NOTICE TO UAIT Estate of William L 4 unseat to the order of E

CREDITORS.

WILL OKT FIVE PER CENT. This ia What Receiver Bradley Saya . of Storey Cotton. Senator William J. Bradley, receiver of the St*'tey cotton concern, which has flimflammed thousands, said a few things lbs other day about bow tbe work of untangling the knot was proceeding "At the present outlook," said be. "We will be inoky If we caa pay beck to the io- * iwioipA per east, of what they paid In. We Are after the chief promoter, Stone, alias Merrlan. If we can get him and our Philadelphia lawyers are at « ork on it, we eau arias his VMO.OWor UTL.OOn worth of Philadelphia real estate; tUto we can give the creditors something." "This mac Stone," tbe Senator said "was tbe chief silent opetator of tbe scheme aa it waa ope rat rd. bat it is'rumored that be ia bundling off to Europe and tnav be enroots there now." Mr. Bradley shed some new light on tbe way the concern did business on their

booka.

"For Jaanary last the receipts were •806,000. They thought nothing of roielng a balance of whatever waa corded to balance their books, to the extent of **8.000 or *80.000. as tbe e pert finds. Aside from aa occasional entry of this sort, the expert finds but a few dollars In errors iu the bookkeeping. It Is very hard to tell the fictitious entries from tbe good ones.' "You would be surprised at tbe people who are in tbe concern—men you snd know well," said tbe Seaator. "One lady high |n social life wrote me a letter praying and heseechioK me not to publish tbe names of tbe creditors, as in her cat would bring 00 an immediate family disruption. Another woman In-rated *500 of her sou's money. He is at 001 lege and does not know what his mother baa done. She told me that she cannot tell tbe boy. aa It would almost kill her. I told her that she might just as well 1o it, as there was very lit 1 le hope for tbe creditors at the pre outlook of thing*.” Mr. Bradley said that he was still staidly receiving Inters of all kinds from tbe people intemued in some manner in tbe concern. "It's almost p-o-t elief. tbe magnitude of these swindles," said tbe receiver. Tbe office force, composed of the expert, Mr. Clark, of Camden, several clerks and the receiver, hare settled down to routine work at the defunct company's office* Sixth and Arch streets. Camden, in Jbe storage warehouse building.
