made. Mr. E. invoked the majesty of a
replevin, but the piano was gone - whither, Mr. Powers would
not say. And when a minion of the law attempted to arrest
recalcitrant P., this bloated piano holder awed the officer
into leaving the premises - suddenly. Wherefore the lessee of
the Grand Central Hotel gazes on life's mutable affairs from behind
the bars of Ludlow street jail. Such is life! |

-- David Coultrap, Republican, will contest Capt. Andrew
Stults' seat in the City Council, on the ground that the judges

-- On the night of the 29th of ?August, 1863, Jacob Baughman,
an aged and wealthy bachelor farmer, who resided near Roseville,
this county, was murdered. His body, with a frightful gash on
the head, inflicted with the axblade of a mattock; was found lying
near the well. A Coroner's investigation developed that the
house ad been rifled, and it was presumed some $400 in money stolen.
Not the slightest clue was ever obtained as to who committed the
deed. Recently rumors have been set afloat that certain
parties, now residents of Licking County, are the guilty parties,
and that an old woman, who has long resided in the family of the
suspected persons, had charged them with the crime. There is
absolutely no truth in the report, but, on the contrary, the woman
in question has subscribed to a sworn statement in which she affirms
that the accused persons did not commit the murder. It yet
remains to be seen whether she knows who did strike the fatal blow.
There is no evidence yet secured to criminate anybody. |

ELLIS H. "ELIAS' ESTATE.
His Brothers and His "Widow" After It.
The New York Times, of Tuesday, says:
There is likely to be a sharp contest for the
possession of the estate of the late Ellis H. Elias, the
originator of the "Dollar Store" scheme and various enterprises of a
doubtful character, who died at St. Cloud Hotel on the 22d inst.
Rival petitions for the granting of letters of administration were
filed yesterday in the Surrogate's office The first claimants
to appear before Mr. Traynor, the Administration Clerk, were
William H. Elias and Richard H. Elias, brothers of the
deceased. The former submitted an application for letters of
administration in behalf of himself and other heirs, and asked for
the appointment of Richard H. Elias as administrator.
Among other things the petition recites that Ellis H. Elias
was unmarried at the time of his death; that his personal estate is
valued at $170,000, consisting of $150,000 in United States Bonds
and $20,000 in jewelry and other effects, and that the heirs and
next of kin, exclusive of the petitioner, are Richard H. Elias,
brother of No. 248 West Fourteenth street; John W. Elias,
brother, of Gallipolis, O., Jane E. Byrnes, wife of Martin
Byrnes, sister, of Gallipolis, O., and Elias H. Skees,
nephew, of Charlestown, W. Va. These persons are all
represented as being of age, except the last mentioned, who is only
fourteen years old. Almost immediately after the filing of the
petition and the departure of the brothers, a woman attired in
mourning and wearing large diamond earrings, which, as one of the
clerks expressed it, "illuminated the entire office," presented an
application as widow of the deceased Elias in which she gave
her name as Maggie Elias and her residence as the Newport
Flats. It her alleged husband left $170,000 she is evidently
ignorant of the fact, inasmuch as she fixes the value of the
personal estate at $1,000. The list of heirs and next of kin
given in her petition is practically the same as that in the
application of William H. Elias the only person omitted being
the boy Skees. Cardozo & Newcombe are her
attorneys; Gale & Gardner represent the brothers.
Surrogate Calvin will appoint a referee to take
testimony in the case. |
