ridicule the atatemenl made by his son that his estate tttnoutts to onJy half a million or perhaps 350000 Yesterday an old gentleman called at tho offices ot Messrs Hsjsletino Washburn counsel for Joseph Richard sons widow and said with a laugh Why when I saw that affidavit of Oeorgo Kith ardeon that hU fathers estate did not amount to more than a few hundred thou aand dollars 1 wondered If it was really true as I had often supposed that his own lth and kin Md not know by many millions how much the old gentleman left We were associated In several enterprises sod from what Uttlo ons could glean In that connection from one so sjcrctlve I am positive be did not have less than five mllllcms a short tlmo before he died One of the witnesses of tho will dated April 74 1S97 said yesterday Is It reasonable to suppose that a man worth only 850000 would have been elected a director of tho Pacific Mall Steamship company only a month before he died when he appeared at a board meeting perfectly sound minded and as 6brewd as ever Tho directors of that concern and many others with which he was concocted are men whose wealth Is Usually estimated as much moro than a paltry few hundred thousand dollars Moreover the men who used to call upon Mr Richardson ln the famous splto house wero none other than the presidents and secretaries ot big railroad companies and other moneyed concerns SECURITIES SCATTERED Until an executor or custodian of his estate Is selected by Surrogate Fitzgerald no one can even approximately estimate the amount of tho millionaires wealth The securities ore scattered ln a half dozen sato deposit companies After his death tho widow searched everywhere for any memoranda of his assets but found nothing not even the keys to his strong boxes All these are probably at No 8 Broad street In tho offices of Blesell Co where be was a silent partner and where about 150000 or more of his money lies Soon after Mr Richardson died tho Journal published a list of his stock and realty holdings which Is about asorrect as anyone can guess till tho different sate deposit companies are required to deliver up his boxes unci the conservator of tho estate makes demands on the various steamship and railroad companies Jo know whether he did not figure as a stockholder on tbeir hooks I should say tfic following con talnoi the principal companies In which he was Interested New Jersey Central Railroad company Western Union Telegraph company Manhattan Elevated Railroad company Missouri Pacific Railroad company fllotostem and Shreveport Railroad company Missouri Kansas and Texas Railroad company Oregon Short Lino Rallroaa company as trustee Nickel Plate Railroad company Pacific Mall SteaiTKhip company Pinlisoh Gas Light company Bridgeport steamboat line consolidated Mexican Central Railroad company 2000 shares 6 per cent coupons New York Central Railroad company West Shore Railroad company New York and Now England Railroad company South Brooklyn Ferry compan Bridgeport water works Houston Texas waterworks Nashville Tenn water works HIS ABSENTMTNDEDNESS Some of these holdings he may have re Hnquilshed ln his latter years notably the New Jeitrey Central He received laige block of that stock thirty or more years ago when be did a great deal of construction Work far them But nns thing Is cei liiin of oil the stock Blssell Co and others held for him none was ever hy hypothecated One reason why this cry of poverty is raised by the lawyers for his son George la perhaps duo to Mr Rlchcrdsons absent mlndednees occasionally and tbe false Impressions It may have engendered As nu Illustration on ono occasion be gave his wife a check on tho Union Trust company for only 100 She deposttea It In the Oriental bank It was returned stamped No funds Now the old gentleman had forgotten to tell Blesell Co io Keep up his balance at the Union Trust company but that did not Indicate that ho did not have 100 to his credit MAKES IT EASY TO TICK
